INSTALLATION

be at the top so they lie fl at. Bend out the lower edge of the valve at 4 places inside the fi replace with pliers so that it can't be pulled out again (refer to Diagram 2).

5)Locate the blower in a convenient location near the fi replace. In a 2 story home one good location would be in the ceiling of the basement because you must be able to access it for oiling and replacement.

Note: The blower can be installed almost anywhere in the home. However, some thought should be put into the planning, to ensure blower noise is kept away from rooms that want quiet. Length of runs should be kept to a minimum to conserve space and minimize cost. Maximum duct length should normally not be more than 50 feetbetweenthefireplacethroughthe fan to the outlet farthest away. There is a loss of about 15% performance at 50 feet.

WARNING: The WarmHearth may be tied into your home's central warm air duct system by linking into the HOT air duct in any position you may choose, however, caution must be used to ensure that hot air produced by the WarmHearth can- not be drawn back into the central heating furnace.

6)Connect the inlet of the blower to the outlet of the valve using 8 inch diameter metal ducting (rigid or fl ex). Any other size will not work properly.

7)Duct-work can then be run to the desired rooms following good warm air distribution practices. Up to six 5 in. diameter runs can be installed from this system.

Note: The cross sectional area of the distri- bution system must total at least 50 square inches. For example: If 5 in. pipeisusedfordistribution,thecross section of each is 20 square inches. Three runs of 5 in. pipe is minimum. Shut-offs must not be installed on the registers feeding the room with the thermostat. To prevent the duct and motor from overheating 50 square inches of grill/duct must remain open during operation.

WARNING: When the central heating blower is in operation it actually removes air from the room containing the fireplace. If this room can be closed off from the rest of the house, (i.e. with a door) a grille with at least 100 square inch open area must be installed to allow the air to get back to the fireplace. Otherwise periodic smoking of the fireplace will be experienced.

8)When installing the blowers for the cen- tral heating option, a thermodisc must be installed (supplied with one-way damper). Install thermodisc on the inside (top right side) against the back surface using the two screws, lock washers and nuts supplied (refer to diagram 3).

9)Wire fan to a 120 volt, 15 amp breaker through the line voltage thermostat (refer to wiring diagrams in the Installing the Blower

Diagram 3

Systems section). If used, the thermostat should be located in the principal room heated through the duct system. Do not install it in the room the fi replace is built in. Near the fi replace a simple shut-off switch must be installed in series with the thermo- stat. If the internal blower (Part # 000-912) is also installed, the shut-off switch will be mounted just beside the variable speed control.

Note: Do not install an independent variable speed control on the central heating fan, unless the manufacturer of the central heating fan permits it.

10)Frame around fi replace and ducting as shown. Use metal ducting only; don't use plastic in the chase. The diagram shows some ways of ducting the hot air from the fan. You are not restricted in the size of pipe, as long as the total cross sectional area of all runs combined is not less than 50 square inches. The diagram shows alternate fan locations. Only one external fan is allowed.

11)Ducting is tested at 1 in. clearance to fram- ing for the fi rst 6 feet and 1/2 in. thereafter and no stand-offs are required. All ducting should be insulated to reduce heat loss. Use only approved insulation.
