Chimney Top Draft Inducer - Field Controls SWG-3 Product Manual

CHIMNEY TOP DRAFT INDUCER

The Type C Chimney Top Draft Inducer provides negative pressure to
overcome the effects of wind, cold chimneys, insufficient chimney height,
and downdraft. The Type C Draft Inducer is effective when venting standard
fireplaces and freestanding gas fireplaces.
The Type C Chimney Top Draft Inducer is available in three sizes: 8", 10",
and 13", and is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. It
is insulated to withstand peak temperatures up to 1300º F and operates
continually at 900º F without overheating the motor windings or bearings. It
can operate with a standard manual on-off switch, or can be installed with
the Field Controls variable speed motor control.

HOW IT WORKS
The Type C Chimney Top Draft Inducer is connected to a
manually-operated variable speed control. When engaged,
the fan immediately creates draft by pulling air through the
hearth and up the chimney, providing air for combustion and
preventing downdrafts.

WHEN TO USE A CHIMNEY FAN
• To Provide Additional Air
A considerable amount of air is necessary to allow for good
chimney draft. In many tightly constructed homes, this air is not
readily available. The addition of a Type C Draft Inducer will
compensate for lack of air by supplementing the chimney's
natural draft.
• To Create Draft in Cold Chimneys
A chimney, especially on an outside wall, may be so cold prior to
starting a fire that no draft exists. A Type C Draft Inducer switched
on before starting the fire will provide draft until the chimney has
become hot enough to generate a natural draft.
• To Prevent Occasional or Continuous Smoking
Occasional smoking may be the result of several factors including
downdraft caused by adjacent buildings, terrain, or trees.
Remodeling, new additions, or the addition of an exhaust fan
can change air flows and result in poor draft. Or a fireplace
design inadequacy, such as an undersized flue, may prevent
adequate draft.
