INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The solid fuel heater should be mounted on a bulkhead. The area available must be large enough to
allow at least 8” of side clearance from combustible surfaces. It must be lined with high-density heat
retardant insulation and finished with light gauge metal preferably stainless steel. Locate the heater as
close to the floor as possible for maximum stack length and to provide good heat convection. The
location must also take into consideration stack configuration and insure that the chimney above deck
is clear of any obstruction.
MOUNTING AND SECURING
Screw or bolt the heater to the stainless steel panel on the bulkhead using the rear mounting brackets
provided.
FLUE STACK
The length and straightness of the flue stack are important to the efficient burning of the heater.
Diameter
-
3” (7.82cm)
Recommended length
-
3 to 4 ft (.91/1.21m)
Note
The stack must be the correct diameter.
The flue pipe requires 1” (25mm) of clearance as it rises through the deck.
Elbows in excess of 45 degrees not recommended.
A barometric damper is highly recommended to slow the burning but keep the
draft strong. A manual flue damper is also available but only recommended with a very short chimney.
THE ROUND PIPE IS SQUEEZED TO FIT THE OVAL FLUE COLLAR ON THE HEATER
