NONCOMBUSTIBLE FIRE-STOPPING MATERIAL CHIMNEY FLOOR (SECOND STORY) FIGURE 3- MASONRY CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS FIGURE 4- CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS A Chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft op- eration. The requirement is that the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than the high- est part of the roof or structure that is within 10 feet of...

CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL Figure 5 shows how to connect the chimney connector of a heater to a masonry chimney through a combustible wall. There are five allowable ways that a chimney connector can be connected to a masonry chimney by passing through a combustible wall.
Page 7
PART A, FIGURE 5 (FIGURE 5 CONTIUED ON NEXT PAGE) MINIMUM 12 IN. TO COMBUSTIBLES 1. Use a minimum 3-1/2" thick brick masonry wall framed into the combustible wall. A fireclay liner (ASTM C315 or equivalent) having a 5/8" minimum wall thickness must be used and it must be at least 12" away from any material that could catch fire.

PART B FIGURE 5 - (FIGURE 5 CONTIN- UED) PART C FIGURE 5 TWO VENTILATED AIR CHANNELS EACH 1 INCH. CONSTRUCED OF SHEET STEEL. PART D FIGURE 5 PART E - (Figure 5) In addition to the methods shown by A, B, C, and D of Figure 5, a listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be purchased and installed according to the instructions packaged with it to provide a safe method of passing chimney connector through a combustible wall for a connection to a masonry chimney.

CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY, THE INSTALLATION OF THIS HEATER MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT INSPECTION TO ASSURE PROPER COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS. MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALL AND CEILINGS CAUTION: MOST WALLS AND CEILINGS CONTAIN WOOD EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MADE OF SHEETROCK OR PLASTER ON THE OUTSIDE.

Masonry, or other non-combustible products, attached directly to a combustible surface without an air space offer very little protection and cannot be considered a clearance reducer unless specified materials have been tested and listed for direct attachment to a combustible surface. The same applies to thin veneer brick and stone coverings. These materials provide adequate protection only when mounted on sheet metal with a 1 inch spacing to the wall.

6. Place the crimped end of the first chimney pipe or elbow into the heater's flue collar and mark it through each of the holes in the heater's flue collar. 7. Remove the pipe or elbow from the flue collar and drill 1/8 - inch diameter holes at the points marked. 8.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Burning Coal in your 4027/ASA7 Your Wondercoal is capable of burning both bituminous and Anthracite coal. Anthracite is the best coal fuel because its long even burn time, high heat output, and cleanliness make it a good choice for the home. However, keep in mind it is a much more difficult fuel to use and requires more care and patience.
Page 16
Loading • Coal should never be added unless there is a reasonable hot fire. The coal bed should be bright and vigorous. • If the fire is burning hot and there is a deep bed of coals, full loads of coal can be added at any time. However, if there is not a deep bed of coals, it is best to add small amounts of coal at first.
Safety • Before opening the loading door, open the pipe damper and the ash door first. • Whenever a loading door is opened, it always should be cracked slightly to allow oxygen to enter and burn any combus- tion gases that are present before fully opening. Failure to do this could result in sudden ignition of the unburned gases when the door is opened.
