Smoke Pipe Installation - USSC Clayton 1600 Installation & Operator's Manual

always follow the chimney manufacturers instructions.
NOTE: Type of chimney: Class A All-Fuel also referred to as
Low-Heat appliance type chimney per Uniform Mechanical
Code:
Chimney, low-heat appliance type is a factory built,
masonry or metal chimney suitable for removing the
products of combustion from fuel-burning low-heat
appliances producing combustion gases not
in excess of 1000°F under normal operating
conditions but capable
gases of 1400°F during
forced firing for periods up to one hour.
temperatures are measured at the appliance flue outlet.

1. The wood furnace should be the only heating appliance
using a chimney flue. One furnace per flue.
2. A masonry chimney should have a tile or stainless steel
liner.
3. The masonry chimney should not have any missing
mortar or loose bricks.
4. There should be no mortar or parts of the chimney
blocking the chimney flue.
5. There should be a two inch clearance between any
chimney (masonry or metal) and combustibles (such
as the house).
6. The chimney should extend at least 2' above the
of producing combustion

7. The chimney should be relatively straight and vertical.
8. The portion of an all-fuel metal chimney that extends
above the roof should be well secured.
9. A masonry chimney should be built on footings and not
attached to the house.
10. A rain cap, complete with an animal or bird screen,
should be installed on top of the chimney.
CREOSOTE — FORMATION AND NEED
FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at
least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if
a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumu-
lated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.

SMOKE PIPE INSTALLATION

Clearances to combustible materials (i.e. paneling, ceiling tile,
sheet rock, plaster, draperies, casements or wood trim, etc.)
will vary with the type of flue connection used. Be sure to
maintain the specified clearances for your type of installation.
