Hearth and Home Technologies BH 105 Venting Installation, Keep combustibles away from flue outlet

Venting Installation

Chimneys taller than 20’ above the connection will require a draft test to determine if the draft is too high. Note: The high burn draft should not exceed .85 IWC. Some form of a restrictor plate may be required at the top of high chimneys to reduce the draft. See page 21 for the Draft Test procedure.

This boiler may be used and installed into an existing masonry or Class A metal chimney.

Certain Canadian and Local Codes may require that the chimney be fully relined.

The venting Can Not be installed in a chimney serv- ing another appliance.

The chimney should be cleaned and or inspected before installation of the venting.

Other examples of possible installations of the venting.

NOTE: Use only 4” diameter approved pellet venting system. Be sure to inspect and clean exhaust venting system frequently.

INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

INSTALL VENT WALL PASS-THROUGHS AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER

NOTE: All installation clearances and restrictions must be adhered to.

NOTE: Read and follow all of the vent pipe manufacturers’ instructions on the proper installation and support of the vent pipe. Adhere to all clearances.

WARNING

Keep combustible materials such as grass, leaves, etc.at least 3 feet awayfromthepointdirectlyunder theventtermination.(betweenthe vent and the ground)

CAUTION

Keep combustibles away

from flue outlet.

Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal - When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The pellet vent pipe should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Guidance on minimizing creosote formation and the need for periodic creosote removal: The chimney should be inspected during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
