3. Mechanical installation
3.1 Positioning
Considered a mechanical draft system, there are much different code requirements than for a gravity venting
system or
grease ducts used with gas or solid fuel applications.
As a general rule, the mechanical draft system
must be installed min.
3 feet away from any forced air inlet located within 10 feet, and min. 4 feet away from any
door or window.
For complete
information, consult
exodraft
or your local building codes.
Adequate fresh air must be provided for combustion; otherwise, improper operation and
inadequate venting of deadly flue gases may result.
If you are installing the fan on an existing chimney system or grease duct, you must clean the
chimney or duct prior to installation.
Always use a certified chimney sweep to clean the chimney, duct and grease fan.
3.2 Installation on steel duct
y
Insert the steel chimney adapter into the chimney where the long collar engagement ensures safe
anchoring
(see
Fig. 2).
If necessary, the adapter can be secured by means of long self-tapping
stainless steel screws into the side of
collar through the chimney wall.
Do not obstruct the flow.
y
Turn the
exodraft
fan upside-down and lay a bead of hi-temp silicon on the base close to the outer edge
(not
shown).
y
Remove the transport securing device (if present) holding the motor shaft and impeller in place.
y
Place the fan on the adapter with the fan inlet centered over the chimney outlet.
y
Open the fan and secure the fan onto the adapter, through the pre-drilled holes in the bottom, with
lag bolts or
self-tapping sheet metal screws, one at each corner.
y
Seal around the fan base to make sure it is watertight and no water can slip in between the fan
and the adapter.
Do
not block the 4 drain holes.
