VENTING
FREESTANDING
The W3000FS is approved for use with double wall connector and
the same manufacture’s chimney systems as follows:
Simpson Dura-Vent Model DVL
Selkirk Metalbestos DS
Security Chimneys Model DL
1.
Install the chimney by following the manufacture’s instructions.
YOUR CHIMNEY MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING
AND FIRE CODES.
2. Install the first piece of pipe, crimped end down, into the flue
collar on the stove ensuring an airtight connection. Continue
stacking pipe in this manner until within reach of chimney. Use
only an air tight slip joint to make the connection to the
chimney.
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 ¼” to the linear
foot. The connector pipe must meet minimum clearances in any
direction to walls or other combustible materials. It must attach to a
listed metal chimney at least 6” in diameter with a minimum
thickness of 24 gauge, or to a masonry chimney with a flue passage
of at least 48 square inches.
It is required that a chimney connector pipe not extend further than
the inner wall of the flue when it is connected to a masonry chimney,
and that it either be cemented to the masonry or be installed without
cement in a thimble connected to the masonry wall. When the
connector is inserted in a thimble, the joint must be tight enough so
that it will not be dislodged in normal use. Install the connector at no
less than the minimum clearances from the ceiling when using a 90-
degree elbow to pass through combustible constructions.
Chimney connector pipes should never pass through a floor, ceiling,
firewall, and partition or combustion construction of any type unless
certain precautions are taken. The best method is to use a listed
thimble and a listed insulated chimney in accordance with the
manufacturer’s directions. NFPA No. 211 also gives some approved
methods for passing a flue pipe through combustible constructions.
INSERT
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR MASONRY CHIMNEY
NOTE: Although not required, a full length stainless steel liner
(UL1770) is recommended for optimum safety and
performance.
1.
Read entire installation instructions and complete and return
the warranty card.
2. Check all required clearances as specified in figure 3.
3. Open or remove the existing fireplace damper.
4. Locate the leveling nuts on each side of the outer chamber of
the stove at the lower rear corners. Install the supplied carriage
bolts with the head down, through each nut from the bottom
sides and not extending below the stove bottom.
5. Position the stove on the hearth and in far enough so that the
flue opening and the damper are aligned. The stove may need
to be offset to one side to allow enough room to connect the
pipe.
6. When the W3000I is installed in a Masonry chimney the
stainless steel liner must directly connect at least up to the tile
liner.
7. Center and push the stove in flush with the fireplace face.
Adjust the leveling bolts until the stove is level.
8. Install the flashings and push the stove up snug against the
face of the fireplace.
REQUIREMENTS FOR FACTORY-BUILT ZERO
CLEARANCE FIREPLACE
NOTE: When the W3000I is installed in a zero clearance factory-
built fireplace the liner must be 6 inch stainless steel (UL1770)
and be lined to the chimney top.
1.
The W3000I must only be installed in a zero clearance factory-
built fireplace that is structurally sound. Fireboxes or chimneys
that have flaws, burn-outs, or warpage must be replaced or
repaired prior to installation. Check with your fireplace
manufacturer if any problems exist.
2. All convection vents and louvers must be left unmodified and
unobstructed.
3. The W3000I can be installed in factory-built zero clearance
fireplaces with minimum cavity dimensions of 36 inches in
width, 22 inches in height, and 14 inches in depth.
4. Modifications allowed to the factory-built fireplaces are as
follows:
•
Removal of the damper.
• Removal of the smoke shelf on the baffle.
• Removal of the ember catches.
•
Removal of the viewing screen/curtain.
•
Removal of the side and rear bricks.
•
Removal of the fire grate.
• Removal of the doors.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT
MANUFACTURER.
