    SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions:  A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.
  • Page 16 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a code-approved solid fuel burning stainless steel liner.

  • Page 17: Step By Step Installation Of Your Factory-Built Chimney

    FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.
  • Page 18 FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 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.
  • Page 19 2- Once the opening completed, you need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not required for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and fasten the trim plate.
  • Page 20 6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use locking bands to secure all connections. You will need to secure the chimney to the house using wall bands. Wall bands wrap around the chimney and then attach to the wall. Install the first one 3 feet above the wall support.
  • Page 21 9- You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of this manual called « CHIMNEY CONNECTOR». Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level.
  • Page 22 Typical installation through the ceiling FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 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 23 2- Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area. 3- To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once you ensure that the finishing plate is flush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level, secure it with screws.
  • Page 24 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney.

    2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code in your region.

  • Page 28: Chimney Connector

    CHIMNEY CONNECTOR Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24- gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney connector: ...

  • Page 30: Draft

    DRAFT Your Osburn 1500 stove’s performance will be optimised 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.

  • Page 31: The Benefits Of Your Blower (Fan)

    THE BENEFITS OF YOUR BLOWER (FAN) A blower is installed at the back of your Osburn 1500 stove. This is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove.

  • Page 32: Operation

    SECTION 3.0 OPERATION Keep these instructions for future reference.

  • Page 33: Fuel

     Even though your Osburn 1500 has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.

  • Page 34: The Use Of Manufactured Logs

    Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney (flue), resulting in a chimney fire. Never burn salt wood, beach wood, chemically treated wood, or wood removed from salt water, since the deposits left will deteriorate the firebox. Damage caused by chemicals or salt is not covered under warranty.

  • Page 35: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your Osburn 1500 stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs.

  • Page 36: Maintaining The Fire

    Your Osburn 1500 stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.

  • Page 37: Maintenance

     Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.  If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with a Robax 5mm thick glass supplied by your Osburn dealer.

  • Page 39: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Osburn dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.
