INSTALLATION
Installation Overview
When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation.
1.Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the home.
2.Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the path of least resistance while it is still hot.
3.Exhaust Location – The engine which drives a wood stove is the chimney system, so it is important to consider precisely how the chimney system will be integrated into the stove installation. Ideally, a wood stove chimney will run completely vertical from the flue collar of the unit all the way to the termination point above the roof line. Keeping the entire chimney system inside the heated envelope of the home will ensure a strong, easy to initiate draft in the chimney. Although exterior chimney systems often function properly, they are more likely to suffer from cold down drafts at start up or provide weak draft to the unit. Also, consider the cross sectional area of the chimney; although existing masonry chimneys can often be used, a large external masonry chimney will result in a unit that is difficult or impossible to operate properly. In that case, an insulated chimney liner will often be required to supply the necessary draft.
4.Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to reframe any sections of the wall or ceiling to accommodate the wall thimble or ceiling box.
WARNING
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•Do Not Over fire – If any external part starts to glow, you are over firing. Reduce intake air supply. Over firing will void your warranty.
•Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified. Failure to comply may result in a house fire.
•Tested and approved for cordwood only. Burning any other fuel will void your warranty.

INSTALLATION
Venting Introduction
This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney system pulls air through the stove. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make shift compromises when installing the venting system. England’s Stove Works is not responsible for any damage incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
Be certain that all aspects of the venting system are installed to the venting manufacturer’s instructions, particularly the required clearances to combustibles. Also, be certain to use an attic radiation shield to prevent insulation from contacting a chimney which passes through an attic.
The chimney system is the “engine” which drives a wood stove, so it is imperative for proper unit function that the venting system be installed exactly as described in the following section.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our Technical Support line (800 245 6489) is available.
Contact your local code official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes, and if you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we strongly recommend contacting a local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
Venting Guidelines
•ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and clearances included with your venting system.
•DO NOT connect this wood stove to a chimney flue which also serves another appliance.
•DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
•USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling.
•INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint.
•AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance.
•INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly ash and other restrictions.
•CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this manual.
•ADHERE to the 10 3 2 rule regarding chimney terminations.
•INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down to prevent creosote leakage. Follow double wall chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper pipe installation.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.

INSTALLATION
Additional Venting Information
•Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one manufacturer and a thimble from another).
•We require a minimum chimney height of 15.0 ft. Chimney systems shorter than this may not create the amount of draft which is required to operate this wood burning unit.
•Do not use makeshift compromises when installing the venting system; have existing chimney systems inspected before use and be certain all new chimney systems are installed to the manufacturer’s specifications and with only UL listed components.
•Prefabricated venting systems used for this stove must be listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL 103HT (US).
•Never install a draft inducer or any other system which increases the natural draft of the chimney; similarly, do not install a barometric or stovepipe damper with this unit.
•Never use single wall or double chimney connector as a chimney system; never pass either type of chimney connector through a combustible wall without carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions and those listed in the following page on Wall Pass Throughs. NEVER pass chimney connector through an attic, floor, closet or roof.
•Only use 24 gauge MSG black single wall chimney connector or UL Listed double wall chimney connector.
Single Wall Chimney Connector Installation
The male end of single wall chimney connector is installed facing down so that any liquid creosote in the flue will run into the unit instead of onto the outside of the pipe (the natural draft in the chimney system will prevent smoke leakage at the joints).
Flue Gas Direction
Crimped or male end of single wall chimney connector must face down.
Fasten each single wall chimney connector joint with three sheet metal screws.
WARNING
•INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
•HOT! Do not touch! Severe burns or clothing ignition may result.
•Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation.
