The 24-FC is an identical unit to the 24ACD, except it does not have a blower system. The 50-SHW16 (50-TRW16) is identical to the 50-SHW24 (50-TRW24), except it does not have a blower system.

NOTE: FLUE SYSTEMS AND FLUE PIPE ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH THE UNITS. THEY MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.

SECTION 1: FLUE SYSTEM

A. Existing Flue System

If you have chosen a freestanding unit, this stove is designed to connect to an existing flue system, such as masonry or pre-manufactured Class A Flue systems. If you have a masonry flue system, you should inspect the inner liner very carefully for cracks in the liner; if there is no liner in your chimney, we recommend you install a stainless steel liner or have one installed. If you have an existing pre-manufactured flue system, you should inspect the inner liner to ensure there is no buckling or warping and no cracks in the liner.

Whether you have a masonry or pre-manufactured flue system, you should clean the chimney before installing your new unit to the flue system. We strongly recommend you have a qualified chimney sweep clean and inspect your flue system. The sweep can spot problems you may unknowingly overlook, and in most cases will be able to make any necessary repairs or at least recommend qualified people to do so.

It is not permissible to connect this unit to a chimney that is servicing another unit.

B. Flue Size Needed

The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar of the unit. The stoves are equipped with a six-inch (6”) top or rear exhaust collar; therefore, the connector pipe should be six inches (6”) and never less in diameter than the flue collar on the stove. The area of the chimney liner must also be equal to or greater than the area of the flue collar on the stove. However, if the area of the flue is greater than the area of the flue collar, it should never be more than three times greater.

Example: The area of a six inch (6”) diameter collar is 28.87 sq. inches; therefore the connector pipe should be a six inch (6”) pipe and the chimney liner must be at least 28.87 sq. inches, but no greater than 84.8 sq. inches.

Note on Outside Air Hookup: You can use an outside air hookup with our catalytic stoves. We highly recommend it for homes built since the more air-tight construction standards went into effect. This involves connecting a metal pipe (usually three inches (3”) in diameter - check your stove - and the pipe can be flex or rigid) from the air inlet pipe located on the bottom rear of the stove through your floor or wall. The outside end of this pipe should be covered in some manner (i.e. with a screen) to keep it clear of foreign matter.

*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation. Call

(800-245-6489) and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.

C. Top or Rear Exhaust

This stove comes with an adaptable top or rear exhaust flue system. When you open the box you will notice the unit is shipped for a top exhaust application; however, if you need a rear exhaust application, unbolt the CA-22 cap from the rear of the unit. Then, bolt it in place covering the hole on top of the unit, and bolt the CA-20 six inch (6”) flue collar onto the rear of the unit using a 3/16” Allen head wrench, making sure all bolts are tight and the gasket is in place. Connector pipe should be 24-gauge steel and eighteen inches (18”) from the wall or ceiling, unless you are using double wall or shielded pipe. This will reduce the clearance to combustibles to six inches (6”).

D. Installation of a New Flue System

1.Masonry Flue: In the event that you plan to install a flue system by yourself or have a flue system installed, there are several avenues you can take. A masonry flue system is a popular and satisfactory system. If you are considering a masonry system, you should consult with your local building officials for the proper procedures in construction of a masonry chimney. We recommend you consult with and have your flue built by a licensed, bonded contractor.

Most masonry flues are placed against the outside wall and extend upward beside the house. The flue thimble is then inserted through the wall, making connection with the vertical flue and the stove flue pipe. Exercise extreme caution when drilling through the wall; you must maintain proper clearance between the connecting liner and any combustibles in the wall.

W e also recommend that you have a flue door located at least two feet (2’) below your flue thimble connection for easy access and clean-out. You should make this door as airtight as possible. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the chimney or flue system is safe and in good operating condition. The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident attributed to a unit connected to a faulty chimney or flue system.

2.Pre-Manufactured Flue System: Pre-Manufactured flue systems have become very popular, because this type system is fairly easy to install and when done correctly, it is very safe. There are many pre-manufactured flue systems on the market from which to choose. In making your choice be sure the system has a recognized label of approval such as U L, B.O.C.A. or I.C.B.O. -- any of these approvals will ensure the flue system is constructed of the proper materials and meets required safety standards.

There are two popular methods for installation of a pre-manufactured flue system. The first method, the most popular and least expensive, is through the ceiling and out the roof. This is the most direct route and creates a tremendous amount of draw due to having less pipe in the system, and is less expensive because insulated pipe is only needed from the ceiling and above. Single wall 24 gauge or thicker pipe is used from the unit to the ceiling.

