  • Page 6: Installation Of Your Drolet Wood Stove

    INSTALLATION OF YOUR DROLET WOOD STOVE POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.

  • Page 13: Chimney

    CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a prefabricated or masonry chimney. If you are using a prefab chimney, it must comply with S-629 standards; therefore it must be approved for up to 2100 F (650 C). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Page 14 Stove pipe  An adequate number of stove pipe sections.  A 90 elbow 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs.
  • Page 15 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe. 5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee.
  • Page 16 7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within 10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required.
  • Page 17 Stove pipe  Suitable lengths of stove pipe 1- Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists.
  • Page 18 4- Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5- Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place. 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections.

  • Page 19: Couplings

    8- Next, slide the storm collar down the chimney until it contacts the flashing. Tighten the nut and bolt and seal the collar to the chimney with a waterproof, non-combustible silicone sealant. Finally, twist on your rain cap and you can head back inside. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping legs and draw bands are required.
  • Page 20 FIGURE 2.3 (A) Connecting Sections FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope  The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure 2.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 2.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run.

  • Page 21: Draft

    DRAFT Your Drolet stove’s performance will be optimized if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, as well as the stack temperatures of the stove. If you test the draft using a pressure gauge, the reading should be between .05 - .07 inches of water column (w.c.) at a...

    BAFFLE BRICK INSTALLATION (SAWMAN STOVE ONLY) The Sawman C-Cast baffle is shipped with the stove. However, in order to avoid shipping damages, it is not installed on the stove. You need to install it by following the instructions on the drawing below. Please note that heating the stove without the C-Cast baffle can seriously damage the firebox and will automatically nullify your warranty.

  • Page 23: Operating Your Drolet Wood Stove

    OPERATING YOUR DROLET WOOD STOVE FUEL Your stove was designed to burn wood only. No other type of fuel should be used. Waste and other flammable materials are prohibited. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.

  • Page 24: Ignition

    Make sure that the chimney and flue pipes are well installed according to specifications. Respect all clearances to combustibles and floor protection according to the unit you have chosen. If you are not sure that your installation is adequate, do not hesitate to contact your Drolet dealer. IGNITION The installation of a log cradle is NOT RECOMMENDED in your DROLET wood stove.
  • Page 25 It is extremely important that you use your stove in such a way that you do not lower the temperature of the combustion gases inside the chimney too much. For this purpose, we strongly recommend that you install a Drolet chimney thermometer on your exhaust pipe, approximately 18"...

  • Page 26: Maintenance Of The Heating System

    Install the new gasket by carefully following the instructions on the gasket packaging. IMPORTANT: different models of Drolet wood stoves require different types of gasket. You need to buy the original gasket supplied by the manufacturer. Avoid low density gasket, which often comes with liquid glue.

  • Page 27: Maintenance Of The Chimney

    MAINTENANCE OF THE CHIMNEY Whether you have a prefab or masonry chimney, you must conduct a visual inspection at least once a month in order to be sure that it is in good shape and that there is no excessive creosote build-up. If there is the slightest crack, or undulation of the interior or exterior surface of the chimney, repairs or replacements of defective parts must be carried out without delay.
