E:::: All horizontal runs of venting must have a 1/4 inch of
rise per foot (or greater) of length.
Use no more than two 90° elbows in the connector. If a
barometric damper is needed, to compensate for excessive draft,
install it only in a vertical section of vent pipe.
Common Chimney Problems
Possible causes of insufficient draft
A. Chimney Leaks - Air leaking in around a loose 3,ing
cleanout door, improper plug openings or defective masonry. B. Chimney Too Short - e general rule for chimneys; 16 feet tall, three feet above the roof exit, and two feet taller than anything within ten feet. C. Blocked Chimney - Have the chimney cleaned and inspected prior to installation and before each heating season. D. Trees Or Other Topographical Barriers - Impeding on the chimney’s operation or causing a down draft situation. is can also be caused by adjacent buildings or another roof of the same structure giving air currents a downward swirl. NOTE: e chimney on the illustrated house is too low, it should be raised to compensate for down draft potential. E. Chimney Size - e chimney can not be smaller than the exit from the appliance. Too large of a chimney could stay too cool to promote adequate draft. F. Chimney O:sets - O:set chimneys should be avoided. e o:set area can collect debris and cause a blockage. G. Elbow restrictions - ere should be no more than two 90° elbows or the equivalent used in connecting the stove to the chimney H. Shared Flue - No more than one appliance shall vent into a single e most common cause of poor draft is an improperly sized liner. It is recommended that the inside dimensions of the liner be at least as large as the appliance 125% of the collar for a round 50 square inches. Increased by 25% would be 63 square inches, or approximately a 9” round recommended that they not be increased by more than one inch from that of the stove collar. is will help ensure proper draft with the lower R R R RE E E EM M M ME E E EM M M MB B B BE E E ER R R R:::: A solid fuel burning stove can only perform as well as its venting system will allow it to. What to Do if You Have a Problem If you have a chimney fire: 1. Be sure everyone is out of the house. 2. Call the 3re department. 3. Close the draft control on the ash door and make sure both doors on the stove are closed and latched. 4. Do not put water on the 3re, this will cause unnecessary damage to the stove and 5. Have the chimney inspected and repaired prior to building another 3re. Smoke puffs out of the stove: 1. Check previous suggestions for insuNcient draft. 2. Check draft control for proper operation. 3. Chimney may be too low. Increase height. 4. Add more fresh air to the room. Your home may be so tight that there is not enough oxygen ge,ing to the 3re. 5. Remember, open the draft control and crack the door open slightly before reloading or checking the ?re. 6. Check the ashes. e ash pan and 3rebox may be overloaded with ashes. 7. Check the chimney cleanout door to ensure it closes properly.
