RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new woodstove. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Be
aware that local Codes and Regulations
may override some items in this manual.
Check with your local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Hampton Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your stove flue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance
from the stove to combustibles to insure that
they are within the prescribed limits.
5) This woodstove must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or
a code approved masonry chimney with a
flue liner, from the ceiling and beyond.
6) Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of
your woodstove is governed to a very large
part by the chimney system. Too short a
chimney can cause difficult start-up, dirty
glass, backsmoking when door is open, and

even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney
may prompt excessive draft which can result
in very short burn times and excessive heat
output. The use of an inexpensive flue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" (152mm) flue outlet on the
stove. The chimney must be listed as suit-
able for use with solid fuels. For other types
of chimneys check with your local building
code officials. Do not confuse a chimney
with a type "B" Venting System used for gas
appliances as suitable for a wood burning
appliance (refer to the Mobile Home instal-
lations section).
7) Mark the location of the legs on the floor,
then move the stove aside and mark the
position of the floor protector.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" (406mm)
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)
to the sides and rear of the unit. Some areas
may require a larger size floor protector.
However, when installing the unit with the
short leg option there is a requirement of
0.84k of floor protector beneath the non-
combustible finished floor. See your local
inspector. For outside air installation (refer
to Mobile Home installation section).
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (457mm) to the front and 8"
(203mm) to each side and back of the stove.
Things to consider when choosing options
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed (refer to the Optional Blower / Fan Installation section).
Helps combustion in small or poorly ventilated houses. Installation instructions come with adaptor.
Add to the traditional look of the stove and double as a warming area for your cookstove creations.
Adding the ash drawer will allow for easier removal and transport of ashes.
Helps in reducing the overall height of the unit to accomodate a variety of installations. Using this option prohibits the
use of the ash drawer.
9) When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) In seismically active areas, we recommend
that your unit is secured to the floor by using
the bolt down holes inside the legs (the same
ones used in Mobile Home installations).
11) For residential installations using 6"
(152mm) "C" Vent (single wall) the chimney
connector must be at least 24 gauge steel.
Do not use galvanized pipe (refer to the
Mobile Home installation section).
12) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
13) A chimney connector cannot pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a floor, ceiling, wall
or partition of combustible construction.
In Canada, if 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.
14) Your Hampton Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
