C. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
To be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney
draft (static pressure) should be approximately -0.10 inches
water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -0.04 inches
W.C. during a low burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above
the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each
burn setting.
NOTE:
These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat
for individual installations.
• This appliance was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (427-487cm) high, (in-
cludes appliance height) measured from the base of the
appliance.
• The further your stack height or diameter varies from this
configuration, the possibility of performance problems
exists.
• Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet (304.8m) above sea level.
• It is not recommended to use offsets or elbows at altitudes
above 4000 feet (1219.2m) above sea level or when there
are other factors that affect flue draft.
