Getting Started

Installer’s Guide

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Before installing, determine the following:

• Type of chimney connector to be used

· single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel, or

· double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel

Must be installed meeting type HT (2100°F) requirements

per UL 1777 (USA) or ULC S635

• Consult page 28 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of appliance and chimney

To be sure that your appliance burns properly:

• During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should

be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)

• During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately

-.10 inch (W.C.)

• Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the

appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

B. Draft

Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and

national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fi re offi cials or

authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation
inspection, and permits.

• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between

14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.
