D. Flue Draft Considerations

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor- mance. As shown in Figure 6.1 on page 6 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 fi re.

Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

Consider the appliance location in order to avoid

oor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.

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

To be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10 inch W.C. during a high 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.

E. Venting Systems

The venting system consists of a chimney connector (also known as stove pipe) and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote fi re. To protect against the possibility of a house fi re, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.
