You should determine what regulations apply in your local area before setting up your heater. The Expedition does not come with an exhaust flue stack. Blue stove pipe or All- Fuel “L” type vent capable of continuous use for flue gas temperatures up to 1000˚F may be used. - Page 9 Before the hook up of the Expedition to a chimney flue stack (4 inch diameter), check if the chimney is in good condition and that the quality of the flue pipe will allow sufficient draft.
- Page 10 DRAFT CONDITIONS All heaters require the proper draft. If a draft meter is available, set the heater to the recommended water column reading. The recommended draft for the Expedition is between .040-.060 inches water column. This is measured 18” (45cm) up the stack, before the draft regulator, and with the final exhaust stack configuration in place.
- Page 11 Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on use of the regulator. The Expedition emits very little carbon and soot into the flue system. However it may be convenient to design your flue system so it can be brushed clean if necessary.
