INTRODUCTION

THE FLAME WOOD STOVE MANUAL

Stove Builder International inc (SBI), one of the most important wood stove and fireplace manufacturers in

North America, congratulates you on your purchase and wishes to help you get maximum satisfaction from

the wood stove you have selected. In the pages that follow, we will give you advices on wood heating and

controlled combustion as well as technical specifications regarding installation, operation and maintenance of

the model you have chosen.

The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove comply with ULC #S627 standards. You

must follow them very carefully in order to eliminate any chance of encountering major problems.

Read this entire manual before you install and use your new stove. If this stove is

not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the

installation instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in property

damage, bodily injury or even death.

PLEASE CONSULT LOCAL AUTHORITIES, BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE

MARSHALL ABOUT RESTRICTIONS, INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND FOR

THE NEED TO OBTAIN A PERMIT BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR WOOD STOVE.

KEEP THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WOOD HEATING

Many consumers choose wood as the main or auxiliary energy source for heating their dwelling or secondary

residence. This source of energy has the advantage of being abundant, relatively cheap and easy to store

so that you are assured of energy autonomy for more of less longer periods.

THE CONTROLLED COMBUSTION WOOD STOVE

The main feature of a controlled combustion wood stove is an air tightness that is the most perfect possible,

and must of course be equipped with the most efficient heat exchanger possible in order to transfer

maximum heat to the ambient air. It is generally doubled with firebricks, and it may have a glass door, with

steel or cast iron frame. The main feature that makes it a controlled combustion wood stove remains its air

tightness, which allows the user to control the quantity of oxygen admitted into the wood stove.

The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove draught keys are adjusted in order to reduce the oxygen supply

in the combustion chamber to minimum; on the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the draught keys are

adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR FLAME WOOD STOVE

POSITIONING THE STOVE

It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will

favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be

installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that

wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also

functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement

with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by a blower or the

installation of floor or wall grids. Except for model The Lieutenant II, it is strictly forbidden to install your

wood stove in a mobile home.

Important:

A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of

fire or fail to respect required clearance. The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution

system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.

FLOOR PROTECTION

Your woodstove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Having these minimum specifications.

FLOOR PROTECTION

Models Thickness of floor

protection Front protrusion Side protrusion Rear protrusion

The Advantage I 1/4" (6 mm) 18" (457 mm) 8" (203 mm) 8" (203 mm)

The Lieutenat II 1/4" (6 mm) 18" (457 mm) 8" (203 mm) 8" (203 mm)

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible material mentioned on your wood stove

certification plate be scrupulously respected upon installation.

* Height, from floor protection to ceiling.

You may decrease these clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and

the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid

non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. The installation standards of such heat radiation shields are listed

on the following page.

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO PLACE WOOD WITHIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES.

INSTALLATION OF A HEAT RADIATION SHIELD

Following the installation of a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove certification plate

may be reduced as stated in the following table.

**Example: 15 inches x (100% - 67%) = 4,95 inches.

This reduction in clearance, when in compliance, is accepted by insurance companies.

CHIMNEY

Your wood stove may be hooked up with a prefabricated or masonry chimney. If you are using a prefab

chimney, it must comply with S-629 standards; therefore it must be approved for up to 1200oF (650°C). It is

extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.

If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the

National Building Code. It must be lined with refractory bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire

cement. (Round flues are the most efficient).

The interior diameter of the chimney flue must be identical to that of the stove smoke exhaust. A flue which

is too small may cause draft problems, while a large flue favors rapid cooling of the gas, thus enhancing

creosote build-up and the risk of chimney fires. Current practice requires that the area of the chimney flue do

not exceed the stove exhaust area by more than 35%. For a round pipe, 35% of the area represent

approximately 1” (25 mm) on the diameter. (ex: For a stove with an exhaust of 6”, the chimney flue should

not exceed 7” of diameter.) Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your

stove's performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney.

The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:

1) It must rise above the roof at least 3' (0,9 m) from the uppermost point of contact.

2) The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10' (3,04 m)

distance by a height of 2' (0,60 m).

3) Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior

chimney will by definition be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in

the house. Therefore the gases which circulate will cool more slowly thus reducing the build-up of

creosote and the risk of chimney fires.

4) The draft, which is created by the tendency for hot air to rise, will be better with an interior

chimney.

5) You must not install more than one heating unit per chimney flue.

6) The use of a fire-screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to

insure that it is not obstructed.

STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION OF YOUR CHIMNEY

Note : The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The

instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose

products are sold at many Canadian retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

WALL SUPPORT SYSTEM

If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent

wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required :

Chimney

•Suitable lengths of chimney (enough to go up to your roof)

•An adjustable wall support

•A wall thimble

•An adequate number of wall bands (one for every 8 feet of chimney, excluding the roof portion)

•A stove pipe adapter

•One insulated tee & plug

•A chimney cap.

•Roof guys (if required)

Stove pipe

•An adequate number of stove pipe sections.

•A 90o elbow

1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum

clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass

through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your

chimney will run between the studs. You can use a stud finder to locate the studs. Use a spoke saw

or jig saw to cut a hole, remembering that you need to maintain a clearance of 2 inches between the

chimney and any combustible materials. For concrete walls, cut a hole slightly larger than the outer

diameter of the chimney.

2- Once the opening completed, you need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall

thimble. A wall thimble is not required for installations through concrete walls.

3- You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and

fasten the trim plate.

4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall

thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the

stove pipe.

5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the

adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee. When the wall

support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs. TO

complete the installation, install an insulated tee plug below the wall support.

6- You can start to add chimney sections. We recommend that you also use locking bands to secure all

connections. You will need to secure the chimney to the house using wall bands. Wall bands wrap

around the chimney and then attach to the wall. Install the first one 3 feet above the wall support.

Then, you will need another band for each 8 feet of chimney. Note: if your chimney must be

installed through your soffit, install a roof flashing above and finishing plate below where the

roof is cut. Consult the following section called “CEILING SUPPORT SYSTEM” for more

details.

7- Authorities require that the chimney extend not less than 3 feet above the highest point where it

passes through the roof of a building and not less than 2 feet above any portion of the building within

10 feet. If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof deck, roof guys with telescoping

legs and draw bands are required.

8- Finally, twist on your rain cap and you can head back inside.
