INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new woodstove. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Be
aware that local Codes and Regulations
may override some items in this manual.
Check with your local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Hampton Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your stove fl ue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-confi rm the clearance
from the stove to combustibles to insure that
they are within the prescribed limits.
5) This woodstove must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or
a code approved masonry chimney with a
fl ue liner.
6) Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of
your woodstove is governed to a very large
part by the chimney system. Too short a
chimney can cause diffi cult start-up, dirty
glass, backsmoking when door is open, and
even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney
may prompt excessive draft which can result
in very short burn times and excessive heat
output. The use of an inexpensive fl ue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" (152mm) fl ue outlet on the
stove. The chimney must be listed as suitable for use with solid fuels. For other types
of chimneys check with your local building
code offi cials. Do not confuse a chimney
with a type “B” Venting System used for gas
appliances as suitable for a wood burning
appliance (refer to the Mobile Home installations section).
7) Mark the location of the legs on the fl oor,
then move the stove aside and mark the
position of the fl oor protector.
8) The fl oor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 18" (457mm)
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)
to the sides and rear of the unit. Some areas
may require a larger size fl oor protector.
Refer to the Mobile Home Installation section for outside air installation instructions
and see your local inspector.
NOTE: In Canada, fl oor protection must extend 18" (450mm) to the front and 8" (200mm)
to each side and back of the stove.
9) When the fl oor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the fl ue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) In seismically active areas, we recommend
that your unit is secured to the fl oor by using
the bolt down holes inside the legs (the same
ones used in Mobile Home installations).
11) For residential installations using 6"
(152mm) "C" Vent (single wall) the chimney
connector must be at least 24 gauge steel.
Do not use galvanized pipe (refer to the
Mobile Home installation section).
12) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
13) A chimney connector cannot pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a fl oor, ceiling, wall
or partition of combustible construction.
In Canada, if passage through a wall, or
partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for SolidFuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
14) Your Hampton Woodstove is not to be connected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
