Outdoor Furnace Installation
We recommend that the furnace be installed by a
qualified installer.
1. Position furnace on pad. Note: Lift only by top lifting
hook or bottom forklift guides. Use caution! Furnace
is heavy.
2. Identify and remove components shipped in the
furnace, in firebox or rear of furnace: ash rake, flue
clean out tool, water level indicator and Empyre
System Optimizer.
Outdoor Chimney Installation
Install a 1 inch (2.54cm) insulated chimney that is listed
to ULC-S610 and ULC- S604 standards. Apply a bead of
high temperature silicone on the outside of the chimney.
For tall chimneys, chimney braces are recommended. It is
recommended that a minimum chimney length of 5 feet
(1.52m) is used.
ImpOrtant: A spark arrester must be installed if the
Empyre Elite XT furnace is used in a high fire risk area.
Indoor Chimney Installation
When installing a new chimney flue, be sure to observe
local building codes and the National Fire Protection
Association rule: the top of the chimney must extend at
least 3.0 feet (0.9 m) above the highest point where it
exits the roof and be at least 2.0 feet (0.6 m) taller than
any point of the roof within 10.0 feet (3.04 m).
For a new chimney, use an insulated stainless steel
system that conforms to type HT (High Temperature)
requirements of UL 103 and ULC S629 and complies with
the requirements of Chapter 11 of NFPA 211, Standard
for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning
Appliances. Sections of stove pipe (minimum 24 gauge
black or blued steel) may be used from the furnace to the
insulated chimney. Note: avoid using 90° Elbows; 45° is
recommended.
A chimney cap must be installed.
Lining masonry chimneys with a stainless steel liner is
recommended.

supplying make up air
Fireplaces, other furnaces, clothes dryers, exhaust fans,
and other appliances all draw air from the room in which
they are located. The Empyre Elite XT adds to that draw,
making it important to ensure there is an adequate
source of fresh air to offset these demands. Otherwise, a
negative pressure may be created in the room and starve
combustion in the furnace.
1. Determine the volume of space (cubic feet) in the
room. Include in the calculation adjacent rooms and
areas not closed off by doors.
Volume (CF) = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)
2. Determine the air input requirements of all applianc-
es in the space. Add them and round the total to the
nearest 1000 BTU per hour. The Empyre Elite XT 100
requires 85 CFM (cubic feet/minute), the Elite XT 200
requires 120 CFM.
3. Determine whether the space is ‘confined’ or ‘uncon -
fined’ by dividing the total volume of the room by the
total input requirements for all appliances in the room.
a. If the result is equal to or greater than 50 CF/1000
BTU per hour, then consider the space ‘unconfined.’
b. If the result is less than 50 CF/1000 BTU per hour,
then consider the space ‘confined.’
4. For an ‘unconfined’ space in a conventionally con -
structed building, the fresh air infiltration through
cracks around windows and doors NORMALLY pro-
