Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent

replaces

successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure
• Location

replace and chimney

B. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the

replace to operate properly. Causes for this

imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).
• Range

hoods.

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters

and other combustion appliances.

• Clothes

dryers.

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air

conditioning.

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.
• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch

opening, duct leaks.

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-
ing must be considered:

• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of

the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.

• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion

appliances and exhaust equipment.

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not

located in the immediate vicinity of the

replace.

• Avoid

installing

the

replace near doors, walkways or small

isolated spaces.

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic

hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct
work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.

• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack

effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent

replaces in basements.

Asphyxiation Risk

Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.

WARNING

Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,

state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,

re of

cials or authorities having jurisdiction about

restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

CAUTION

When planning a

replace installation, it is necessary to de-

termine the following information before installing:

• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections

3 and 4.

• The vent system con

guration to be used. See Sections

5 and 6.

• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
• Framing

and

nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.

• Whether optional accessories are desired. See Sections

7 and 12.
