Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Before
installing, determine the following:
• Type of chimney connector to be used
-
Single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless
steel, or
-
Double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter,
stainless steel
•
Consult page 28 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower
Check building codes prior to installation.
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
installation inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney
flue servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution
duct or system.
May allow flue gases to enter the house.
NOTICE:
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of
the appliance system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
•
Tight sealing construction of the structure
•
Mechanical exhausting devices
•
Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
•
Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully,
all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through
the chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
•
Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
•
During the burn, the chimney draft (static
pressure) should be approximately -0.07 inch
water column (W.C.)
•
Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top
of the appliance after one hour of operation.
