1. Product information

1.1 Function

Use exodraft model RSHT chimney fan is a chimney top mounted ventilator that is designed to provide

large ue gas volume capacities. It is intended for use with solid fuel but can also be used for non­solid fuel provided a safety system is part of the installation (refer to the manual: “RS for Gas & Oil
Applications”). The use of the RSHT chimney fan is not restricted to any type of chimney, because the
fan creates a negative pressure (below atmospheric) in the chimney.
Typical uses are: Controlling the draft for a residential solid fuel red boiler, replace, stove, BBQ, or
pizza oven.

Function The RSHT chimney fan is designed to be able to withstand the high temperatures associated with

wood burning and to minimize the creosote buildup in the chimney ue and on the chimney fan.
The axial vane construction provides a self-cleaning eect. This product is developed to prevent draft
problems by creating a mechanical draft in venting systems and thereby also increasing the capacity
and eciency of a venting system. Though the chimney fan is not limited to such use, it is perfect for
use with replaces, barbecues, pizza ovens and wood stoves.

Code compliance Installations must conform to requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Where required by

the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must also conform to the Standard for Draft Equip­ment and NFPA 211.
All electrical wiring must be in accordance with the requirements of authority having jurisdiction or,
in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA70.

1.2 Shipping

The packing list (attached to one of the packages) clearly lists all items in the shipment and each package has a label
showing the contents. Check the list against all materials on the job site for completeness.

NOTE

All single phase fans are shipped with a capacitor and junction box connected via conduit. The
capacitor is located INSIDE the junction box. Please do not discard.

1.3 Warranty

exodraft products are warranted for a period of two (2) years following the date of invoice. Replacement or repair will be
at exodraft’s discretion, provided factory inspection shows a defect in material or workmanship.

2-Year Factory Warranty

We promise the original user that we will replace or repair as we may elect, any part or parts of the new RSHT Chimney Fan
which are defective in material or workmanship without charge for parts and labor (not including labor for dismantling
and installation, freight, etc.) during the rst 2-years following the date of installation.

10-Year Corrosion Perforation Warranty

We promise the original user that we will replace or repair as we may elect, any part or parts of the RS Chimney Fan which
are perforated due to corrosion without charge for parts or labor (not including dismantling and installation, freight, etc.)
during the rst 10-years following the date of installation.

2.2 Planning ahead

1. Observe proper combustion air requirements.

2. Provide a rm support system for the chimney fan.

3. Determine the type of system involved.

4. Observe proper safety measures are taken to assure safe use of the wood burning appliances.

Combustion air requirements

Provisions for combustion air must be in accordance with applicable local codes.

Adequate fresh air must be provided for combustion; otherwise, improper operation and inadequate
venting of deadly ue gases may result.

Support system Prior to installation of the chimney fan, it must be assured the chimney can safely carry the weight of

the chimney fan.
A steel chimney should be well supported at the roof penetration point. If the chimney extends more
than 20’ above the roof, the chimney and the fan should be secured by wires attached on the chim­ney and on the roof at 2 to 3 dierent points.
Brick chimneys usually do not need any kind of support to carry the weight of the chimney fan.

System type Fireplaces and wood stoves used in residences normally operate in a relatively stable environment,

where no major pressure uctuations occur. However, speed adjustments and adjustment of air­intakes are required as the wood burns and new wood is added to the re.

Fireplaces used in restaurants are exposed to major pressure changes. Doors open, doors close,
kitchen exhaust fans pull out air, etc. Spillage can easily occur.

Wood-red pizza ovens and barbecues are normally installed in restaurant kitchens where kitchen ex­haust fans are operating. Consequently, the operator should pay attention to the fact that even with a
well balanced exhaust system, it will be necessary to adjust the fan speed in order to avoid spillage.
