Locating The Room Heater

L

As A Location Is Selected, Keep The Following In Mind

Keep the chimney connection as short as possible.
The heater must have its own chimney ue. Do not
connect any other appliance to the same ue. If
there is no chimney where you wish to place the
heater, you can use a UL Listed Type 103 HT, Solid
Fuel, Factory Built Chimney.

Place the heater on a manufactured oor protector
that conforms to UL 1618, that provides at minimum
type 1 ember protection. The oor protector should
be under the stove, 16” beyond the front and 8”
beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash
removal opening. Have the oor protector with the
specied dimensions.

J

H

Check Figures 2, 3, & 4. You should have at least
the clearances shown from the heater and the
connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have
a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater, you
can place the heater as close as you wish to the
wall. If the wall is only faced with brick or stone, treat
it as a combustible wall. You may consult your local
regulatory authority before reducing clearances
specied in these instructions.

The oor protector must extend under the product
and two (2) inches on either side of the chimney
connector.

CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Take into account the chimney’s location to insure
it is not too close to neighbours or in a valley which
may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions. Your
chimney connector and chimney must have the
same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not
the case, we recommend you contact your dealer
in order to insure there will be no problem with the
draft .

The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or
cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or

0.53mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.

Two basic types of chimneys are approved for use
with solid fuel. Factory-built and masonry. Factory­built chimney must comply with UL standard in the US
and ULC standards for Canada.

Do not expect your stove or furnace to create
draft. Draft is not a function of the appliance. Draft
is purely a function of the chimney. Modern stoves
and furnaces are much more air-tight and efcient
than those of the past, and, therefore, require
greater draft. A minimum of .05" measured in water
column (gauges to measure chimney draft are
readily available at stove shops and are economical
to purchase or rent) is required for proper drafting
to prevent back-pufng, smoke spillage, and to
maximize performance.

Chimneys perform two functions - one of which
is apparent: The chimney provides a means for
exhausting smoke and ue gases resulting from
combustion of the fuel. Secondarily, though, the
chimney provides "Draft" which allows oxygen to
be continuously introduced into the appliance, so
that proper combustion is possible. As of April 1,
1987, all wood heaters and furnaces manufactured
by 6"(152mm) chimney that meets the "Type HT"
requirement and complies with UL 103(2100°F,
1149°C) or ULC S629(650°C) (when a factory built
chimney is used).

A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic,
roof space, closet, oor, ceiling, or similar concealed
space. Where passage through a wall or partition
of combustible construction is desired, the installation
must conform with NFPA 211.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may damage. Inadequate
draft may cause backpufng into the room and
‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft will
cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft.

WARNING: Do not connect this unit to a chimney
ue serving another appliance.
