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
B. Draft
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.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
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
D. Tools And Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure the following tools
andbuildingsuppliesareavailable:
Reciprocating saw Framing material
Pliers Hightempcaulkingmaterial
Hammer Gloves
Phillips screwdriver Framing square
Flat blade screwdriver Electric drill and bits
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Tapemeasure
Misc. screws and nails
1/2-3/4in.length,#6or#8self-drillingscrews
E. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Removeapplianceandcomponentsfrompackagingand
inspect for damage.
• Vent system components and doors are shipped in
separate packages.
• Reporttoyourdealeranypartsdamagedinshipment.
• Readalltheinstructionsbeforestartingtheinstallation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the
installationtoensuremaximumsafetyandbenet.

C. Alternate Floor Protection Calculation
Material
Thermal Conductivity: k value
Thekvalueindicatestheamountofheat(inBTU’s)thatwillowin1hourthrough
1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick for each degree (F) of temperature
difference from one side of the material to the other.
The LOWER the k factor means less heat is being conducted through the
non-combustible material to the combustible material beneath it.
Thekvalueofamaterialmustbeequalorsmallerthentherequiredkvalueto
be acceptable.
(BTU)(inch)
(foot2(hour) (oF)
Thermal Resistance: R value
TheRvalueisameasureofamaterial’sresistancetoheattransfer.
R value is convenient when more than one material is used since you can
add the R values together, whereas you can not do this for k value.
TheHIGHERtheRfactormeanslessheatisbeingconductedthroughthe
non-combustible material to the combustible material beneath it.
TheRvalueofamaterialmustbeequalorlargerthentherequiredRvalue
to be acceptable.
Conversion Procedure
1.ConvertspecicationtoR-value
a. R-value given - no conversion needed
 b.k-factorisgivenwitharequiredthickness(T)ininches.[R=1/kX

E.ChimneyTerminationRequirements
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
and at least 2 feet (61cm) above any portion of the
roof within 10 feet (305cm).
 • 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.
