Location of Furnace
SOME STATES HAVE THEIR OWN LAWS!
The outdoor furnace should be located at least 10 feet from your home (according to most
insurance companies), with the door facing away from the house, so that all fire danger is
removed from your home. We recommend 30 feet or more. The furnace may be installed as
much 30 feet away from your indoor furnace. The chimney should extend at least 2 feet
higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 100 feet but MAY need to
extend to your roof ridge line.
The furnace should be installed
on a 4” thick concrete pad
or you can use solid concrete
pavers.
A) It is recommended that the furnace be located with due consideration to any
neighboring residences and to the prevailing wind direction.
B) Do not locate an Outdoor Wood Burning Appliance within 100 ft of a residence
not served by the furnace.
Follow local and state laws concerning setbacks.
Please be considerate of neighboring residences, properties, parks, etc.
C) Review the recommended stack heights on page 9.
D) Do not locate near any combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable
liquids or gases.
E) Locate away from dry grassy areas, dry leaves, brush and trees.
F) Place far enough away from any building to minimize fire danger.
G) Check with your insurance company and local codes or ordinances.
H) Do not install in an area where nearby structures or trees might cause
downdrafts or fires.
I) Typically, Outdoor Wood Burning Force Air Furnaces are located 5 - 20 ft down
wind from the served structure.
J) Locate the furnace to allow easy access to wood supply.
K) To aid in smoke dispersal, extra chimney lengths may be required depending on
the distance to surrounding structures.
L) The furnace requires 115 V, 30 Amp electrical service to operate.
Failure to keep the HyProTherm Furnace area clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and
vapors can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
CONCRETE PAD:
The concre
te pad should have a ¾”
PVC pipe placed through the
concrete to run the power supply and thermostat wire (see below image). The furnace
should be installed on the concrete pad with the rear of the furnace 2-3 inches from end
of the pad, so that the pipe comes up in the space provided under the back access
door.
We recommend the pad to be an add extra
48” in length to
allow ample concrete in front
of the furnace to stand, for loading wood and removing ashes.
