United States Stove 1500 owner manual Installation, Power Failure Instructions

Installation

Please see all methods of Installation in Appendix at the rear of this booklet.

This is a furnace, not a free standing stove. You must direct heated air from 8" outlets away from the furnace, or it will not function properly.

1.This installation must be done by a qualified heating equipment installer.

2.The installation is to be done in compliance with National Fire Protection Association installation stan- dards: No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Electrical Code) and Uniform Mechanical Code 913, 6-4, in the states where applicable. (Their code offers con- necting smoke pipe connectors into chimney with other fuel burning appliances.)

3.Rooms large in comparison with size of the appliance:

a)Wood or Coal Burning Furnace needs air for combustion and circulation to house.

b)Provision must be made to make up this air and not starve gas or oil furnace of combustion air.

c)Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction" deter- mine that air is of adequate makeup. (Reference N.F.P.A. Nos. 30&54, Code for Installation of Gas & Oil Equipment).

4.Have "Authority Having Jurisdiction" is to inspect all chimneys and installations for adequate venting and for compliance with standard and local codes and regulations regarding installation of wood burn- ing appliances.

5.Installation for Supplemental Heat Application to Existing Central System. (See Fig. 2 for typical installation.)

a)Place Wood or Coal Burning Furnace so that the chimney connector will be as short as practical and avoiding unnecessary sharp turns in the smoke pipe connector and the installation of devices that would create excessive resistance to the flow of flue gases.

b)Locate the Wood or Coal Burning Furnace as close as practical to the existing central hot air heating system, maintaining clearances as stated on the label on the fuel door.

c)Clearance from combustible materials must comply with those stated on the label on the fire door: Unit to combustible:

Front: 48"

Back: 30"

Sides: 12"

Plenum to Ceiling: 6"

Pipe to combustible: Sides: 21"

Back: 18"

The installation must be made only on a noncom- bustible floor.

d)Install the smoke pipe connector to the chimney with 26-gauge pipe and elbows (to be purchased separately), maintaining the proper clear- ances for the specific model. Seal the smoke pipe in the chimney with furnace cement. (The chimney connector shall be securely supported, and joints fastened with sheet metal screws or rivets.)

e)Install 8" diameter heat pipe to plenum of the central hot air furnace. Use 26-gauge pipe and connectors (to be purchased separately). (See Fig.

15)If central air conditioning is installed in the plenum, install heat pipe above the air conditioning unit. Secure heat pipe connection with supports and sheet metal screws.

f)Connect electrical supply in the electrical junction box that is mounted on the back of the Furnace. See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 11). Remove the cover from electrical junction box and connect power supply wires to wires designated, using wire nuts. The power cord supplied may be used for installation, if permitted by local codes and regula- tions. If the power cord supplied cannot be used, the power supply wiring must be 90 degrees centigrade in a metal cable and should be completed by a qualified installer complying with NFPA Standard No. 70 and local codes.
