INSTALLATION



Installation Overview



Whenchoosingalocationforyournewstove,thereareamultitudeoffactorsthat

shouldbetakenintoaccountbeforebeginningtheinstallation.



1.TrafficPatterns–Tohelppreventaccidents,thestoveshouldbeplacedinalocation

whereitisoutofthewayofnormaltravelthroughthehome.



2.HeatFlow–Whendecidingonalocationforthestove,considerthewayheatmoves

throughoutyourhome.Installthestovewhereyouneedthe heat;basement

installationsoftendonotallowsufficientheattoflowtotheupperfloorsandatop

floorinstallationwillnotallowanyheattoreachthefloorsbelow. Alwaysconsider

thatheatrisesandwilltakethepathofleastresistancewhileitisstillhot.



3.ExhaustLocation–Theenginewhichdrivesawoodstoveisthechimneysystem,so

itisimportanttoconsiderpreciselyhowthechimneysystemwillbeintegratedinto

thestoveinstallation. Ideally,awoodstovechimneywillruncompletelyvertical

fromthefluecollaroftheunitallthewaytotheterminationpointabovetheroof

line. Keepingtheentirechimneysysteminsidetheheatedenvelopeofthehome

willensureastrong,easytoinitiatedraftinthechimney. Althoughexteriorchimney

systemsoftenfunctionproperly,theyaremorelikelytosufferfromcolddowndrafts

atstartuporprovideweakdrafttotheunit. Also,considerthecross‐sectionalarea

ofthechimney;althoughexistingmasonrychimneyscanoftenbeused,alarge

externalmasonrychimneywillresultinaunitthatisdifficultorimpossibleto

operateproperly. Inthatcase,aninsulatedchimneylinerwilloftenberequiredto

supplythenecessarydraft.



4.WallConstruction–Locatingthestovesothattheexhaustsystemcanpassbetween

studswillsimplifytheinstallationandeliminatetheneedtoreframeanysectionsof

thewallorceilingtoaccommodatethewallthimbleorceilingbox.
