INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
COMBUSTION AIR
Insure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling
(range hoods, dryers, etc.). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the
room where the stove is located, to prevent air starvation.
VENTING SYSTEMS
e venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. ese get extremely hot
during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote
re. To protect against the possibility of a house re, the chimney connector and chimney must
be properly installed and maintained. A listed thimble must be used when a connection is made
through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a
connection is made through the ceiling to a listed prefabricated chimney. ese accessories are
absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.
is stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed factory built chimney
suitable for use with solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA.
Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will aect the safe operation
of both appliances, and will void the stove warranty. You must comply with the local authority
having jurisdiction and/or in Canada, CSA installation standard B365-M87.
e chimney connector must be 6” diameter, 24/26 MSG Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum
or galvanized steel. ey cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood re. e
chimney connector between the stove and the chimney should be as short and direct as possible.
Blaze King recommends the use of double wall pipe and two 45° elbows instead of a single 90°
elbow. A minimum 36” rise is recommended prior to any elbows being used.
e chimney connector must be attached to either an approved masonry chimney or one of the
listed factory built chimneys suitable for use with solid wood fuel. All joints must be tight and
fastened with sheet metal screws.
WARNING:
e chimney connector is to be used only within the room, between the stove
and ceiling/wall. Never use a chimney connector to pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space, or a oor, or ceiling. Always maintain the minimum
clearances to combustibles as required by the applicable building codes.
DRAFT
Dra is created by the heated air rising in the chimney system. is dra will pull fresh
combustion air into the rebox. Recommended dra is .05 in. w.c. operated on high. Too
little dra results in a sluggish re and smoke spillage into the room when the stove door is
opened. Too much dra (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to operate the stove and will void
manufacturers warranty. Use a key damper if necessary to avoid excessive dra.
