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, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference 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 a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately
•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
•During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately
•Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
WARNING

•Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.
•Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
