About Us
Keystoker had its inception in 1946.
Two electrical engineers saw the need for a way to con ven i en tly burn anthracite coal,
which was plentiful, but heating with coal had a bad reputation of being dirty and
requiring maintenance several times a day . O ur en gineers developed an automatic
stoker unit equipped w ith a co al hopper that held enough fuel for several days. This
allowed the coal to be cleanly burned and without fr equent maintenance. T hey t h en
saw the need to make a hot water boiler specifically des ign ed to burn coal and built
them in multiple sizes t o m eet o ur cu st o m ers' needs.
As prices of energy co nt inued to escalate, Keystoker continued its research. Over 60
years of research has de veloped a patented feed-in sy stem , a patented flat grate, and
a patented thermal heat exchange, which has produced the highest efficiency
possible.
Keystoker --- Made in America with American Technology and utilizing American
resources is now know n internationally for its simplicity , quality, an d dependab ility, all
this and still an economical price.

Stove Placement
1. Safety inspection of a ven ting system should be performed before and after
installing your new stove. Procedures to follow are those recommended by
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or refer to local cod es or o rdinances.
2. Plan the vent system layout before installation to avoid possibility of accidental
contact with concealed wiring or plumbing inside walls.
3. Select a position on a solid le vel s u rface with direct access t o a chimney. On
non-masonry floors, use an approved fireproof floor protector under stove.
Maintain 12” clearance on sides of stove to combustibles. Maintain 6” clearance
from 4” pipe to combustible. Clearance from 6” black wall pass thru pipe is 0” to
combustibles. A 2” clearance on rear and 16” clearance on front of stove.
Clearance from corne rs of stove is 8”. See label on sto ve. Refer to Figure 1a &
1b.

Seal All Joint s : When it becomes necess ary to run exhaust pipe up the interior
wall of home, every joi nt m ust be sealed with a high temperat ure silicone or
equivalent. This will prevent fumes from escaping into home.
4* Draft Port: It may be necessary to clean draft port (Located inside exhaust
outlet of the Direct Vent Unit) every several weeks to keep the stove from tripping
out on safety reset. Removal of the Direct Vent side plate wi ll aide in cleaning.
Using brush (furnished with stove) remove ash pan, reach into 6” exhaust pipe, and
by using a swirling or circular motion, remove dust.
5* Tee: A tee should be used at this location. A tee will ease the cleanin g of th e
piping throughout the heating season.
Direct Vent Completion K it
Vent Unit will vary based on
Top or Bottom Vent Stoves

Assembly
1. Plumb hopper end of stove with level. Hopper end of stove must be vertical.
2. Mount hopper in place and fasten securely. Carefully, reach down into bottom
of inside hopper and bend flange of hopper into throat of stoker unit.
3. After determining location of stove, (if you are going through a frame wall) cut a
hole through exterior & interior walls slightly larger than the 6” stainless steel pipe.
Put stove into position t o det ermine stove pipe length needed to have at least 6”
of pipe extending past ex t erior wall.
4. Slide 6” W a ll Kit throug h opening with screened side facing outw ard.
5. Insert 4” pipe through Wall Kit and attach to Venter Unit piping on inside.
a. For TOP VENT: Attach to 4” Elbow
b. For BOTTOM VENT: Attach directly to straight 4” Pipe or Venter Unit
NOTE: It is not necessary to u se 6” stainless steel wall kit if 4” pipe is going through
a non-combustible wall, such as concrete or block. No barometric draft control
is required
6. On outside of home, place 4 ” stainless steel tee on exhau st pi pe. Place 4”
stainless steel rain cap o n t o p o f 4 ” tee. Secure with screws. Leave bottom of
stainless tee open.
7. Depending on location of exhaust venting to outdoors, varying draft and wind
conditions may cause occasional tripping of reset button, causing fire to go out.
8. Draft and air intake set t ings are preset at factory and it is u sually not necessary to
change for installation going straight out through the wall. It is still recommended
to check draft settings with draft gauge after starting fire.
9. If extra stove pipe must be add ed inside home to achieve n ec essary height to
go above outside gra de le v el, it may be necessary to adjust exhaust intake
shutter located on direct vent unit, to achieve proper draft set ting of -.02
The continuous running of exh aust f an is necessary to expel fumes from stove to
outside of home, elim inating the need for a chimney.
10. Timer MUST be mounted on the side of coal hopper or on rear of coal hopper.
DO NOT MOUNT TIMER ON STOVE BODY.
11. On all TOP VENT, DIRECT VENT models, the wire to exhaust motor may not be
allowed to come into contact with stove body. This would cause damage to
electrical wires.

12. Ensure all power fo r th i s unit is turned off. Locate thermostat in an area where
heat from stove can be freely reached. Mount plastic wall plate of thermostat .
Connect thermostat w i res t o screws on lower portion of w all pl at e. According to
instructions, run terminal Red & White thermostat wir es to Relay on stove and
connect wires to terminals marked T.T. (note: color coding of thermostat wires is
unimportant.) Be sure t o snap t h erm ostat securely onto w all plate.
13. Ensure all terminals are properly connected. Plug power cord into 115 volt
grounded wall outlet. Combustion blower should be running. Turn the thermostat
up to make the feed motor o perate and you are now ready to start a fire.
Fuel Type
1. Burn rice Anthracite coal only.
Danger risk of fire or explo si on. Do not burn garbage, gasoli n e, drain oil, or other
flammable liquids. Do not u se chemicals or fluids to start fi re.
