SECTION lll: FREESTANDING PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

Once you have your flue system complete and have installed the floor and wall protection, you are ready to place your unit. The first problem you may encounter is getting the stove into your home; all of our products are well constructed, which makes them rather heavy. To lighten the stove you can remove the door and firebrick. Be sure to make a note of your unit’s brick placement before you remove your bricks.

After the unit is in place the firebrick and door can be replaced. We recommend you use a handcart and never try handling one of our units without some help. As a rule, three or four adults can handle most of our products.

A. Chimney Connector

The chimney connector must be 24 gauge steel pipe and six inches (6”) in diameter. Do not use aluminum or galvanized pipe for installation of this unit, as this type pipe will not be able to withstand the extreme temperatures a wood stove will generate. Do not use chimney connector pipe (single wall) as a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those listed previously in this manual (See Section l).

A chimney connector must be attached to the stove (and to each other) with the crimped end toward the stove. This allows any creosote to run back inside the pipe and not down the outside of the pipe. As a safety precaution, all joints should be sealed with high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3) and secured with three sheet metal screws, since the pipe could vibrate apart in the event of a creosote fire.

For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as short as possible. Horizontal runs of chimney connector pipe should have an upward slope from the stove of one-quarter inch (1/4") per foot. Maintain eighteen inches (18”) of clearance between the chimney connector and the wall and ceiling unless a wall protection system is installed. When installing this stove in a mobile home or double wide you must use double wall or shielded pipe that will allow six inches (6”) clearance from a combustible.

B. Outside Air Connection

When installing this model in a mobile home or double wide it is necessary to supply the combustion air into the unit from outside the dwelling. This can be done by running a thin gauge three inch (3”) pipe (flex or rigid) from the air inlet pipe located on the rear of the stove through the floor or wall. The outside end of this pipe should be covered in some manner to keep it clear of foreign matter. If you are installing this stove in a regular dwelling this connection is not necessary, but is recommended in air-tight homes.
