Venting Introduction:
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 appliance and may damage the
catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and 'plugging' of the
chimney or the catalyst.
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.
Please be mindful of installation location: Inversion and other air quality issues can arise in valleys or if
unit is installed close to neighboring homes.
This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney system pulls air through the
stove. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting
techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove
performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make‐shift compromises when installing the
venting system. England's Stove Works is not responsible for any damage incurred
due to a poor or unsafe installation.
Be certain that all aspects of the venting system are installed to the venting manufacturer's
instructions, particularly the required clearances to combustibles. Also, be certain to use an attic radiation
shield to prevent insulation from contacting a chimney which passes through an attic.
The chimney system is the "engine" which drives a wood stove, so it is imperative for proper unit
function that the venting system be installed exactly as described in the following section.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our Technical Support line
(800‐245‐6489) is available. Contact your local code official to be certain your installation meets local and
national fire codes, and if you're uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we strongly recommend
contacting a local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
Venting Guidelines:
ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence to the instructions and clearances included with your venting
system.
• DO NOT connect this wood stove to a chimney flue which also serves another appliance.
• DO NOT install a flue pipe damper
or any other restrictive device in the exhaust venting system of this unit.
• USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop when passing
through a ceiling.
