Install Guide
A. Design and Installation Considerations
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re ocials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
installation inspection, and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Type of chimney connector to be used
-Single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless
steel, or
-Double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter,
stainless steel
• Consult page 28 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney
ue servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution
duct or system.
May allow ue gases to enter the house.
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure dierence needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully,
all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through
the chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
• During the burn, the chimney draft (static
pressure) should be approximately -0.07 inch
water column (W.C.)
• Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top
of the appliance after one hour of operation.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of
the appliance system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.

EXPEDITION II INSERT
C. Negative Pressure
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage
of combustion fumes, soot and
carbon monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly
for safety.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be
strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes 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 the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
-Recessed lighting
-Attic hatch
-Duct leaks
To minimize the eects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
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 a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seams taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided
WARNING
D. Tools And Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure the following tools
and building supplies are available:
• Reciprocating saw
• Framing material
• Pliers
• High temp caulking material
• Hammer
• Gloves
• Phillips screwdriver
• Framing square
• Flat blade screwdriver
• Electric drill and bits
• Plumb line
• Safety glasses
• Level
• Tape measure
• Misc. screws and nails
• 7/16 socket or wrench
• 1/2-3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self-drilling screws
E. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Remove appliance and components from packaging
and inspect for damage.
• Vent system components and doors are shipped in
separate packages.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
• Read all the instructions before starting the installation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the installation
to ensure maximum safety and benet.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
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.
