SECTION III
RESIDENTIAL FREESTANDING ROOM HEATER
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PRECAUTION
Extensive field and laboratory testing has shown that catalytic stoves perform best as freestanding stoves when vented into a masonry chimney if:
1.A rain cap is installed on the chimney.
2.Height of chimney is at least 15 feet high.
3.Location of chimney is interior (not on an outside wall).
NOTE: Certain types of double wall pipe (close clearance) also cause a substantial drop in flue gas temperature. If a double wall pipe connector is being contemplated, check with the pipe manufacturer to ascertain that the use of their product will not affect the flue gas temperature. Do not use double wall pipes which reduce flue gas temperatures.
Satisfactory results have been reported with installations other than listed above. However, draft problems are possible if a hot chimney is not maintained.
Use pedestal kits as follow:
Model 20 | Kit #P8 or #P21B |
CAUTION: Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
