Chimney Top Draft Inducer
• To Provide Additional Air
A considerable amount of air is necessary to allow for
good chimney draft. In many tightly constructed homes,
this air is not readily available. The addition of a Type C
Draft Inducer will compensate for lack of air by
supplementing the chimney’s natural draft.
• To Create Draft in Cold Chimneys
A chimney, especially on an outside wall, may be so cold
prior to starting a fire that no draft exists. A Type C Draft
Inducer switched on before starting the fire will provide
draft until the chimney has become hot enough to
generate a natural draft.
• To Prevent Occasional or Continuous Smoking
Occasional smoking may be the result of several factors
including downdraft caused by adjacent buildings, terrain
or trees. Remodeling, new additions, or the addition of an
exhaust fan can change air flows and result in poor draft.
Or a fireplace design inadequacy, such as an undersized
flue, may prevent adequate draft.
The Type C Chimney Top Draft Inducer provides
negative pressure to overcome the effects of wind,
cold chimneys, insufficient chimney height, and
downdraft. The Type C Draft Inducer is effective
when venting standard fireplaces and freestanding
gas fireplaces.
The Type C Draft Inducer is available in four sizes:
6", 8", 10", and 13", and is designed to provide
years of trouble-free operation. It is insulated to
withstand peak temperatures up to 1300º F and
operates continually at 900º F
without overheating the motor
windings or bearings. It can
operate with a standard
manual on-off switch, or
can be installed with the
Field Controls variable
speed motor control.
