Vermont Casting 2310 Installation Procedures Setting Up the Stove, Chimney Connector Dampers

Page 13

Horizontal runs of chimney connectors should slope upward 1/4” per foot going from the stove toward the chimney. The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3 feet. The total length of chimney connector should be no longer than 8 feet to prevent the cooling of flue gases.

In cathedral ceiling installations, a prefabricated chimney should be brought down to within 8 feet of the stove. The whole chimney connector should be exposed and accessible for inspection and cleaning. Never pass a chimney connector through a combustible

ceiling.

Installation Procedures

Setting Up the Stove

Our stoves are heavy and require at least two people to move and set them up. To make the job a bit easier, you may lift off the loading doors and remove the grid- dle, grates, and ashpan. Do not try to move the stove alone as the stove can be damaged by mishandling.

Place the stove close to its final position before install- ing the stove legs.

The griddle has not been painted in order to allow cooking directly on its surface. In order to protect the surface from rust during shipping, a coating of oil has been applied. Be sure to wash the griddle thoroughly with soap and water. As the stove is used, the griddle will gradually darken to match the color of the stove.

Your Vigilant Coal Stove arrives completely assembled except for the installation of the legs and handle holder, and the assembly of the removable handle. The only tool needed are a 9/16” wrench, used to tighten the leg bolts.

So that you can easily secure the first section of chim- ney connector pipe to the stove, three holes have been drilled in the flue collar and three sheetmetal screws are included in the hardware package.

If you have ordered any accessories such as heat shields, they will come with their own installation

Chimney Connector Dampers

Because of the draft requirements of our stoves, we do not recommend the use of an in-flue damper. Not only is this an unnecessary restriction in the flue, but it is an additional surface directly in the path of the flue gases upon which deposits can form, creating a potential haz- ard. Combustion air entering your Vigilant Coal stove is controlled effectively by the thermostat, so no flue damper is required.

The Chimney Connector

Assembly

•Assemble the chimney connector beginning at the flue collar of the stove, keeping the crimped ends towards the stove. Using the holes in the flue collar as guides, drill 1/8” holes in the bottom of the first section of chimney connector, and secure it to the flue collar with #10 x 1/2” sheetmetal screws.

•Align the seams of the individual sections. Secure each joint between sections of chimney connector, including telescoping joints, with at least three sheet- metal screws.

•Secure the chimney connector to the chimney. In- structions for various installations follow.

•Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from nearby combustible material.

Your dealer may offer a variety of specialty pipe pieces to simplify the installation, including slip pipes and thimble sleeves that can be used to form telescoping joints between sections of chimney connector. Tele- scoping joints may eliminate the need to cut individual

sections of connector.

accessories.

The Removable Handle

The removable handle is inserted into the front door stub or the damper handle stub when you want to open or close the doors, or change the position of the damp- er. The handle is removed when not being used so it will not get hot, and stored in the handle holder installed on one of the front legs.

To assemble the handle, pass the long threaded screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright metal

insert. Tighten until snug; do not overtighten.
