7. Clearance of the HEATFLOW S5 to combustible material
WARNING
The HEATFLOW S5 can only be assembled with a single wall pipe,refer to the Annex for double
wall pipe retrofit.
The HEATFLOW S5 cannot be assembled with a Heat shield (AC02762), lowered ceiling, inside
an alcove or in a mobile home.
The following clearances for stoves with the HEAFLOW S5 must be respected, failure to do so may result in
damage to the stove, air ducts, blower and may also cause a fire.
The HEATFLOW S5 CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN REDUCED CLEARANCES
It is absolutely essential to place the stove to gain clearance for combustible material from the jacket.
The following clearances for the stoves with the HEAFLOW S5 must be respected

8. Blower installation
WARNING
The blower must be positioned in a way that the shaft of the motor is not pointing downward.
There must be openings around the blower to ventilate the motor.
DO NOT COMPLETELY ENCLOSE THE
BLOWER BETWEEN JOISTS.
The blower should be installed in a location with easy access for maintenance purposes and to
reduce noise.

9. Electrical wiring
WARNING
The installation of the Heatflow S5 requires a power outlet (120V). The wiring must be done in
accordance with the local legislation/norms and with the national building code.
The wiring must be done by a certified electrician only.
The Heatflow S5 must be wired on a 120V circuit, 15 amps.
WARNING: Special attention must be taken to the passage of wires and should be shielded from
radiation. WIRES SHOULD NEVER BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM (Stove,
Heatflow S5 jacket, air conduit, pipe, etc …)
Connect the blower to the control sub-assembly (G) with a 14/2 wire and wire splices. The following
schematic shows how:

10. Conduit configuration & assembly instructions
WARNING
WARNING : THE USE OF INSULATED DUCT IS PROHIBITED
The configuration of the ductwork system will have a direct effect on the capacity of the
blower to distribute the air efficiently.
The HEATFLOW S5 must never be connected to the existing ductwork system of a furnace. To
use an existing ductwork system, the furnace must be completely be removed. The HEATFLOW
S5 must be the only heating source connected to the ductwork.
Only use rigid galvanised ductwork and HVAC foil tape to seal them
The use of an airflow damper or damper blade is highly recommended in each conduit leading to an air
outlet to balance the airflow in the system.
The ductwork should always be fixed to reduce vibration noise.
The ductwork should always have a positive slope toward air outlet for good gravity airflow.
The air registers should always be in metal.
Fix each section of ductwork with at least 3 self drilling screws.
Reducing deviations in the system will result in a better airflow at air outlets.

Instruction to balance the airflow at the different air outlets:
1. The diameter of the main conduit should be reduced to 5” (127mm) after 20ft(6.1m) and/or
reduced to 1in every 2 air outlets.
2. After the system is completely installed, put the control sub-assembly to “M” to start blower
(refer to Section 9. Operating instructions).
3. Open all dampers located in ductwork leading to an air outlet.
4. Locate the outlet with the strongest airflow (it should be the first outlet from the blower).
5. Close the outlet damper slightly and verify the airflow at each air outlet to compare their
speed. If the airflow of the strongest is still too strong, repeat this step.
6. Proceed progressively with each damper by closing them slightly and balancing each
airflow at air outlet. If at a last air outlet, it is impossible to keep an airflow consistent with
the first air outlets, it might be an indicator that the section of the ductwork should be
reduced.
7. The damper of the furthest air outlet from the stove should be open.

11. Operating instructions
WARNING
NEVER BLOCK ANY HOLES/LOUVERS ON THE HEATFLOW S5 METAL JACKET. FAILURE TO
DO SO COULD RESULT IN FIRE, INJURY, DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, BLOWER OR AIR
DUCTWORK SYSTEM, etc..
DO NOT MODIFY THE SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN FIRE, INJURY,
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE, BLOWER OR AIR DUCTWORK SYSTEM, etc..
Always put the system to “OFF” while reloading the stove with wood.
IMPORTANT : If the stove is new, it is normal to have an odor of smoke when lighting it for
the first time. This intitial fire should always be done before connecting the air ductwork
system to the HEATFLOW S5 in order to prevent the odor of smoke being dispersed to
all rooms.
1. Plug the control sub-assembly into an electrical outlet.
2. Select the desired mode with the 3 position switch located on the top of the control box behind the
HEATFLOW S5.
A- « AUTO MODE » in this position, the blower will
start and stop automatically with the temperature of
the stove.
O- « OFF MODE » in this position, the blower is
stopped immediately. It is recommended to put the
system in this mode when reloading the stove
with wood.
M- « MANUAL MODE » in this position, the blower
will always be energized.
3. Adjust the blower speed with the rheostat to optimise comfort at air outlet
a. Higher blower speed Lower temperature at air outlet
b. Lower blower speed Higher temperature at air outlet
