Venting Introduction
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.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.
