4 Chimney Systems

A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney

Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 10.1 the chimney should:

- Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire.

- Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

- Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.

- Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem.

D. General Flue System Instructions

  1. Unpack the Flue Mounted Shield, detach the three brackets and familiarize yourself with the illustrations.
  2. Using a sharp knife or razor blade, carefully cut through the plastic film on the "inside face" where it meets the outer shield (refer sketch). Cut along the full length of the Flue Mounted Shield on both side, then peel off and fully remove the plastic film from the stainless steel inner shield.
  3. Peel back and fully remove the plastic film from the outer shield.
  4. Fit the top bracket to the Flue Mounted Shield as illustrated ensuring the rear mid section of the bracket fits "outside" while the two outer sections of the bracket fit "inside".
  5. Fit the appropriate lower bracket to your wood fire.

Lower Bracket "5B suitable for all other wood fires without an inner rear heat shield. On certain model wood fires without a raised flue spigot it will be necessary to cut off both the lower outer legs from the bracket "5B" leaving the entral tongue to locate inside the flue outlet only.

Two tabs are provided and if folded back at 90 degrees the bracket and Flue Mounted Shield will mount lower onto the appliance.

The Flue Mounted Shield then locates into the two notches provided n bracket "5B" as illustrated.

  1. Once the Flue Mounted Shield is fitted in position onto either of the two lower mounting brackets, check to ensure a large gap is not present between the top of the wood fire and the base of the Flue Mounted Shield, as this may result in a hot spot on the rear wall directly behind the flue outlet. If your wood fire has a lift off top grill the Flue Mounted Shield should be raised sufficiently to enable the top grill to be removed.
  2. Using the pre-punched holes in the two tabs provided on the top bracket as guides, drill into the flue pipe and secure the top bracket to the flue pipe with two stainless steel rivets (not supplied).

E. Chimney Height / Rise and Run

This product was designed for and tested on a 152mm chimney, 427-488cm high, (includes appliance height) measured from the base of the appliance. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the greater the likelihood it may affect performance.

Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per each 305 meters above sea level. It is not recommended to use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 1219 meters above sea level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.

WARNING

E. Outside Air Kit Installation

A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leakage around windows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air source is needed. An optional Outside Air Kit is available. Included in OAK-ACC:

Termination cap, (2) wire ties, flex adapter, and fasteners Included in SRV7033-041:

Cover plate and sealing rope (see Floor Installation Alternative below, Figure 20.2)

Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)

- 102mm flex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate material, then it shall be made from durable, non-combustible, heat resistant material up to 350oF. Cut the pipe to the required length for your installation. - Phillips head screw driver - Silicone sealant - Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through the wall or flooring in your home.

  1. Remove all materials from packing box.
  2. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter to the appliance using 4 screws (Figure 20.1)
  3. For floor installations, remove circular" knock-out" in the base of the pedestal.
  4. Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 102mm hole in outside wall or floor to accommodate outside air piping. Use 102mm aluminum metal flex or rigid piping to directly connect outside air to appliance intake. Use the supplied termination cap with a rodent screen. Seal between the wall (or floor) and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration.
  5. Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances you may not be able to install the flex pipe as show in Figure 16.1. If that is the case, you will need to order SRV7033-041 which includes a cover plate and sealing rope as shown in Figure 20.2. The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room air can leak into the pedestal or for cold air infiltration.
