Before installing, determine the following:
•  Type of chimney connector to be used

 - Single wall, vertical or horizontal

 - Double wall, vertical or horizontal

•  Consult

page 30 for clearances to combustibles

•  Power outlet located close by for optional blower

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances

successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all

combustion  byproducts  are  exiting  the  home  through  the

chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
•  Preventing negative pressure
•  Location of appliance and chimney
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
•  During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should

be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)

•  During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately

-.10 inch (W.C.)

•  Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the

appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
•  Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and

national codes and regulations.

•  Consult  insurance  carrier,  local  building  inspector,  fire

officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,

installation inspection and permits.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the fireplace to operate properly. It can be stron-

gest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
•  Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

•  Range hoods

•  Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters

and other combustion appliances

•  Clothes dryers

•  Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

•  Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

•  Upper level air leaks such as:

 -  Recessed lighting

 -  Attic hatch

 -  Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
•  Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing

winds during the heating season

•  Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances

and exhaust equipment

•  Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not

located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace

•  Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or small

isolated spaces

•  Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

•  Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

•  Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams

taped or sealed

•  Basement installations should be avoided
