Ascot Owner's Manual - Pine Tree Stove Shoppe

The minimum clearance to combustibles is 6” (150 mm) when using single wall venting and 1” (25 mm)when using “B-vent” venting.We strongly recommend installing an approved chimney liner in an existing brick chimney. This willmaximize the potential draft of the chimney and lessen the effects of slow chimney start-up.VENTING OF A FIREPLACE FITTED WITH THE DRAFTHOOD ADAPTOR:Note: Please refer to the chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions prior to commencing theinstallation.Figure 41: Unit rear ventingstyle.Initial InstallationThis unit may be vented to an existing masonrychimney, or where no masonry chimney is available,an approved “B-vent” chimney, or any other approvedconstructed chimney/vent system (see Figure 40 &41).In either case, the fireplace may be connected tothe chimney/vent using a 4” (10 cm) single wall ventconnector.When an existing masonry chimney is utilized forthe venting, we recommend the vent connector beconnected to an approved 4” (10 cm) diameter flueliner running the full height of the chimney. In manyjurisdictions this flue liner may be mandatory.If 4” (10 cm) single wall vent is used, a minimum of6” (15 cm) must be maintained between the ventconnector and any combustibles.If 4” (10 cm) “B-vent” is used a minimum of 1” (25mm) must be maintained between the vent connector and any combustibles. Figure 40: Unit top venting styles.CAUTION: A minimum vent height of 12’ (3.6 m) from the floor is required to effectively vent thisfireplace.SPILLAGE TEST:A spillage test must be performed priorto leaving the installed fireplace with thecustomer. Perform this test in the followingmanner:1. Close all windows and doors in the room.2. Start all exhaust fans in the house and thefurnace blower.3. Light the fireplace and set to maximumflame adjustment.4. After a minimum of 10 minutes operation,test the chimney draft with a smoke matchat the top row of the pattern to confirmthat there is adequate draft or ‘pull’ at theopenings around the body of the DrafthoodAdaptor, as shown in Figure 43.
