When using a Class A or double wall flue pipe connection, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

When constructing a single wall smoke pipe, the following guidelines must be observed.

1. The smoke pipe should be 24 gauge or heavier

stainless

steel or black pipe.

2.Secure all joints with three #8 screws.

3.If the smoke pipe must pass through a wall, an ap-

proved

insulated or ventilated

thimble, at least three times the

diameter

of the smoke pipe must be used. (i.e. a 6" diameter smoke pipe needs an 18" thimble).

4. The smoke pipe should not be used as a chimney.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR

ALL SMOKE PIPES

The smoke pipe must be constructed and installed so that it maintains clearances, keeps condensation and creosote within the pipe, and is capable of withstanding a two to three thousand degree chimney fire.

1.The smoke pipe should slant down toward the furnace a minimum of 1/4" to the foot. At no time should the pipe turn downward toward the chimney or run horizontal.

2.There should be no more than two 90 degree elbows.

3.The smoke pipe should never be longer than six feet. If it is absolutely necessary to make a run of more than six feet (not recommended) use extra support brackets every 3 feet.

4.The smoke pipe should never be reduced to a smaller size than flue opening on the furnace.

5.The smoke pipe should not block the flue of the

chimney

or extend into it in any

way.

 

6. A good airtight thimble should be used to hold the

smoke

pipe in the chimney. It

should be constructed so the

smoke

pipe can be removed for cleaning.

 

7.The smoke pipe should not leave the heated portion of the building to reach the chimney.

8.The smoke pipe should not pass from one story to the next before entering the chimney, nor should it pass through any closed or enclosed space.

9.Heat reclaimers should not be installed or used in the smoke pipe.

10.The smoke pipe should not be located near or in a walk way or well traveled area.

11.All male ends of smoke pipe should run or point

towards

the furnace.

DAMPERS ON STOVE PIPES

When burning coal, we recommend a Barometric Draft Damper be installed at a safe convenient place between chimney and your furnace.

When you have installed the smoke pipe connecting your furnace to the chimney, tap the pipe hard with your fingernail. Remember the sound it makes - it will be a "ting" echoing inside the stove pipe. If later you tap and hear a muffled thud, you are building up soot in the pipe and should clean it. This pipe should be cleaned at least once or twice during the

heating season.

DO NOT CONNECT TWO HEATERS TO THE SAME CHIM- NEY FLUE. The National Fire Prevention Association recom- mends that woodburning appliances vent into a separate chimney from gas or oil furnaces. If such an installation is contemplated, first check with a local building inspector to find out if a separate flue for a woodburner is required.

If codes allow, use extreme care in making such installations. Be sure that one pipe is higher than the other so that the two openings will not be opposite each other. Also, when connect- ing two heaters into the same chimney flue, the flue size should be large enough to handle both heaters. Very few codes and standards allow same flue connection. Such installations can cause severe problems. Gas hoods and barometric dampers allow excess air into the chimney causing cooling of the flue gases and a greater creosote build-up potential. If the same flue connections are used, chimneys must be inspected more frequently and the chimney should be cleaned any time the creosote deposits exceed 1/4" thickness. A creosote fire in such a chimney can burn out of control because of the air leak through the barometric damper or gas hood. Keeping the chimney clean and burning well- seasoned wood is absolutely necessary. This type of installa- tion does require more frequent inspection and maintenance.

HEATED AIR DISCHARGE

The Hotblast furnace is designed for use as a supplemental heating source. When used as a supplementary furnace, the 1600/1800 is connected in conjunction with an oil, gas, or electric furnace to the existing duct work which distributes the heated air into several rooms and/or areas.

When used as a space heater, heated air from the 1600/1800 furnace is expelled directly into the room in which the furnace is located. In installations of this type, the flow of heated air from the furnace must not be blocked. It is recommended that an elbow be attached to the heated air discharge to divert the heated air away from combustibles. All other criteria for installation remains unchanged.

CONNECTING HOT AIR DUCT TO FURNACE

We strongly recommend that the hot air duct work be installed by a home heating specialist. If doing the installation yourself, before you decide which installation will best suit your needs, consult a qualified heating technician and follow his recom- mendations as to the safest and most efficient method of installation.

The following illustrations are the only acceptable configura- tions when installed with existing oil or gas furnaces.

1600, 1800 specifications

The United States Stove Company is known for producing high-quality, efficient wood and coal stoves made for both residential and commercial applications. Among their notable models are the 1600 and 1800 series, both of which provide reliable heating solutions with a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.

The United States Stove 1600 model is designed for versatility, making it ideal for a variety of spaces, including homes, cabins, and workshops. It features a sturdy cast iron construction, contributing to its durability and ability to retain heat effectively. The 1600 is equipped with a large firebox that accommodates larger logs, allowing for extended burn times and less frequent loading. One of its main features is an air wash system that helps keep the glass door clean, providing a clear view of the fire while enhancing the stove's efficiency.

On the other hand, the United States Stove 1800 model typically offers a larger heating capacity compared to the 1600, making it suitable for bigger rooms or open floor plans. This model also boasts a robust design, often made from heavy-duty steel, which not only enhances its longevity but also provides excellent heat retention. The 1800 series may come with advanced features such as a secondary combustion system, promoting cleaner burning and improved efficiency by maximizing heat output while reducing smoke emissions.

Both models feature easy-to-use mechanical controls for regulating airflow, allowing users to adjust the fire's intensity according to their heating needs. Additionally, they are designed to be compatible with various flue venting systems, providing flexibility in installation options.

Safety is a paramount concern in both the 1600 and 1800 models, with built-in safeguards such as a thermal protective barrier and an external ash door for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Overall, the United States Stove 1600 and 1800 models embody a commitment to quality craftsmanship, efficiency, and user-friendly designs, making them excellent choices for anyone in search of reliable heating solutions in their living or working spaces.
