SAFETY NOTICE
IF THIS UNIT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR
SAFETY AND PROTECTION, FOLLOW ALL OF THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS FOR RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTIONS REQUIRED IN YOUR AREA.

SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM
Note: Flue systems and flue pipe are not furnished with the unit; they must be
purchased separately. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions.
THE UNIT IS NOT TO BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
A. Existing Flue System
The Add-On furnace is designed to connect to an existing flue system, such as
masonry or HT Pipe premanufactured flue pipe. If you have a masonry flue system,
you need to inspect the inner liner very carefully for cracks. If there is no liner in your
chimney, we recommend you install a stainless steel liner, or have one installed. If
you have an existing premanufactured flue system, it should be inspected to ensure
there are no cracks, buckling or warping. We strongly recommend that you have a
qualified chimney sweep clean and inspect your flue system.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE. Always try to position the unit as close as possible to the flue servicing
the unit. The fewer total pipes that are installed, the better the stove will draw.
B. Flue Size Required
The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on the
unit. This furnace is equipped with a 6” (6 inch) TOP EXHAUST flue collar. The
connector pipe should be six inches or larger, but never less in diameter than the
collar on the stove. The area of the chimney liner must be equal to or greater than
the area of the collar on the stove.
Example
: The area of a 6” (6 inch) diameter flue collar is 28.87 square inches;
therefore, the connector pipe should be at least a 6” (6 inch) diameter pipe and the
chimney liner must be at least 28.87 square inches but no greater than 84.8 square
inches.
Connector pipe should be (at minimum) 24-gauge steel and 18” (18 inches) from a
combustible wall or ceiling. This unit is tested with single-wall pipe only.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to refer to the data label and other markings on the
appliance for additional information, including clearances to combustibles.
