PLACEMENT & VENTING
Furnace installation shall conform to the required installation code for oil-fired equipment
(USA: NFPA 31, Canada: CAN/CSA B139).
FLOOR SUPPORT
If required, support furnace on five (5) concrete blocks.
Make sure the center of the furnace base is supported.
CHIMNEY/VENT
Connect the furnace to a chimney/vent system of size and material
required by the NFPA 31 (USA) or CAN/CSA B139 (Canada) code.
Furnace is approved for factory built chimney type “L” vents. Breech is
certified for 5” vent pipe. Keep vent/flue pipe as short as possible
with min. 1/4” per foot upward slope. Vent/flue pipes MUST NOT
pass through a ceiling. Maximum flue gas temperature is 575°F.
PRESENCE OF CONDENSATION
IN THE CHIMNEY OR FLUE PIPE
Presence of condensation in your chimney or flue pipe is not normal, all
necessary precautions should be taken to prevent condensation build-up
in the flue pipe and inside the chimney. Make sure that the chimney size
is according to the tables in CAN/CSA B139 / NFPA 31.
The base temperature of the chimney can be increased by insulating the
flue pipe between the furnace and the chimney base. If this is not
sufficient, consider cutting evenly the flue baffles in the furnace.
