Install Guide
2 Getting Started
A . Design and Installation Considerations
Beforeinstalling,determinethefollowing:
• Typeofchimneyconnectortobeused
· singlewall,6inch(152mm)diameter,stainlesssteel,or
·doublewall,6inch(152mm)diameter,stainlesssteel
• Consultpage28forclearancestocombustibles
• Poweroutletlocatedclosebyforoptionalblower
Draftisthepressuredifferenceneededtoventappliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerationsforsuccessfuldraftinclude:
• Preventingnegativepressure
• Locationofapplianceandchimney
T obesurethatyourapplianceburnsproperly:
• Duringalowburn,thechimneydraft(staticpressure)should
beapproximately-.04inchwatercolumn(W.C.)
• Duringahighburnthechimneydraftshouldbeapproximately
-.10inch(W.C.)
• MeasuretheW.Cat6inches(152mm)abovethetopofthe
applianceafteronehourofoperationateachburnsetting.
B. Draft
Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re ofcials or
authoritieshavingjurisdictionaboutrestrictions,installation
inspection, and permits.

C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
ablefortheappliancetooperateproperly. Itcanbestron-
gestinlowerlevelsofthehouse.
Causesinclude:
• Exhaustfans(kitchen,bath,etc.)
• Rangehoods
• Combustionairrequirementsforfurnaces,waterheaters
andothercombustionappliances
• Clothesdryers
• Locationofreturn-airventstofurnaceorairconditioning
• ImbalancesoftheHVACairhandlingsystem
• Upperlevelairleakssuchas:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
Tominimizetheeffectsofnegativeairpressure:
• Installtheoutsideairkitwiththeintakefacingprevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensureadequateoutdoorairforallcombustionappliances
andexhaustequipment
• Ensurefurnaceandairconditioningreturnventsarenot
locatedintheimmediatevicinityoftheappliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessedlightingshouldbea“sealedcan”design
• Attichatchesweatherstrippedorsealed
• Atticmountedductworkandairhandlerjointsandseams
taped or sealed
• Basementinstallationsshouldbeavoided
WARNING
• Negativepressurecancausespillageofcom-
bustionfumes,sootandcarbonmonoxide.
• Applianceneedstodraftproperlyforsafety.

Followmanufacturer’sinstructionsforclearance,securing
ashingandterminatingthechimney.
•MusthaveanapprovedandListedcap
•Mustnotbelocatedwhereitwillbecomepluggedby
snow or other material
 • Mustterminateatleast3feet(91cm)abovetheroof

 • Mustbelocatedawayfromtreesorotherstructures
D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 10.1thechimneyshould:
 • Installthroughthewarmspaceenclosedbythebuild-
ingenvelope.Thishelpstoproducemoredraft,espe-
ciallyduringlightinganddiedownofthere.
 • Penetratethehighestpartoftheroof.Thisminimizes
theaffectsofwindturbulenceanddowndrafts.
 • Considertheappliancelocationinordertoavoidoor
and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
 • Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures,unevenrooflinesandotherobstructions.
Yourlocaldealeristheexpertinyourgeographicareaand
canusuallymakesuggestionsordiscoversolutionsthatwill
easilycorrectyourueproblem.
NOTICE:
• Chimneyperformancemayvary.
• Trees,buildings,rooflinesandwindconditionsaffect
performance.
• Chimneyheightmayneedadjustmentifsmokingor
