507/207101-802G
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, tainless steel
• Consult page 28 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
appliance system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure di󰀨erence 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
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
• During the burn, the chimney draft (static pressure)
should be approximately -0.07 inch water column (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.
22 Getting Started
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re o󰀩cials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
installation inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
!
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney
ue servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution
duct or system.
May allow ue gases to enter the house.
WARNING
!
C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available
for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest 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 e󰀨ects 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
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage
of combustion fumes, soot and
carbon monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.

Material
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.
Fire Risk.
• Comply with all minimum clearances to
combustibles as specied.
• Failure to comply may cause house re.

A. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect performance. As shown in Figure 4.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during
lighting and die down of the re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the a󰀨ects 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.

F. Chimney Height / Rise and Run
This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (4.27-4.87m) high, (includes
appliance height) measured from the base of the appliance.
The further your stack height or diameter varies from
this conguration, the greater the likelihood it may a󰀨ect
performance.
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to
use o󰀨sets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea
level or when there are other factors that a󰀨ect ue draft.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to
the owner’s information manual provided with this appliance.
For assistance or additional information consult a qualied
installer, service agency or your dealer.
G. Securing Chimney Components
