optional bent hot Water coil Optional Bent Hot Water Coil - Part #3-10-49202 Use a hole saw and the template supplied with the coil to make two holes through the side wall of the stove. Keep the coil holes above the firebrick and away from the loading door. Place one of the supplied nuts on each leg of the coil. Place the coil through the holes in the stove, and adjust the nuts so that the pipes stick out about 1¼” to 1½” from the sidewall of the stove.

Water coil option Example 2: Circulating pump method. Used when the distance is more than ten feet or when the stove is on a higher level than the existing water heater. In addition to a circulator, you may want to add a aquastat to control the pump according to water temperature. This is not necessary if the circulator is left run continuously. Another option is a gate valve placed near the circulator to control the rate of flow. 1. Turn off the water heater and the water supply to it.
