Blower; Floor Protection - Waterford Ashling Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

Fig.11

BLOWER

An Optional Blower is available for the Waterford
Ashling. The blower is factory assembled, wired
and ready for attachment to the stove.
This unit must be connected to a grounded, stan-
dard 110 volts, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Never route
the power cord under or in front of the unit.
Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove
the grounding prong from the power cord. Do not
use an adaptor plug.
NOTE: For more detailed information see instruc-
tions included with the Optional Blower.
CAUTION: Moving parts may cause injury. Do not
operate unit with blower housing removed.
D A N G E R: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect
power before servicing unit.
HOT PARTS: Do not operate unit with blower
housing removed.

FLOOR PROTECTION

When installing this heater on a combustible floor,
a floor protector, is required. The floor protector is
to consist of a layer of non-combustible material
and cover the area under the heater and extend to
the sides and rear. It must also extend beneath a
horizontal chimney connector and 2" (50mm)
beyond each side. The area 16" (410mm) in front
of the fuel door(s) must have a thermal resistance
R value of 1.2.
Note: For use in Canada, the floor protector must
extend to at least 18" (460mm) in front of the fuel
door(s) and to at least 8" (200mm) from the sides
and rear of the stove.
If alternative materials are used the following
equations and information shall be used to calcu-
late the alternative material thickness required:
Example:
The specified floor protector should be
thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick with
a C-factor of 1.25 over
with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert
specification to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1 /8
therefore Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125
= 0.431.
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 ÷ 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c): Compare proposed system R of
1.231 to specified R of 0.893.
Since proposed system R is
greater than required, the system is
acceptable.
