Heater model installaon and operaon manual
e rules below are based on those found in the CSA B365 installation code. Please carefully follow
these installation instruction rules, or those enforced where you live.
MAXIMUM OVERALL LENGTH OF STRAIGHT PIPE: 3 M 10 FT. INCLUDING ELBOWS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL: 450 MM 18 IN.. THE MINIMUM
CLEARANCE MAY BE REDUCED BY 50 PERCENT TO 225 MM 9 IN. IF SUITABLE SHIELDING IS
INSTALLED EITHER ON THE PIPE OR ON THE COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE.
THE ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE AS SHORT AND DIRECT AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN THE STOVE AND
CHIMNEY. THE USE OF TWO 45 DEGREE ELBOWS IS OFTEN PREFERABLE TO A SINGLE 90 DE
GREE ELBOW BECAUSE LESS TURBULENCE IS CREATED IN THE EXHAUST FLOW AND THEY
RESULT IN LESS HORIZONTAL RUN.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF 90DEGREE ELBOWS: 2.
MAXIMUM UNSUPPORTED HORIZONTAL LENGTH: 1 M 3 FEET.
GALVANIZED FLUE PIPES MUST NOT BE USED BECAUSE THE COATINGS VAPORIZE AT HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND RELEASE DANGEROUS GASES. USE BLACK PAINTED FLUE PIPES.
FLUE PIPES MUST BE AT LEAST 24 GAUGE IN THICKNESS.
FLUE PIPE JOINTS SHOULD OVERLAP 30 MM 1 1/4 IN.
EACH JOINT IN THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE FASTENED WITH AT LEAST THREE SCREWS.
THE ASSEMBLY MUST HAVE ALLOWANCE FOR EXPANSION: ELBOWS IN ASSEMBLIES ALLOW
FOR EXPANSION; STRAIGHT ASSEMBLIES SHOULD INCLUDE AN INSPECTION WRAP WITH ONE
END UNFASTENED, OR A TELESCOPIC SECTION.
MINIMUM UPWARD SLOPE TOWARDS THE CHIMNEY: 20 MM/M 1/4 IN/FT..
ONE END OF THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE FLUE COLLAR WITH 3
SHEET METAL SCREWS AND THE OTHER END SECURELY FASTENED TO THE CHIMNEY.
THERE MUST BE PROVISION FOR CLEANING OF THE PIPES, EITHER THROUGH A CLEAN OUT
OR BY REMOVAL OF THE PIPE ASSEMBLY. REMOVAL OF THE ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE
THAT THE STOVE BE MOVED.
THE MALE ENDS OF THE SECTIONS MUST BE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE APPLIANCE SO THAT
FALLING DUST AND CONDENSATION STAY INSIDE THE PIPE.
A FLUE PIPE MUST NEVER PASS THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OR CEILING OR THROUGH
AN ATTIC, ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR CONCEALED SPACE.
WHERE PASSAGE THROUGH A WALL OR PARTITION OF COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS
DESIRED, THE INSTALLATION SHALL CONFORM TO CAN/CSAB365, INSTALLATION CODE FOR
SOLIDFUELBURNING APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT.
e ideal ue pipe assembly is one that rises straight up from the appliance ue collar and directly into the chimney with no
elbows. A straight up connector assembly needs either a telescopic length or an inspection wrap (pipe coupler) to allow it to be
assembled and disassembled without moving the stove.
A straight ue pipe assembly oers the least restriction to gas ow and results in stronger draft. Straight assemblies also need less
maintenance because there are no corners to collect creosote.
e chimney connector must be in good condition.
