CAUTION YOUR CHIMNEY MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY THAT IS TOO SMALL OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. SECTION I INTRODUCTION Your stringent achieved the unit's Buck Stove is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet the most emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is through the use of a secondary air which is mixed with primary air in firebox. For peak performance we suggest the use of hard seasoned wood.
SECTION II MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION The Model 81 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES 1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16” in front of the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of the firebox opening. 2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness noncombustible material or equivalent.
POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do the job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores. Caulking gun Large adjustable wrench (may not be needed) Drop Cloths Vacuum cleaner or whisk broom Flashlight 1 tube of RTV silicone, Code 103 or 106, or high temperature rubber cement rated between 450o F. - 600o F.
Installation Procedure Positioning the Heater NOTE: It is not necessary to direct connect this unit unless installed in improper drawing fireplace or oversized flue. It is recommended a chimney connector be installed from the appliance flue collar to the first fireplace chimney section. WARNING WHEN POSITIONING THE HEATER, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET! 1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper draft. 2.
