D. Flue Draft Considerations

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor- mance. As shown in Figure 6.1 the chimney should:

•Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire.

•Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence.

•Consider the appliance location to the floor and ceil- ing attic joists.

Exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence appliance performance. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem.

To be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.10 inch water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -.04 inch W.C. during a low burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations.
