Cold Climates: In cold climates, chimneys mounted on an outside wall should
be enclosed in a chase. Exterior chases reduce condensation and creosote
formation, and enhance draft. Include an access door by the Tee Cap for
chimney cleaning (Refer to Fig 21, page 16).
STOVE RECOMMENDATIONS
Follow the stove manufacturer's instructions. The requirements stated below
pertain to all stoves or other appliances installed with Model EV-SHT systems.
Choice: Choose an appliance that is listed by a recognized testing laboratory,
is appropriate for your needs, and is not larger than required.
Installation: Once the chimney system is in place, install the stovepipe to
connect the appliance to the chimney as described in the appliance
manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to maintain all required clearances.
Flues: Connect only one solid fuel appliance per chimney.
Operation: Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions for maximum
efficiency and safety. Over firing can damage the appliance, stovepipe and
chimney.
Fuels: Do not burn driftwood, plastic, or chemically treated wood such as
railroad ties. They are corrosive to your appliance, stovepipe and chimney.
Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions and safety manual in regards
to fuels. Not all appliances are equipped to burn coal. Coal with a low sulfur
content will reduce the possibility of corrosion.
Mobile Homes: Please read the appliance manufacturer's instructions and
safety manual carefully. Not all appliances are listed for use in mobile homes.
STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS
There are four general types of EV-SHT installations:
1. Ceiling-supported
2. Roof-supported
3. Tee-supported (through-the-wall)
4. Masonry Fireplace
5. Zero-clearance Fireplace
Review the step-by-step directions before beginning your installation.
CEILING SUPPORTED
1. Place Appliance: Position the appliance according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The flue outlet collar should be placed between the rafters or
joists above, if possible.
2. Frame Support Opening: Drop a plumb bob to the center of the
appliance's flue outlet and mark this center point on the ceiling. Refer to Table
1 for specific framing and clearance dimensions. Mark appropriate cutting lines
around the center point. Cut a square hole in the ceiling for the Support Box.
Frame a level, square opening centered over the hole which you have cut.
(Figure 3 and 4).
