Duct Work Installation
We strongly recommend that the hot air ductwork be installed by a home heating specialist. If doing the
installation yourself, before you decide which installation will best suit your needs, consult a qualied heating
technician and follow his recommendations as to the safest and most efcient method of installation.
This furnace can be installed in three ways, as a stand alone unit, parallel, and in series with an existing furnace.
SUPPLY AIR (HOT AIR) PLENUM
The warm-air supply duct shall be constructed of metal in accordance with NFPA 90B, 2-1.1. The plenums installed
to the furnace shall be constructed of metal in accordance with NFPA 90B, 2-1.3.
When installing this furnace the hot air plenum is to have a minimum height of 24” (610mm) if the top of the rst
vertical section is not ush with the top of the rst horizontal section of ductwork. If the top of the plenum is ush
with the top of the rst horizontal section of ductwork then the minium height is 15” (381mm).
RETURN AIR (FRESH AIR)
The return (fresh) air intake on the furnace is on the rear of the unit. The ductwork must be mechanically
attached to the unit or blower kit box with sheet metal screws to ensure a proper operation.

STAND ALONE INSTALLATION
If installing this furnace as a stand alone unit, ensure all local codes and all instructions in this manual are followed,
including clearance to combustibles, oor protector specications and safety warnings.
PARALLEL FURNACE INSTALLATION
To install the new furnace in parallel with an existing furnace follow the instructions for series installation with a
few additional requirements listed below.
• The return air will duct directly to the return of the new furnace, and not be pulling through any other
furnace.
• The output of the existing furnace must be equal to or greater than this wood furnace.
• If installing in a parallel conguration the ductwork may need adjustments so as to maintain the static
pressure between 0.2” W.C. And 0.05” W.C.
• A back ow damper must be installed in the supply duct work of the new furnace, to ensure that air does
not circulate back through the wood furnace.
• Some installation congurations may require dampers to be installed in the supply duct work of both
furnaces.

ASSEMBLY OF FURNACE
Your furnace requires the following items to be assembled or installed by the service person:
Blowers and Blower Controls
Electrical Connections
1. Remove all parts from inside the furnace and inspect for damage, including the rebrick as some breakage
could occur during shipment.
2. Install the thermodisc on rear of furnace cabinet with the two screws provided. Mount the conduit assembly
from the junction box to the thermostat bracket. Crimp the two female terminals to each of the wire leads.
Plug the wires to the thermodisc. NOTE: It does not matter which of the two wires plugs to which terminal on
the thermodisc.
3. Remove blowers from cartons. Remove junction box cover. Attach clip nuts as in gure shown. Install
blower(s) and gasket(s with 1/4"-20 x 3/4" bolts as shown.
4. Wire right side blower rst (See wiring diagram) and replace cover on junction box on blower.
5. Wire left blower same as above and replace cover.
6. Check operation of shaker grates with grate handle before operating furnace.

15
Electrical Installation
All electrical connections should be done by a qualied electrician
It is recommended to connect the furnace to its own 15 amp 120 Volt circuit from the house power supply
105°C
NOTE:Wire leads from the distribution blower are usually
BOTH BLACK. Makes no difference which leads from the
motor(s) connects to the corresponding leads coming out of
the conduit.

16
Chimney Installation
CHIMNEY
Your wood furnace may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the
exhaust. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore
it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s
specications.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specications of the
National Building Code. It must be lined with re clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with re cement.
(Round ues are the most efcient).
The interior diameter of the chimney ue must be identical to the furnace smoke exhaust. A ue which is too
small may cause draft problems, while a large ue favors rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-up of
creosote and the risk of chimney res. Note that it is the chimney and not the furnace which creates the draft
effect; your furnace’s performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
• It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
• The exterior portion should be double or triple wall pipe to ensure proper draft.
• The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m) distance by a
height of 2’ (0.6m).
• Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. The interior chimney will be
hotter than an exterior chimney that is being cooled by the ambient air outside the house. Therefore the gas
which circulates will cool slower, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney res.
• The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chimney.
• Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to insure that it is not
obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when used regularly.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate draft may cause back pufng into
the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbours or in a valley which may
cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.

17
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the furnace is installed and operated. When connecting the
furnace through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed as explained in the
“Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs” Section.

18
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick
and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner,
construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform
to ASTM C315 (Standard Specication for Clay Fire Linings)
or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick
masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The
clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to
the inner surface of the chimney ue liner but not past the
inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place
to the chimney ue liner.
Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed,
factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation
of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with a
minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of
the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal
supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides,
to maintain the 9” (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening
supports to chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney
liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end
of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be ush with the inside
of the masonry chimney ue, and sealed with a non-water
soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to
the brick masonry penetration.
Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gauge (.024” [.61 mm])
6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24
gauge ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of
1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through. There shall
be a minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing
berglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble
to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover
its opening with a 24-gauge minimum sheet metal support.
Maintain the 6” (152.4 mm) space. There should also be a
support sized to t and hold the metal chimney connector.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal
chimney connector do not penetrate chimney ue liner.
Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney
section at least 12” (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1” (25.4
mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm]
larger than the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this
as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single wall steel
chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric with
and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by
way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney
section. Cover opening with and support chimney section
on both sides with 24 gauge minimum sheet metal supports.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney ue
do not penetrate ue liner.
NOTES:
Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the
wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner ue liner face. A chimney connector
shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a oor, or ceiling.

19
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the furnace outlet. If this is not the case,
we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft.
The furnace pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It
is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your connector should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces
down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. Seal the joints with furnace
cement.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with
the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal run of furnace pipe must
conform to NFPA 211. You may contact NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition
of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good draft, the total length of the furnace pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m).
(Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much
longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is not recommended. With a controlled combustion wood furnaces
the draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the furnace and not at the exhaust.

FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You
must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through
and “T” section package, restops (where needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required
height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.
