Combustion Air Supply; When Outside Air Is Not Used; Importance Of Proper Draft - Golden Eagle ECONOMY SERIES 5040 Owner's Manual

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

If outdoor combustion air is supplied the heater must be attached to the struc-
ture.
For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside
source of combustion air. A 2" inside diameter metallic pipe, either fl exible or
rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove's rear (refer to fi gures 5a and 6).
A rodent guard (minimum ¼" wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the termi-
nus (refer to fi gure 7). All connections must be secured and airtight by either
using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape.
For mobile home installations only: 2" inside diameter pipe may be used for
the fi rst 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2 ¾" inside
diameter pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
For freestanding installations
• A hole in fl oor near stove rear terminating only in a ventilated crawl
space.
• A hole in the wall behind the stove.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED

If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air is easily available
to the air inlet. A closeable outside air register can be used in tightly insulated
homes.
VENTING
The US Stove 5040 Freestanding is certifi ed for use with listed TYPE PL-Vent,
3" or 4" diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson Duravent brand.
Class "A" chimney is not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the
vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be sealed
with 500 F (260 C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure consistent performance
O O
and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be sealed with
UL-181-AP foil tape. We recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be
secured with a minimum of 3 screws.
It is strongly recommended that you have a minimum of 6' of vertical pipe in
your exhaust system. For best performance of the stove limit the number of
elbows and horizontal pipe as much as possible.
A chimney connector shall not pass thorough an attic or roof space, closet or
similar concealed space, or a fl oor, or ceiling. Where 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.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length
of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appli-
ance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffi ng into the room and 'plugging' of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Take into account the chimney's location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
