7 Flue Information

A. Flue Components

These models are approved to use Hearth & Home Technologies series pipes, components and termination. Approved components are labeled for identification. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of

the stove.

DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPO- NENTS. Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.

This product is approved to be flued either horizontally, through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved adapter is used.

This gas stove is a balanced flue gas stove. All combus- tion air must come directly from the outside of the building. The flue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the gas stove.

A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is required when the flueing passes through a combustible wall.

A support box or ceiling firestop is required when the flueing passes through a combustible ceiling.

Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when flueing passes through the roof.

Follow instructions provided with the flueing for installation of these items.

A. Flue Components WARNING

Fire Hazard. Explosion Risk. Asphyxiation Risk.

Do NOT connect this gas stove to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning gas stove.

Flue this gas stove directly outside.

Use separate flue system for this gas stove.

May impair safe operation of this gas stove or other gas stoves connected to the flue.

B. Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL flue configuration specifications MUST be followed.

This product is tested and listed to these specifications.

Appliance performance will suffer if specifications are not followed.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal flue aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical as- pect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure 7.1).

Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow. On 45º runs, 12 in. (305 mm) of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows (see Figure 7.1).

Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside edge of termination cap. See Figure 7.3.

Horizontal pipe should be installed level with no rise.
