Specifications 

 

General Requirements 

 
The installation of any solid fuel heating 
appliance is not a do-it-yourself project. The 
Energy King should be installed by a 
qualified heating specialist. Check with your 
fire department and building inspector for 
local, state and federal codes regulating 
installation. Wood or coal related fires are 
caused almost exclusively by installation, 
operation or maintenance errors. 

 
 
 
Only type HT or Residential type masonry 
chimneys intended for use with your Energy 
King should be used. 
 
 

Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue 
serving another appliance.

 

 
 
The Energy King is to be used in conjunction 
with a listed gas or oil fired furnace or as a 
central furnace. 
 
 

Electrical supply: 
 

115 volts, 60HZ, 1 phase, 15 amps. 
Install system with 0.2 static pressure. 
Flue setting .06 in of W.C. minimum. 

 
 
Smoke detectors in “working” condition 
should be a part of every Energy King 
furnace installation. This is the most 
inexpensive insurance you can buy. 
 
 
 

 

Placement – Minimum Clearances 

 
The furnace must be installed on a non-
combustible floor or 3/8 inch thick fireproof 
millboard or equivalent. The non-combustible 
material must extend at least 8 inches from  
the sides and rear of the unit and 24 inches  
in front of the unit. 
 
One very important step in positioning your 
wood/coal furnace is the distance from your 
new or existing chimney. The unit should be 
installed as close to the chimney as possible 
with a minimum of elbows (no more than two) 
and a run of no more than 6 feet horizontally 
maintaining a ½ inch rise per linear foot.
