PREPARING THE ROOM HEATER LOCATION

1. Select an installation location that will give the best airflow from the front of the heater to the remainder of the

home.

2. Place the protective floor pad in position.
3. Place the unit on the pad making sure the minimum clearance specifications are met.
4. If connecting to an existing masonry flue, first ensure that the flue conforms to the NFPA-211 Code and/or

consult your local code for proper procedures.



CHIMNEY

This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in
the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential, Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a
code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.

CAUTION: Certain installation types require the use of certain chimney types. Please follow these

instructions exactly.

DETERMINING THE CHIMNEY LOCATION

A. Ceiling Exit (Using Single Wall Pipe)

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of the flue

exit. (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob.) Mark the ceiling where the string is
suspended to locate the center of the chimney.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney or chimney connector,

flashing, and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer’s instructions, and local building codes for
installation through combustible walls or ceilings.


3. Now connect the stove and

ceiling support box using #24
ga. minimum blued or black
steel connector pipe (DO NOT
USE GALVANIZED PIPE).
Connect each section so the
crimped end faces downward,
and secure each section to each
other using at least three (3)
sheet metal screws or rivets.
Single wall pipe is to be
connected with 3 screws or
rivets to New Buck
Corporation Chimney
Connector after connector has
been attached to stove. (See
Figure 5)
