Flue Requirements:
It is required to have your chimney inspected and cleaned by a certified
chimney professional before Hitzer Furnace installation, and at least twice monthly during the
heating season. If material has accumulated, it should be removed immediately to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire. If a chimney fire does occur the fire department should be called immediately
and the draft controls should be closed on the stove. It is also required to have a chimney that is
built according to the
manufacturer’s specifications and meet local building codes.
Flue Size:
The proper flue size is very important. The proper flue size is essential in order to
have the correct amount of draft required to operate the Hitzer Stove. The diameter of the flue
size including chimney liner should never be less than the diameter of the flue exhaust collar on
the Hitzer Furnace. The flue size for the 55 furnace should be a minimum of 6 inches in diameter.
The flue size for the 82 furnace should be a minimum of 7 inches in diameter.
Flue Size (Continued):
The flue size also has a maximum size of inches in order to sustain the
desired draft. For an interior chimney the flue and chimney liner size
cannot
be larger than
3
times
the square inches of the flue exhaust collar on the Hitzer stove. For an exterior chimney
that has at least one side exposed to the exterior of the house the flue and chimney liner
cannot
be more than
2 times
the square inches of the flue exhaust collar of the Hitzer Stove. Also keep
in mind the warmer the chimney is the better the draft.
