Combustion Air Supply; When Outside Air Is Not Used; Importance Of Proper Draft - Breckwell LUXURY SERIES SP2700 Owner's Manual

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

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 gure 4). A rodent guard (minimum
¼" wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to fi gure 5). All con-
nections 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
a. In fi replaces
• Chimney top.
• Ash clean out door.
b. 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.

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 geog-
raphy, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance. 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 appli-
ance 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.
VENTING
The Breckwell SP2700 is certifi ed for use with listed TYPE L-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 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 mini-
mum 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
