Chimney Types and Recommendations
See Diagram on page 8.
Safety requirements demand that your Fire Chief Furnace be connected to “Class A” HT2100 All Fuel, or stainless-lined masonry
chimney ONLY.
By definition, “Class A” refers to either a lined masonry chimney or all fuel factory-built chimney. Although experts have expressed
differing opinions as to which system is the best, it is a matter of what you find most suitable. Regardless of your choice of chimney
type, for model FC300F, a minimum 6-inch diameter chimney is needed. In order to create the most effective draft, the chimney size
should not exceed 12 inches, with a maximum .08 water column inches of draft. The flue draft can be measured with the use of a draft
gage or manometer. If there is more than .08 water column inches of draft, it can be adjusted with the installation of a flue damper.
The stovepipe required to connect the furnace to the chimney should be a minimum of 24 gauge black or stainless steel. NEVER USE
GALVANIZED PIPE. Horizontal run should not exceed 5 feet and should have a minimum rise of 2 inches per foot. No installation
should have more than 2 elbows, a 45° elbow is recommended over a 90° elbow.
As a safety precaution, all pipe selections should be fastened together with a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws. For your convenience,
the crimped male ends of the pipe should point toward the furnace to form drip-free connections, thereby reducing the possibility of
creosote leakage from the joints. Installing a heat reclaimer in the pipe is not recommended because it reduces the stack temperature
thus causing creosote formation. Installing a manually operated cast iron damper in the stovepipe between the furnace and the
chimney pipe is recommended. The addition of a damper will greatly assist in regulating the fire and achieving optimum results. Always
install a tee with clean-out cap to the chimney outlet on the back of the furnace. This allows for easier cleaning of the chimney system.
Never use a 90° elbow off the back of the furnace.
When using a masonry chimney, you must line the chimney with a stainless steel liner. The stainless steel liner will keep the chimney
temperature hotter for better draw and significantly reduce the creosote formation in the chimney. If using this method, a 6-inch
stainless liner should be used for model FC300F.
WARNING- RISK OF FIRE:
• Do not operate with flue draft exceeding .08 water column inches (19.9 Pa).
• Do not operate with fuel loading door or ash removal drawer open.
• Do not store fuel or other combustible materials within marked installation clearances.
• Inspect and clean flues and chimney regularly.
DANGER: Risk of Fire and Explosion. Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, or other flammable liquids/inappropriate
materials.
WARNING:
• NEVER use galvanized pipe in your chimney connection, it produces poisonous gases when subjected to extreme
temperatures.
• USE only lined masonry or manufactured Class “A” HT2100 All Fuel Chimney for your furnace.
• INSPECT chimney system periodically for structural integrity.
• CLEAN the chimney system regularly to prevent creosote accumulation.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
