Chimney Connector - Golden Eagle 7000 Owner's Installation And Operation Manual

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR

Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the furnace outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend
you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft.
The furnace pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021" or 0.53 mm. It is strictly
forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your connector should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach each of the
sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws. Seal the joints with furnace cement.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the upper end of
the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal run of furnace pipe must conform to NFPA 211. You may contact
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good draft, the total length of the furnace pipe should never exceed 8' to 10' (2.4m to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of
vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much longer and connected without problem to
the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a "barometric draft stabilizer" (fi replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is not recommended. With a controlled combustion wood furnaces the draft is regulated
upon intake of the combustion air in the furnace and not at the exhaust.
