Venting Introduction:
Draft: Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause
excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing
into the room and 'plugging' of the chimney or the catalyst.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Please be mindful of installation location: Inversion and other air quality issues can arise in valleys or if unit is installed close to
neighboring homes.
This wood stove operates on a natural draft system, in which the chimney system pulls air through the
stove. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following detailed descriptions of venting
techniques; not installing the stove in accordance with the details listed here can result in poor stove
performance, property damage, bodily injury or death. Avoid make‐shift compromises when installing the
venting system. England's Stove Works is not responsible for any damage incurred
due to a poor or unsafe installation.
Be certain that all aspects of the venting system are installed to the venting manufacturer's
instructions, particularly the required clearances to combustibles. Also, be certain to use an attic radiation
shield to prevent insulation from contacting a chimney which passes through an attic.
The chimney system is the "engine" which drives a wood stove, so it is imperative for proper unit
function that the venting system be installed exactly as described in the following section.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our Technical Support line
(800‐245‐6489) is available. Contact your local code official to be certain your installation meets local and
national fire codes, and if you're uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we strongly recommend
contacting a local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
