Chimney
Types
and
Recommendations
See Diagram on page 8.
Safety requirements demand that your Fire Chief Furnace be connected to “Class A” HT2100 All Fuel, or stainless-lined masonry chimney
ONLY.
By definition, “Class A” refers to either a lined masonry chimney or all fuel factory-built chimney. Although experts have expressed
differing opinions as to which system is the best, it is a matter of what you find most suitable. Regardless of your choice of chimney type,
for models FC1000, a minimum 6-inch diameter chimney is needed. In order to create the most effective draft, the chimney size should
not exceed 12 inches, with a maximum .08 water column inches of draft. The flue draft can be measured with the use of a draft ga
u
ge or
manometer. The stovepipe required to connect the furnace to the chimney should be a minimum of 24 gauge black or stainless steel.
NEVER USE GALVANIZED PIPE. Horizontal run should not exceed 5 feet and should have a minimum rise of 2 inches per foot. No
installation should have more than 2 elbows, a 45° elbow is recommended over a 90° elbow.
As a safety precaution, all pipe selections should be fastened together with a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws. For your convenience,
the crimped male ends of the pipe should point toward the furnace to form drip-free connections, thereby reducing the possibility of
creosote leakage from the joints. Always install a
"T"
with clean-out cap to the chimney outlet on the back of the furnace. This allows for
easier cleaning of the chimney system.
When using a masonry chimney, you must line the chimney with a stainless steel liner. The stainless steel liner will keep the chimney
temperature hotter for better draw and significantly reduce the creosote formation in the chimney. If using this method, a 6-inch stainless
liner should be used for FC1000.
9. Plug motor into the back of the electrical control
center.
10. Connect the thermostat wire (not included) to the
two (2) posts located on the side of the control center.
For convenience, you might consider locating the wall
thermostat next to your existing thermostat in your
home. The thermostat MUST be installed for the
furnace to operate.
11. Plug the 3 pronged grounded plug into a grounded
electrical outlet.
5. Mount the forced draft blower with three 1/4-20 x 3/4" bolts (provided).
Attach with three 1/4-20 x 3/4" Bolts (provided)
6. Attach Fan limit with three #8 screws in pre-drilled holes.
7. Mount the electrical control center with four #8 screws (provided)
8. Secure the flex conduit to the side of the furnace using the brackets with
two (2) screws provided.
