C. Negative Pressure

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of appliance and chimney

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the replace to operate properly. Causes for this

imbalance 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 HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks

• Recessed lighting

• Attic hatch opening

• Duct leaks

tion 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 of “sealed can” design; attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic

mounted ductwork and air handler joints and seams

taped or sealed.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

• Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot

• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.

To minimize the affects of negative air pressure the following must be considered:

• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the

side of the house towards prevailing winds during the heating season.

• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combus

5100-I ACT WOOD INSERT

D. Flue Draft Considerations

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 6.1 the chimney should:

• Be installed 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 affects of wind turbulence.

• Consider the appliance location to the oor and ceiling attic joists.

Exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees,

prevailing winds and nearby hills can inuence appliance performance. 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.

o be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.10 inch water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -.04 inch W.C. during a low burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

F. Inspect Appliance and Components

• Open the appliance and remove all the parts and

articles packed inside.

• Inspect all the parts and glass for shipping damage.

•

Contact your dealer if any irregularities are noticed.

• Removed all labels from the glass doors.

• Wipe clean all plated surfaces before rst re.

WARNING

Inspect appliance and components for damage. Damaged parts may impair safe operation.

• Do NOT install damaged components.

• Do NOT install incomplete components.

• Do NOT install substitute components.

Report damaged parts to dealer.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations.

E. Tools And Supplies Needed

Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.

Installation Considerations

A. Floor Protection USA & Canada

Thermal protection must be 1/2 inch (13mm) minimum

thickness (“k” value = 0.8) or equivalent material.

All oor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral ber boards, etc.). Any organic materi-

als (i.e., plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible

and must not be used. The oor protection specied includes

some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal

resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).

Calculating Alternate Floor Protection Material

Thermal Conductivity: k value

The k value indicates the amount of heat (in BTU’s) that will ow in 1 hour through 1 square foot of a uniform material 1 inch thick for each degree (F) of temperature difference from one side of the material to the other. The LOWER the k factor means less

heat is being conducted through the non-combustible material to

the combustible material beneath it. The k value of a material must be equal or smaller then the required k value to be accept-

able. (BTU) (inch) (foot2 (hour) (oF)

C. Hearth Extension

If the hearth extension is lower than the replace opening,

the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be

supported. Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit

can be ordered from your dealer. (See page 22).

Thermal Resistance: R value

The R value is a measure of a material’s resisteance 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.

Converting k to R:

Divide 1 by k and multiply the results times the thickness in inches of the material.

R = 1/k x inches of thickness

Converting R to k:

Divide the inches of thickness by R.

k = inches of thickness/R

Calculatons:

Example: Floor protection requires k value of 0.8 and / inch thick.

Alternative material has a k value of 0.6 and is / inch thick.

Divide 0.6 by .5 = k value of 0.80. This k value is smaller than

0.84 and therefore is acceptable.

5100-I ACT WOOD INSERT

A. Venting Components

Chimney Connector:

It is also known as ue pipe or stove pipe. It must be 6

inches (152mm) minimum diameter stainless steel connector pipe.

Chimney:

The chimney can be new or existing, masonry or prefabricated

and must meet the following minimum requirements as specied in Section 5B below.

B. Chimney Systems

Prefabricated Metal Chimney

• Must be a 6 inch (152mm) inside diameter of high

temperature chimney listed to UL 10 HT (100oF) or ULC S68.

• Must use components required by the manufacturer for

installation.

• Must maintain clearances required by the manufacturer

for installation.

• Refer to manufacturers instructions for installation

NOTE:

In Canada, installations into factory-built zero clearance

replaces are NOT allowed.

Inspections

Existing chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a

qualied professional prior to installation. The chimney must not have cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Hearth & Home recommends a NFI or CSIA certied professional or a technician, under the direction of a certied professional, conduct a Level II inspection per NFPA 11.

Larger Chimneys

It is recommended that chimneys with larger diameters

than 6 inches (15mm) be relined. An oversized ue can

affect draft and impair performance and will allow increased build-up of creosote.

Chimney Height / Rise and Run

This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch (152mm) chimney, 14 to 16 feet (428-488cm) high, measured

from the base of the appliance. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this conguration, the possibility of

performance problems exists.

Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea

level or when there are other factors that affect ue draft.

WARNING

Approved Masonry Chimney:

• Must meet minimum standards of NFPA 11.

• Must have at least 5/8” (16mm) reclay lining joined with

refractory cement. (Installations into a clay ue without

a stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects

performance, will cause the glass to darken and produce

excessive creosote).

• Cross-sectional area should be no more than 3 times the

cross-sectional area of the ue collar of the insert. (8 sq inch ue area x  inches = 8 square inches maximum

chimney area).

• Should be lined with a 6 inch (152mm) stainless steel

ue liner to improve performance and reduce creosote

build-up.

• No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.

1. Seal damper area of chimney around chimney connector, or seal insert against the face of the

replace.

2. Both methods must be removable and replaceable for cleaning and re-installation.

• When possible, install an airtight clean-out door to the

rear of the smoke shelf.

Fire Hazard

Inspection of Chimney:

• Chimney must be in good condition.

• Meets minimum standard of NFPA 11

• Factory-built chimney must be 6” (15mm) UL10 HT.
