Installer’s Guide
A. Design and Installation Considerations
2. Prior to installing, determine the following:
• Type of chimney connector to be used
· single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel,
or
· double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel
• Consult pages 31 and 32 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
To be sure that your appliance burns properly:
• During a low burn, the chimney draft (static pressure) should
be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)
• During a high burn the chimney draft should be approximately
-.10 inch (W.C.)
• Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the
appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

combustible fireplaces that have been installed in accor-
dance with the National, Provincial, State and local building
codes.
1. Prior to installing the wood insert:
• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and
cleaned by qualified professionals. Heart & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified profes-
sionals, or technicians under the direction of certified
professionals, conduct a minmum of a NFPA 211 Level 2
inspection of the chimney.
• Replace component parts of the chimney and fireplace
as specified by the professionals.
• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is
properly secured.
