brand name, liner manufacturer, the date of
installation and states the intended use of the
particular .
After the installation is complete, make sure
the appliances are venting properly. With a
gas burning appliance equipped with a draft
hood, turn on the unit, let it warm up, then
hold a match under the draft hood. If the
ame is blown outward or extinguished, the
appliance is not drafting properly. Fan assisted
appliances (without draft hoods) have built-in
pressure sensing switches. If chimney draft is
not adequate, the appliance shuts off. With oil
burning appliances, barometric draft dampers
should be installed in the connector pipe.
Hold a match in front of the partially opened
barometric damper to check draft.
If more than one appliance is connected to
a common vent, test each appliance with
and without the other in operation.
Creosote formation and the need for removal:
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar
and other organic vapors which combine
with expelled moisture to form creosote that
accumulates inside a chimney ue. When
ignited, creosote produces extremely hot res.
Annual inspection is required to comply with
the terms of the warranty. If creosote or debris
have accumulated, they must be removed
to eliminate the risk of a chimney re or the
formation of carbon monoxide. Excessive
condensation and chimney res can be
prevented through proper appliance use and
maintenance.
When examining from the bottom, remove
the connector from the thimble or if access is
available, inspect through the clean-out cap of
the Tee. Use a mirror and ashlight or chimney
inspection camera to examine the inside of the
liner. When examining from the top, remove
the Rain Cap, examine the inside as above
and determine if cleaning is necessary.
Should a re occur within a
, notify the re department immediately.
Fires are catastrophic events for any chimney.
Before using the chimney after a re, it must
be inspected by a qualied person and
cleaned or repaired as necessary.
The posting of notices at a point where
connection is made to the appliance
concerning the liner's limitations of use with
specic fuels and appliances including a
reminder to homeowners to check the rain
cap for icing during low ambient temperatures.
Such notices shall include the date of
installation, the manufacturer's name, the
model number and class of lining system.
