Installation Configurations - Magnum 6500 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS

The Magnum 6500/7500 Corn/Wood Pellet Furnace may be installed as follows:
1) A Stand-Alone System (Shop Furnace with ductwork coming off the top of the unit)
2) A Supplementary (secondary) heating system (Add-On Furnace)
3) A Central heating system (independent duct work) Note: Recommend additional primary heat
source (Most building codes and insurance codes require a primary heat source in addition to a
solid fuel appliance. The home owner accepts all responsibility if they install the Magnum
furnace as their sole source of heat.
The Magnum 6500/7500 Corn/Wood Pellet furnace is not intended to be used as a SOLE heat
source.
Horizontal Exhaust Direct Vent Termination instructions:
1) Locate proper position for the type "PL" wall thimble. Use a saber saw or key- hole saw to cut a
8 1/4-inch diameter hole through the wall (G) for a 4-inch pipe. Install the wall thimble in the hole.
NOTE: The size of the hole will be determined by your wall thimble.
2) Position unit in place leaving plenty of room for servicing the unit. Push the type "PL" pipe through
the wall thimble. Squeeze a bead of high temperature RTV silicone sealer around the outside of the
4" diameter exhaust pipe approximately ½" from the stove back panel (unless using the Pipe
Adaptor). Firmly push on a section of type "PL" pipe until the inner pipe liner pushes up against the
bead of RTV sealer or attach the pipe adaptor with a 4" hose clamp and lock the "PL" vent clean out
tee or elbow onto the pipe adaptor. Don't seal the entire 4" diameter pipe as you will not be able to
disassemble the pipe at a later date. The bead of silicone will act as a gasket right on the end of the 3"
pipe (D). Alternate Method: An approved type "PL" connector (pipe adaptor) may be used to allow
easy disconnect for maintenance. (The RTV sealant must be used in mobile home installation)
3) Attach all venting, clean out tees or elbows and straps into place.
4) NOTE: Make sure that you leave enough clearance between the wall, sides and the back of the unit
so that when you open the hopper lid you will be able to load fuel
5) Install type "PL" termination cap with rodent screen cap (optional) on outside end of pipe. Note: The
end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12 inches from the outside of the building. Rodent
screen cannot be less that 3/8" opening mesh.
6) When installing combustion air from outside, cut a separate hole through the wall for the fresh air tube
This tube must be 4" minimum diameter only. Connect outside air pipe inlet on stove. This tube must
be terminated with a 90 degree elbow or hood. Care must be taken not to interfere with the operation
of the combustion-air draft damper. Always make sure that it moves freely.
