ALL APPLICATIONS (INSTALLATION)
Fireplace/Firebox Sizing (VENTED and VENT-FREE):
1.

Gas Supply and Pressure (VENTED and VENT-FREE):
1.
Natural Gas: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment shall be 5 inches of
water column. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure shall be 7 inches of water column.
2.
Propane Gas: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment shall be 11 inches of
water column. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure shall be 14 inches of water column.
The Propane source must be regulated. Never connect CHILLBUSTER directly to an unregulated Propane tank.
Preparation Of Fireplace (VENTED and VENT-FREE):
1.
Ensure firebox and chimney damper/flue are thoroughly cleaned (if previously used for either gas or wood
burning.)
WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes
and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
2.
The area around the CHILLBUSTER must be clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and any other
flammable vapors and liquids. Provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
3.
Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be permanently closed at time of installation.
WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or
other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts
that alter burner flame patterns.
Pressure Testing (VENTED and VENT-FREE):
1.
Use Propane Gas resistant compound on all pipe fittings (not on connections with flared fitting).
2. The CHILLBUSTER and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The CHILLBUSTER
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
3.
Test new piping for leaks using soap solution. Do not use open flame to flame test.
VENTED INSTALLATION (Additional Requirements)
Damper Stop
Clamp
Damper
Chimney
Flue
General Information (VENTED):
1. The minimum permanent free opening of the fireplace
chimney or chimney damper must be at least 2 9 sq. inches
based upon a minimum chimney height of at least 10 feet.
2.
Solid fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or UL 127 factory
built fireplace where a CHILLBUSTER is installed.
Damper Clamp (VENTED):
2.
The chimney damper must be fixed in a manner to maintain
permanent free opening as (outlined in item above) at all times.
To accomplish this, install the damper clamp (provided) on the
edge of the damper blade to prevent its closing, or drill holes in
the damper
.
