Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
=0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431

Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.

Definitions:
Thermal conductance = C = Btu = W
(hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K)

Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu)
(hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(tf)(°F)

Thermal conductance = R = (ft²)(hr)(°F) = (m²)(°K)

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 flashing

and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.

Now connect the stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blue 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. Also use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten pipe to
collar on heater. (See Figure 5. Page 14.)
