Install Guide
WARNING
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
•
Preventing negative pressure
•
Location of appliance and chimney
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
• During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should
be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)
• During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately
-.10 inch (W.C.)
• Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the
appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
appliance system caused by:
•
Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
•
Downdrafts
•
Tight sealing construction of the structure
•
Mechanical exhausting devices
•
Overdrafting caused by excessive chimney heights
•
Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.
