INSTALLATION
Barometric Draft Control field 6" RC/BT provided
with your model 100 Vapor Fire Furnace. A draft reg-
ulator is designed for insertion into a six (6) inch tee.
Refer to Figure 9 and 11 for mounting of the baro-
metric damper. It is recommended that the stove
pipe be installed with the crimped end down so that
if any creosote is formed, as a natural by-product of
combustion, it will run back towards the furnace and
not run through the joint to the outside of the smoke
pipe. The section of pipe (tee) holding the draft regu-
lator must be installed in either an angled or vertical
direction.

The draft control can be positioned within its collar
to an upright position.
It is essential that the draft regulator be located in
the same room (pressure zone) as the furnace and
as close as possible to the flue outlet.
After installation, make certain the draft control
barometric regulator is upright and level. Tighten
the screw to hold firmly in place. See Figure 10.

LACK OF ENOUGH AIR FOR PROPER
If your house is fairly well insulated and relatively
air tight, it may be necessary for you to think of
providing an additional source of fresh air into
your house to eliminate the possibility of starving
the wood burning stove of the necessary amount
for good combustion.
If you have a clothes dryer, kitchen or a bathroom
exhaust fans, or even a fireplace burning and is
competing for the available combustion air which
could cause improper combustion. This could
result in some smoke backing up into your house.
You might need to look at installing an air to air
exchanger or finding another way to get some
fresh air to prevent the smoke back up.
