SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.
SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Your Buck Stove MODEL 85 meets EPA Phase II 1990 for a non-catalytic unit. It’s designed to
meet most stringent emissions standards without use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is
achieved through use of a secondary air which is mixed with primary air in unit's firebox.
For peak performance, we suggest the use of natural seasoned hard wood, loading wood
length way from front to rear.
NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less effi-
cient burn performance.
You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or
painted wood or any type of coal or flammable fluids.
The primary air, which is controlled by user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
firebox through secondary air tubes at top of firebox.This secondary air burns impurities in
smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this combustion is
maintained through firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is necessary,
contact your local dealer.
Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from
approximately 11,800 to 45,00 BTU/HR.
This heater is equipped with a standard room air blower.
For operation and use of these electrical assemblies, see instructions provided in this manual on
page 32.

SECTION II
MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION
The Model 85 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a
woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important considerations when
installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof and at least 2' above
any point of roof within 10'.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of
firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of firebox opening.
2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from front of firebox opening and front of ma-
sonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of hearth to protect combustible
materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material
or equivalent.(See Page 6.)

FLOOR PROTECTION
Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness
An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is given—no conversion is needed.
K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C
2. Determine R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.
3. If overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector,
the alternate is acceptable.
Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =
0.893
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
= 0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.
Definitions:
Thermal conductance = C = Btu = W
(hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K)
Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu)
(hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(ft)(°F)

BEHIND rear edge of lintel to ensure proper draft.
(See Figure 2).
2. Center heater in fireplace opening.
MOUNTING TRIM PANELS
After unit is positioned, mark mounting position of
trim panels as follows:
1. Place side trim panels in place, flat against
face of fireplace. Mark down front edge of trim
panel with a pencil to make a vertical reference line.
(See Figure 3).
2. Place top (long) trim panel in place on top of unit.
The panel should be flat against outside face
of fireplace and standing vertically. Mark along
lower edge of trim panel with a pencil to make a
reference line for mounting.
3. Slide unit out of fireplace far enough to work
behind trim panel reference lines.
FIGURE 3 MOUNTING TRIM PANELS
FIGURE 2 POSITIONING
4. Mount side trim panels. (See Figure 3).
a. Position trim panel on reference line.
b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in and out if
necessary.
c. Mount trim panel using self-tapping screws provided.
5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with unit. Position
bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as
guide. Tighten down screws.
6. Now, follow installation procedures in listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and install
heater and connect kit in fireplace. If not using one of installation methods shown on
(Page 8). continue.
7. Slide unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat against
front of fireplace. If one or more of panels is out of position, slide unit out and reset by
loosening mounting screws and repositioning in slot.
8. Reinstall top trim panel by sliding rear lip of top trim panel underneath front lip of mounting bracket already
secured to top of unit.

Page 10
NOTE: Mount top trim panel so that it sits in front of top of side trim panels.
9. Obtain brass trim kit provided with insert kit and slip over top and sides of trim panels. Top ends of brass may
need to be trimmed to fit (See Figure 4).
10. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1" on each
side and top. (See Figure 4A).
11. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet
stove. (See Figure 4A).
12. Slide unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned and lie flat
against front of fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide unit out and reset by loosening mounting screws
and repositioning in slot. With bar lift stove up in front. Place insulation across front and surface of hearth
or bottom of fireplace to make complete seal.
13. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If flame
leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
FINAL CHECK
1. Recheck specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.
3. Open primary air control
Primary Air Control: The primary air intake draft controls are located at right and left bottom side of
hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into firebox) or in (to control or close off) air
into firebox. (See Figure 4).
4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit
or in high traffic areas.”
5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that stove draws properly
through primary draft.
NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”
6. Check for smoke leaks around door.
7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly
positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and
holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be
obtained.
If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal problem, contact your dealer for
assistance.

ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTORS MATERIAL
Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with a K* factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the K* factor (s) is calculated
as follows:
FORMULA:
Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) X (thickness of millboard)
EXAMPLE:
An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K* of .9375 would require a
thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch
K* FACTORS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS
Material K RequiredThickness
Ceroform 126 .21 1/8"
Limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"
Hearth extension or floor protector thickness above four (4) inches are generally not acceptable
due to cost, floor load capacity and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No.
126 millboard 1/8" minimum and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on
top of it.
* The K* factor represents thermal conductivity of a material and is time rate of heat flow
through a homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit
temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to a surface.

manufacturer's specifications.
5. Connect chimney collar to tee-box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel connector
pipe. (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE). Connect each section so crimped end faces
downward and secure each section to each other using three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.
C. Wall Exit Into Masonry (Using Single Wall Pipe)
1. Before connecting these units to a masonry chimney, determine that masonry fireplace
wall pass-through connector thimble meets NFPA-211 Code and local building codes
and is a minimum of 18" from ceiling. If connector thimble does not meet these codes, t
pass-through connector must be modified. (See Figure 7.)
Figure 7
Connectors may pass through walls or partitions constructed of combustible material if
connector is:
(a) Either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-
through and is installed in accordance with conditions of listing.
(b) Selected or fabricated in accordance with conditions and clearances as stated in
NFPA-211 Code. Any unexposed metal that is used as part of a wall pass-through
system and is exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stainless steel or other
equivalent material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gases at
temperatures up to 1800oF.

Page 18
NOTE: In addition, a connector to a masonry chimney shall extend through wall to inner
face or liner but not beyond, and shall be firmly cemented to masonry.
EXCEPTION: A thimble may be used to facilitate removal of the chimney connector for
cleaning, in which case the thimble shall be permanently cemented in place with high-
temperature cement.
2. Once through-the-wall thimble codes are met, simply connect chimney collar to wall pass-
through connector using #24 ga. minimum, blued or black steel connector pipe as follows:
(a) Maintain 1/4" rise per foot (horizontal length) from appliance to chimney.
(b) Connect each section so crimped end faces downward or back toward unit.
(c) Secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.
(d) Use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten pipe to connector collar on heater.
D. Ceiling Exit-Close Clearance
1. Suspend a plumb bob from ceiling above unit so that weight is hanging in center of
flue exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob). Mark ceiling where
string is suspended to locate center of chimney hole.
2. After locating center of hole, install ceiling support box, chimney flashing and rain cap.
3. Now connect stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel
connector pipe. (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE.) Connect each section so crimped
end faces downward, and secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet
metal screws or rivets. Next, install an optional New Buck Corporation chimney
connector to flue exit of the heater or you may use “Ell” brackets to fasten the pipe to
stove. (See Figure 8. Page 19).
4. Install Single Wall Connector and chimney system per manufacturer’s written operating
instructions. See manufacturer's list of tested pipes in this manual.
