Napoleon NZ26 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual page 5

For a basic hi-efficiency fireplace, blowers are not needed, how-
ever, they are recommended for extra heat output and efficient air
circulation. This can be especially important if the fireplace is to be
used as a major source of heat. Without the use of blowers, the
Napoleon Model NZ26 will operate as a regular hi-efficiency fire-
place.
A BLOWER KIT (NZ62)
may be purchased with the option of
adding up to one additional blower. These blowers are installed
in the bottom of the unit and are used to direct the heat into the
room where the fireplace is located. The blowers are controlled,
by a variable speed switch, located inside the fireplace.
A THERMOSTATIC AIR CONTROL (NZ690KT),
used for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and
thermostat, wall mounted in the room containing the fireplace,
and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the fireplace. This op-
tion allows your room temperature to be kept as evenly con-
trolled as it would with other fuels while still enjoying the com-
fort of wood heat.
A HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ220)
used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either
above, or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way of
vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this
system may be used in conjunction with the optional blowers,
it could reduce the flow of hot air being distributed to additional
rooms. It must be experimented with and the dampers ad-
justed manually to suit your requirements. This may take a
few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no longer be re-
quired as is normally experienced with your central heating
system registers.
The heat shield cover plate must be removed before in-
stalling the gravity vent. The hot air vent must be installed
in an upward direction! NEVER install in a downward di-
rection. Figures 5c, 5d & 5e. The hot air gravity vent sys-
tem is not be connected to a central heating system (for
this application use the NZ62CH). This option may not be
used in mobile homes.
No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed to
fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet.
All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM (NZ62CH)
to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit. A wall mounted
thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the
blower supplying warm air from the room containing the
fireplace. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat
blower may safely be tied into this system to reduce the
amount of new ducting required. Consult with a heating
specialist to ensure a proper duct layout for your home. If
the NZ62CH is installed at the bottom of the unit, it could
introduce a cool draft into the room that the fireplace is
installed in. When attached to the top or sides of the unit, it
provides a higher heat output. This option may not be
used in mobile homes.

A HOT AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT (GA-566)
to distribute warm air from the fireplace base (only) into a
separate location in the home.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the
optional blowers are to be installed, make provision dur-
ing framing to route a 110 volt power line to the fireplace.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
venting kit.
