VENTING INSTALLALLATION
Page 16
All single wall chimneys must be at least 18” from any combustible surface.
Fire can result, causing severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
A major cause of chimney-related fi res is failure to maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to combustible materials. It is of the utmost importance that all chimneys be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
CHIMNEY MATERIAL
The Furnace must be connected to either a:
1) Class “A” masonry chimney.
2) All Fuel metal insulated chimney 6”
or 8”
3) Listed type “HT” double wall chimney approved for temperatures up to 1400 °F 6” or
8”
CHIMNEY CONNECTORS
Connectors shall be installed to join unit to the vertical chimney unless chimney is attached direct.
1) Chimney connector can either be:
A) 6” or 8” solid fuel rated stove pipe with:
• Minimum thickness: 28 inches.
• Maintain 18” clearance to combustibles.
B) 8” listed type “HT” double wall chimneys
• Maintain 2” clearance to combustibles
2) Furnace must be the only heating appliance connected to a single chimney fl ue.
3) Keep the connector as straight and short as possible.
A) Minimize elbows.
B) Maximum horizontal distance between furnace and chimney: 6 Ft.
C) “Male” end should point back to furnace.
D) Horizontal runs must be pitched back to the furnace in accordance with local Building Codes
(typically 1/4” pitch per Ft of run). E) Secure each connection with a minimum of 3 screws.
4) Assemble in accordance with the vent manufacturers instructions. Additional sections may be required to clear
the peak of the structure. Do not install more than one appliance per fl ue.
5) When burning coal, a barometric draft damper MUST be installed between the furnace and the chimney to
ensure adequate draft.
DO NOT install more than one appliance per fl ue. Flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions can occur causing severe personal injury or death.
***CHIMNEY MUST BE INSTALLED OR INSPECTED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND MEET ALL LOCAL AND STATE
REQUIREMENTS AND CODES FOR WOOD OR COAL BURNING APPLIANCES.***
