9. Installation
Paxo ® wood boilers are designed to conform to and be installed in accordance with the very strict European regulations. The

When installed in the United States, all applicable local codes and regulations apply.

10. Location
The boiler must be located on a level concrete floor or on a similar non-flammable surface.
Wood gasification boilers are heavy. Make sure to consider the weight when planning the installation.
The boiler can be placed in a utility room, basement or outbuilding, along with wood storage. Putting the boiler in an outside location
is recommended for easy access to wood storage.
Adequate space around the boiler is needed for installation, operation, cleaning and maintenance. Enough space is needed for loading
the boiler and emptying the ash bin. The distance between the boiler and the surrounding walls should be sufficient to allow access to
all of the boiler’s parts. The boiler must be positioned to provide minimal clearances from combustibles and surfaces: left and right
side = 18”, top, rear and front = 36”.
If the boiler is placed near inhabited rooms, so that the flue gas can easily penetrate into these rooms, a carbon monoxide alarm must
be installed that can give a warning regarding possible escapes of carbon monoxide into the inhabited rooms.
As an additional precautionary measure the boiler must not be installed in an area, room or outbuilding where there are flammable
liquids or combustibles. Examples include: refrigerants, paint thinner, bleach etc. It is also strongly recommended that a certified Fire
Extinguisher is mounted in proximity to the boiler.
11. Chimney Specifications
The chimney or flue is one of the most critical factors in the successful operation of any solid fuel heater, including the Paxo® boiler.
A good chimney will provide a continuous and dependable draft to pull the exhaust gases out of your boiler. The boiler must be
connected to a tile-lined masonry flue or to a Type HT approved chimney. Minimum required flue size is 8”x8” with square tile or 8”
diameter round tile or stainless steel. No other appliance should be connected to this flue. The boiler should be connected to the flue
with the shortest, most direct run of black stove pipe. Maintain a minimum of 18” between the flue pipe and combustion surfaces.
Prior to operation, the installation should be inspected and approved by qualified professionals (for example; a chimney sweep, a
licensed plumbing and heating technician, an electrician). The chimney and the connecting pipe need to be insulated for safety and to
prevent condensation and a reduction in the draft caused when the gas in the chimney cools down too much. If there is still a problem
with draft (too much or too little), you may need to consider draft inducing fans or draft regulators may need to be considered.
