England's Stove Works 50-SHW25, 50-TRW25, 24-ICD Safety Notice, Section I Flue System

SAFETY NOTICE:

IF THIS UNIT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS CONCERNING RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTIONS IN YOUR AREA.

SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM

CAUTION: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings. Check local codes in your area.

A. Existing Flue System

This is a freestanding unit and is designed to connect to an existing flue system, such as masonry or a pre-manufactured Class A flue system. If you have a masonry system, the inner liner should be inspected very carefully for cracks; if there is no liner in your chimney, we recommend you install one or have a stainless steel liner installed. If you have an existing stainless steel liner it should be inspected to ensure there is no buckling, warping or cracks in the system.

Either type chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before installing the new unit. We strongly recommend that you have a qualified chimney sweep do the inspection and cleaning. The sweep can spot problems that you might overlook, and at the same time advise of any required changes. In most cases the sweep can make any necessary changes or at least recommend qualified people to do so. Note: It is not permissible to

connect this unit to a chimney that serves another unit.

B. Flue Size

The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on the unit. This unit comes with a six inch (6”) Top or Rear exhaust flue collar. The connector pipe should be at least six inches (6”) or larger and never smaller than the collar; the area of the chimney must also be equal to or greater than the area of the flue collar. If the area of the flue is greater than the area of the collar, it should not be more than three (3) times greater.

Example: The area of a six inch (6”) flue collar is 28.87 square inches, therefore the area of the connector pipe should be at least 28.87 square inches and never more than 84.8 square inches.

C. Top or Rear Exhaust

This stove comes with an adaptable top or rear exhaust system. The unit is packaged at the plant with the top exhaust system but can be changed by switching the parts; if you switch to a rear exhaust be sure the gaskets are in place and all the bolts are tight. The connector pipe should be 24-gauge steel pipe and inserted (crimped end) into the flue collar. This will reverse the pipe and keep any creosote inside the connector pipe.

*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation. Call (800-245-6489) and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.
