SECTION 1 – OUTDOOR FURNACE INSTALLATION
To ensure the E-Classic Outdoor Wood Gasification
Furnace functions as designed, careful planning and
proper installation are imperative. This section outlines
much of the information needed to install the outdoor
furnace, select water lines, install circulation pumps and
connect to your existing heat emitter(s).
Be sure to read carefully and observe all of the
information, not only in this section, but in the entire
owner's manual.
If any installation questions arise that cannot be
answered by the information in this manual, be sure to
contact your dealer.

PLANNING THE LOCATION

When selecting a suitable location, carefully consider
each of the following:
❑ Must be installed in accordance to all applicable
codes and regulations.
❑ Check with your insurance company to see if they
have any location requirements.
❑ Consider prevailing winds and the direction smoke
will travel.
❑ The shorter the distance between the outdoor
furnace and building(s) being heated, the lower the
cost will be for the installation of the hot supply
and return water lines and insulation.
❑ Be sure to maintain the required clearances to
combustibles and recommended maintenance
clearances.
❑ ThermoPEX pre-insulated piping is recommended
for all installations. Other types of piping should
not be buried in low-lying areas with standing
water or with a very high water table, or under an
area of heavy vehicle traffic unless protected from
excessive compression.
❑ If the ground at the location is unstable or subject
to frost heaving, consider installing 2" (5 cm)
closed-cell insulation under the front portion of the
concrete slab the outdoor furnace will be installed
on, and under the area around the slab used for
walking (see Fig. 3).
