Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR RESOLUTE ACCLAIM IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERA- TION AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC- TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIRE- MENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Before you begin an installation, review your plans to see that:

•Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.

•The floor protector is large enough and is con- structed properly to meet all requirements.

•You have all necessary permits from local author- ities.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap- proving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local and state codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of every Vermont Castings stove indicates that it has been tested to current UL and ULC standards, and gives the name of the testing laboratory. Clearance and installa- tion information is also printed on the label. Local au- thorities generally will accept the label as evidence that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and can be approved.

Codes vary in different areas, however. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.

For any unresolved questions about installation, refer to the National Fire Protection Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211–1988 Standard for Chimneys, Fire- places, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. In Canada, the equivalent publication is CSA CAN-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment. These standards are the basis for many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or your local building official may have a copy of these regulations.

IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE IN- STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, INCLUDING A CHIMNEY OR HOUSE FIRE. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY AND DO NOT ALLOW MAKESHIFT COM- PROMISES TO ENDANGER PROPERTY AND PER- SONAL SAFETY.

What Kind of Chimney to Use

Your Resolute Acclaim may be connected either to a sound masonry chimney that meets local codes, to a relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whatever kind you use, the chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.

If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be in- spected to ensure safe condition before the stove is in- stalled. Your local professional chimney sweep, building inspector, or fire department official will be able to make the inspection or to direct you to someone who can.

The chimney should extend at least 3’ (914 mm) above the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at least 2’ (610 mm) higher than any portion of a building within 10’ (3m). (Fig. 2)

For proper draft and good performance, any chimney used with a Resolute Acclaim should extend at least 16’ (5m) above the flue collar of the stove.

Masonry Chimneys

An inspection of the chimney must confirm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined chimney. The chimney also should be examined for cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. Repair any defects before the chimney is used with your stove.
