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andEfficiency–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.
