Chimney installation (cont’d)
• DROLET STOVES & FIREPLACES requires the use of an (A TYPE) factory built chimney having a
constant 5’’diameter. Using a larger flue tends to make combustion gas expand and cools them off
witch have for result of lowering the draught effects. Gas expansion reduces the speed of the draught
and have the same effects.
• Low gas temperature will tend to condense and freeze or leak in your chimney.
• Refer to technical data in (table 1) in order to know the required minimum draught needed for your
fireplace. Follow this specification for proper operation.
• The chimney has to reach a minimum of 15’ high. It has to extend not less than 3’ above the point it
exits the roof and 2’ higher than any roof, building or other obstacles within a horizontal distance of 10’.
• CHIMNEY MINIMUM HEIGHT:
Chimney height must not be less than 15’.
(4.6 m).
• CLEARANCES WITH ROOF SUMMIT AND
BUILDING NEARBY :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 2’
(0.6m) above the highest roof surface or
structure within 10’ (3 m) horizontally of the
chimney.
Figure 15 : Minimum chimney height. Figure 16 : Chimney clearances.
• CLEARANCE FROM ROOFING INTERSECTION :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 3’ (0,9 m) above the highest point at witch it comes in contact
with the roof.
YOUR APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAUGHT AT ALL
TIME TO ASSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE BURNER.
