1.  Introduction

 

1.1  System Design

 

EXHAUSTO model RS Chimney Fan is a chimney top mounted ventilator that is designed to provide large 

 

flue gas volume capacities.  It is designed and intended for use with oil/gas fired central space heating 

 

systems, for volume water heating or for combination space heating/volume water heating. 

 

This product is developed to prevent draft problems from occurring by creating a mechanical draft in venting 

 

systems and thereby also increasing the capacity and efficiency of a venting system. 

 

The use of the EXHAUSTO Chimney Fan is not restricted to any type of chimney, because the fan creates a 

 

negative pressure (below atmospheric) in the chimney.

 

1.2  Code Compliance and Listings

 

Installations must conform to requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.  Where required by the 

 

authority having jurisdiction, the installation must also conform to the Standard for Draft Equipment. 

 

All electrical wiring must be in accordance with the requirements of authority having jurisdiction or, in 

 

absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code.

 

The EXHAUSTO Chimney Fan, Model RS, is tested by the ETL Testing Laboratories and is labeled and 

 

listed for use with non-solid fuel applications. 

 

Caution:  The chimney fan must be interlocked with the connected appliance(s) to insure proper 

 

combustion and to avoid flue gas spillage.

 

1.3  Warranty Information

 

Conditions available from EXHAUSTO, Inc.

 

1.4  Package Shipment

 

The packing list (attached to one of the packages) clearly lists all items in the shipment and each package 

 

has a label showing the contents.  Check the list against all materials on the job site for completeness.
