HEIGHTS FOR
WOODSTOVE FLUE
Simple rules on draft. See Table 1.
1)
At sea level minimum height is 12'
straight.
2)
Add the following vertical height to compen-
sate for:
45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.
90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.
"T"
= 3 ft.
Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft.
3)
Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea
level.
Example: a)
1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run
= 3 ft.
one "T"
= 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 6 ft.
Example: b)
One 90 deg. elbow
= 2 ft.
2 ft. of horizontal run
= 4 ft.
one "T"
= 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 9 ft.

Once you have properly marked the position
of your unit and the floor protection as outlined
in the Residential Installation items #1 through
#8, a supply of fresh air has to be supplied to
your unit. Cut a minimum 4 inch diameter hole
through your floor protector and the floor directly
under your pedestal base to the outside. Use
4" duct pipe with a mesh grill to pipe fresh air
into the pedestal area. Block off the hole in the
back of the pedestal with the square plate and
the two 1/2" screws provided.
Place your unit in position and secure it to the
floor using two lag bolts 3/8" x 3-1/2" through
the two holes inside the pedestal base. It is
important to maintain the structural integrity
of the Mobile Home floor, walls and roof when
installing your unit.
For Mobile Home units installed in the U.S. the
unit must be grounded using a #8 ground wire
with approved termination and star washer.
WARNING:
Minimum height requirements
must be met. Safe removal of
the chimney system must be
adhered to when transporting the
mobile home.
WARNING: Operate only with door fully
closed - open feed door to feed fire only.
Draft is the force which moves
air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The
amount of draft in your chim-
ney depends on the length
of the chimney, local geog-
raphy, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much
draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appli-
ance and may cause dam-
age. An uncontrollable burn
or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft.
Inadequate draft may cause
back puffing into the room
and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause
the appliance to leak smoke
into the room through appli-
ance and chimney connector
joints. Ensure the heater is
installed in areas that are not
too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause un-
healthy air quality or nuisance
conditions.
