1. If not previously installed, install floor protection and
move the heater into the desired location.
2. Position the stove on your floor protection in the exact
location where it is to be located, making sure all mini-
mum clearances are met.
3. If you are installing outside air on your stove, mark a 4”
circle on the floor protection just below the oblong ring.
When cut out, this hole will accommodate the flexible
outside air tube.
4. If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, locate the hold
down brackets inside the leg box and mark the floor
protection below the holes in the brackets.
5. If you are installing outside air on your stove, remove
the stove and cut the floor protection and the floor
where the 4” air tube circle had been previously drawn.
If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, drill ½” holes
through the floor protection only, at the marks that were
for fastening the stove to the floor if so desired. Slip the
flexible outside air tube through the hole in the floor,
leaving 1” of tube above the floor protector surface,
using tape to hold it in place.
6. Place the stove on the floor protection so that the previ-
ously cut or drilled holes line up. Attach the stove to the
floor with the lag bolts if so desired.
7. If you are installing outside air on your stove place the
hose clamp over the flexible air tube and slide the tube
up over the 4” ring on the outside air adaptor box and
tighten the hose clamp. Push the outside air adaptor
forward 1/4” until full contact is made with the lower
heatshield. Tighten the 1/4” bolt until the adaptor box
is held firmly in place. Use silicone sealant to create a
seal between the flexible air tube and your floor protec-
tion.
8. If it is necessary to level, secure, or ground your stove,
use the holes in the bottom of the leg for those applica-
tions. To level the stove on Olympic cast legs, locate the
front leg that is not touching the hearth pad. Insert the
allen head screw through the slotted washer (supplied
with the legs) and into the threaded hole in the bottom
of the leg. See the drawing to the right. Push the slotted
washer down until it touches the hearth pad and then
tighten the screw into the leg. Should any other leg not
be resting on the hearth pad, install a washer and screw
in that leg as well.
9. Install bricks and baffle as per instructions on page 11.
It is highly recommended that the baffle be assembled
before the chimney is installed so that the insulating
fiber blankets can be adjusted into place through the
flue collar.
10. If installed into a mobile home, the stove shall be
grounded to the mobile home chassis with a #8 AGW
copper wire or equivalent.
11. For residential installations, install the first section of
stove pipe with the crimped end going down inside
the flue collar on the heater. Continue with your stove
pipe, installing each section-crimped end down. Make
the final connection to your chimney. Your dealer car-
ries the necessary pipe and fittings to connect to the
various listed factory-built chimneys. YOUR CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING
AND FIRE CODES.
12. Be sure to fasten each stove pipe connection with at
least 3 sheet metal screws.
13. Install chimney as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Some brands of pipe may require removal of the spacer
ring in the flue collar.
14. All horizontal runs of pipe should be as short as possible
and are required by NFPA No. 211 to have an upward
pitch or rise in the same direction the smoke travels
of no less than 1/4” to the
linear foot. The connector
pipe must meet minimum
clearances in any direction
to walls or other combus-
tible materials. It must at-
tach to a listed double wall
metal chimney at least 6” in
diameter or to a masonry
chimney with a flue pas-
sage of at least 48 square
inches.
15. It is required that a chimney
connector pipe not extend
further than the inner wall
of the flue when it is con-
nected to a masonry chim-
ney, and that it either be ce-
mented to the masonry or
be installed without cement
in a thimble connected to
the masonry wall. When the
connector is inserted into a
thimble, the joint must be tight enough so that it will
not be dislodged in normal use. Install connector at no
less than the minimum clearances from the ceiling when
using a 90-degree elbow to pass through combustible
constructions.
16. Chimney connector pipes should never pass through a
floor, ceiling, fire wall, partition, or combustible construc-
tion of any type unless certain precautions are taken. The
best method is to use a listed thimble and a listed chimney
in accordance with the manufactures directions. NFPA
No. 211 gives approved methods for passing a flue pipe
through combustible constructions.
