Installer’s Guide

6 Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

Heatilator wood inserts are designed for factory-built non- combustible fireplaces that have been installed in accor- dance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.

1. Prior to installing the wood insert:

Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and cleaned by qualified professionals. Heart & Home Tech- nologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified profes- sionals, or technicians under the direction of certified professionals, conduct a minmum of a NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

Replace component parts of the chimney and fireplace as specified by the professionals.

Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured.

2.Prior to installing, determine the following:

• Type of chimney connector to be used

B. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

Preventing negative pressure

Location of appliance and chimney

To be sure that your appliance burns properly:

During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)

During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately -.10 inch (W.C.)

Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the appliance system caused by:

Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

Downdrafts

Tight sealing construction of the structure

Mechanical exhausting devices

Overdrafting caused by excessive chimney heights

Ideal performance is with height of chimney between 14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of the appliance.

·single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel, or

·double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel

Consult pages 32 and 33 for clearances to combustibles
