Chimney Clearances and Installation:
Requires Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6” Chimney.
The furnace requires a minimum of 6 feet of chimney. Maintain the “10/2 Rule” for the chimney – In order to determine proper chimney
height above the roof, measure from the side of the chimney horizontally. As you move up the chimney, the length of the measurement
increases. Once this measurement reaches 10 feet, this height on the chimney is your base height. The chimney must be 2 feet taller
than the base height and the chimney must be 2 feet higher than the peak of the roof. The 2 feet above the base height does not include
the cap. See diagram below.
By definition, “Class A” refers to either a lined masonry chimney or all fuel factory-built chimney. Although experts have expressed
differing opinions as to which system is the best, it is a matter of what you find most suitable. Regardless of your choice of chimney type,
a minimum 6-inch diameter chimney is needed. In order to create the most effective draft, the chimney size should not exceed 12 inches,
with a maximum .08-inch water column draft. The flue draft can be measured with the use of a draft gage or manometer.
Bypass Damper:
The bypass damper has several purposes: starting the fire, improving the efficiency, and cleaning the chimney. When starting a fire in the
Shelter Furnace, you must pull the rod out for a stronger draft during ignition. Once the fire has started, close the bypass, which allows
the secondary combustion chamber to engage, increasing the furnace’s operation to peak efficiency. If the bypass rod is not closed
during operation, the furnace’s efficiency will be greatly reduced, allowing the heat to escape up the chimney. Finally, when cleaning the
chimney, the rod must be pulled out to allow any build-up in the chimney to fall into the firebox.
