5.0 VENTILATION 5.1 COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS This appliance requires a source of combustion air. If your home is of tight construction or has negative pressure problems, you will need an outside source of air. Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be required. 1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present. 2.
5.2 CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the stove exhaust. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the National Building Code.
5.3 INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE: Breckwell recommends the use of a full liner where a stainless steel rigid or flexible linear pipe is routed from the insert outlet collar to the top of the chimney. Multiple installation methods may be available in your area. Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this unit and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
5.4 MASONRY CHIMNEY : Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed as explained in the “5.
5.5 COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
5.6 CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE) Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. Your stove pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down.
5.7 FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY : When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