The second method for installation of a pre-manufactured system is to go through the wall and up the side of your home or structure. This method is more expensive because more insulated pipe is required -- you must use insulated pipe through the wall and up the outside of your home. Whether you choose to go through the ceiling or through the wall, you must exercise extreme caution and maintain proper clearances to combustibles in either installation. Your flue pipe manufacturer furnishes a wall thimble or ceiling support box, and when these are installed properly the correct safety clearances will be met. If you choose a pre-manufactured flue system and you are not qualified or capable

of installing the system, you can consult your local dealer. In most cases he can recommend a contractor or sweep that can handle the installation. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the chimney (or flue system) is safe and in good operating condition. The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident attributed to a unit connected to a faulty chimney or flue system.

SECTION 2: FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION

A. Floor Protection

If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, there is no floor protection required or needed. If your floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum, you must place protection between the unit and the combustible material.

There are many stove floor and wallboards on the market. You must be very cautious in choosing the proper protection; always look for a UL listed product. After examining the area in which you plan to locate your unit and determining it requires a board, select the proper size board needed. The approved protector board should be large enough to provide a minimum of eight inches (8”) behind the stove, with sixteen inches (16”) in the front or the side where the door is located and eight inches (8”) on either side of the stove. These units require a minimum of 36” x 48” floor protection.

B. Wall Protection

These stoves can be placed within thirty inches (30”) of a combustible wall such as paneling, wallpaper or drywall, unless your local codes state otherwise. If you need to place your unit closer to a combustible wall, you will need UL listed wall protection.

There are many manufacturers, and most boards will require a one inch (1”) air space between the board and the wall, which reduces your clearance by two-thirds (2/3). You can then place your unit within twelve inches (12”) of a combustible surface. In addition, the wallboard only needs to be six inches (6”) higher than the top of the unit. After placing the unit twelve inches (12”) from a combustible, the flue pipe will be closer than eighteen inches (18”) to the combustible. This will require you to use double wall or shielded pipe that will allow the flue pipe to come within six inches (6”) of a combustible.

Always follow the pipe and board manufacturer’s directions, and contact us if you have any questions.

C. Heat Shields

1.MODEL 24-FC, 50-SHW16 or 50-TRW16

The AC-FHS(B) side and rear heat shield attaches to the rear of the unit and wraps

around the sides to allow for six inches (6”) clearance to a combustible from the rear of the unit or from each corner if placed cater-cornered. You will still need the thirty inches (30”) clearance in a parallel or corner installation, as the shield does not cover the complete side of the stove.

NOTE: You must use the top vent option of your unit when using this heat shield.

2.MODEL 24-ACD, 50-SHW24 or 50-TRW24

The AC-AHS/SH-HS22 side and rear heat shield is a two piece item which attaches

to the rear of the stove and wraps around the sides to allow for six inches (6”) clearance to a combustible from the rear of the unit, or from each corner if placed cater-cornered.

You will still need the thirty-inch (30”) clearance on the sides, as the shield does not cover the entire side of the stove.

NOTE: You must use the top vent option of your unit when using this heat shield.

SECTION 3: FREESTANDING PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

A. Placement

Please take caution getting the stove into your home. All of these stoves are well constructed, which makes them rather heavy. To lighten the unit and make for easier handling, you can remove the door and the firebrick (after making a diagram of the firebrick placement) – we also recommend using a handcart. As a rule, three or four adults can handle any of these stoves. Never try handling any of these products without help! After the unit has been placed in position, replace the brick and door. Install the flue collar, then the spring handles on the door and the by-pass slide damper, and attach any optional equipment.

B. Chimney Connector Pipe

The black connector pipe must be six inches (6”) in diameter (24 gauge steel pipe). Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel -- they cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. Do not use chimney connector pipe (single wall) as a chimney; you must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those listed in this manual (See Section 1). A chimney connector must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. This allows creosote to run into the stove and not onto the outside of the stove. As a safety precaution, all joints should be sealed with high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3) and secured with three sheet metal screws. For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as short as possible and horizontal lengths of chimney connector pipe should have an upward slope from the stove of ¼ inch per foot. Maintain eighteen inches (18”) of clearance between the chimney connector and the wall and ceiling unless a wall protection system is installed. You can also use double wall or shielded pipe.

SECTION 4: ACCESSORY ITEMS

There are several accessory items available for your stove. It is suggested that you install any accessory items before proceeding to the next section; however, the accessories are designed to be Add-On items at any time. If you purchase accessories after you have bought your unit, simply let the stove cool down and add them as follows.

AC-102(BN)/SH-102 Brass (or Nickel) Lip & Ash Apron Trim

There are three (3) pieces of J-Channel trim in this kit, which snap onto the edges of the stove (the top front edges and the ash apron front edge). To remove the protective cover, start at one end and peel off the film. The pieces are precut to fit the edges – simply match the piece with the proper edge. Center the J-Channel on the edge, and with the short side of the channel down, force the underside of the channel over the edge of the metal. If the J-Channel is too tight for starting by hand you can tap it into place with a wooden block or rubber hammer. If the J-Channel is too loose and will not stay in place lay the long side down on a flat surface and bend (crimp) the short side slightly on each end and in the center. Follow this procedure with each piece.
