CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS

Whether you install your wood heating appliance with a factory-built chimney or masonry chimney, there

are certain rules that must be followed. The following guidelines for chimney installation are included in

this manual to augment the information supplied with either the manufacturer's information for factory-built

chimneys or to insure that your present masonry chimney is suitable for this wood heating appliance. Do

not use makeshift methods or compromise in installation of any chimney equipment.

The 3-Foot, 2-Foot, 10-Foot Rule

The 3-foot, 2-foot, 10-foot rule states that all chimneys (factory-built or masonry) must be:

1. At least 3 feet higher than the highest part of the roof opening through which it passes;

2. And at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet, measured horizontally. A chimney

must meet requirement #1 and requirement #2. This rule, required by all building codes, applies to

both factory-built and masonry chimneys.

Minimum Chimney Height on a Sloped Roof

2' Minimum

10' 3' Minimum

Ridge

Minimum Chimney Height on a Flat Roof

42"

24"

18"

Less

Than 10'

36"

10' or Greater

Wall or

Parapet

"A" "B"

These minimum chimney heights are required by building codes for safety purposes, to allow time for

sparks exiting a chimney to cool before they land on the roof. In some problematic situations, additional

chimney height above the specified minimums may be necessary to reduce wind-induced down drafting

and back puffing, or to increase draft, thereby improving appliance operating characteristics.

Page 6

CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS (Cont.)

Factory-Built Chimneys

Depending on the manufacturer and where the chimney is to be installed, special supports, roof

assemblies, radiation shields, or locking bands may be supplied as a part of the chimney system. The

manufacturer's installation instructions, which are reviewed by the listing agency, specifies when and

where each of these components must be used.

There are three standard installations with factory-built chimneys. Each type of installation should use

flashing and an adjustable storm collar at the roof line to prevent water from entering the house.

Manufacturers require that chimneys extending beyond a certain height above the roof (frequently above

5 feet) must also be braced.

A chimney cap keeps out rain, birds and other animals, and may reduce down drafts. Spark arresters,

wire mesh devices designed to catch sparks and burning particles emitted with the smoke, may be

included with factory-built chimney caps. These spark arresters may become encrusted with creosote,

blocking the proper flow of flue gases out of the chimney. When burning wood, it is recommended that the

spark arrester be cleaned regularly, or removed entirely unless individual conditions or local codes

require their use.

Determining the Distance Between the Chimney and Combustibles

The chimney must be kept a minimum distance of 2" away from combustibles (e.g., drywall, wood framing,

etc.). The distance between the outside surface of a chimney and combustibles is measured horizontally,

at right angles to the chimney. The pitch of the platform (e.g., the roof) must be considered in calculating

the size of the hole that is cut.

CHIMNEY INFORMATION & REGULATIONS (Cont.)

Determining the Distance Between the Chimney and Combustibles (Continued)

Installers may find it convenient to create hole cut-out templates for pitches common to their area rather

than performing the calculations or using a trial "cut and measure" system for each installation.

Carefully read the specifications, as minimum clearances other than 2 inches are sometimes required by

the manufacturer. Maintain a minimum clearance of 2" or what the manufacturer requires, whichever is

greater.

Masonry Chimneys

If you are going to use an existing masonry chimney for your wood heating appliance make sure the

chimney is inspected and found in good and safe condition. If the existing chimney is not in good

condition repairs should be made before installation.

WARNING:

Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.

Do not use makeshift compromises in the installation.

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Your Lopi Flex-95 appliance comes completely assembled. The optional items available for the

freestanding method of installation are listed below and require assembly. THE TOP KIT IS

MANDATORY FOR FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS.

1. Top Kit (Includes the top panel and a flue extender)

2. Pedestal

3. Leg Kit, Steel

4. Leg Kit, Brass

5. Leg Kit, Cast

6. Blower, Front

7. Outside Air (Available with Pedestal or Outside Air Boot and Legs)

1. Top Kit

The top kit is mandatory for freestanding installations and contains both a top panel and flue extender.

The directions below detail the installation of this kit.

1. Unscrew the damper rod where it connects near the flue and

remove it from the stove (see the illustration to the right).

Next, remove the damper rod guide located in the center of

the damper rod by unscrewing the two screws that hold it in

place with a 5/16" nutdriver.

2. Included with the flue extender is a roll of self-adhesive glass

tape. Attach this tape along the top of the stove around the

perimeter of the flue (see the illustration below). This tape

acts as a gasket between the flue extender and the stove.

3. Place the flue extender over the flue so it is centered over the

opening and the hole for the bypass damper rod is facing

forwards. The flue extender is held in place with three bolts

and tabs that attach to a threaded shaft on the inside the flue

extender. With the flue extender centered over the flue,

place a bolt with a tab inserted over it, into the threaded shaft

from below so the tab extends outwards from the flue

opening (see

Unscrew the

the illustration below). Tighten the bolt until the tab contacts the stove. Do not fully

tighten this bolt at this point. Repeat for the remaining two bolts and tabs.

4. Re-attach the damper rod that was removed in step one by inserting it through the hole in the front

and flue extender and screwing it into the rod it was removed from.

5. Attach the top panel to the stove by placing it over the flue extender and carefully pushing it down until

it is secure. See the above right illustration. Before tightening the bolts that hold the flue extender in

place, make sure the flue extender is aligned properly and that the damper bypass goes in and out

freely.

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)

2. Pedestal Assembly:

Open the box marked Pedestal and

remove the pedestal and the two

attachment bolts and washers (3/8"

diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts).

Included with the pedestal kit is a

rodent screen and a roll of insulation.

These items are used for an outside air

connection. Refer to the isntructions

included with the kit if installing the

outside air option.

Optional Air Intake Port

Attach the pedestal

to the stove here

Lift the stove onto the pedestal. Line up the threaded bolt holes in the bottom of the stove with the two

holes in the tabs that stick out of the side of the pedestal. Using an open-end or socket wrench, fasten the

pedestal to the stove with the supplied bolts and washers.

3. Steel Leg Kit Assembly:

Open the box marked Steel Leg Kit and remove the four 6 1/2" high black steel legs, complete with

rubber-tipped leveling bolts, the four attachment bolts (3/8" diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts) and the

washers.

Raise the stove on some pieces of lumber to a height of about 7". Line up the hole in the top of the leg

with the threaded bolt hole in each corner of the stove bottom. Using a 9/16" open end or socket wrench,

fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied attachment bolts and washers, making sure the legs are flush

with the corners of the stove.

Attach Bolt (with

washer) to Stove

From Below

To level the stove, first make sure the leveling bolts with the rubber ends (some models come with steel

bolts -- the same directions apply) are screwed into position and backed off just enough to penetrate

below the steel portion of the leg. Unscrew each leveling bolt just enough so each leveling bolt is an

equal distance from the floor. You may wish to use a piece of wood or other spacer to measure this

distance. Next, lower the stove onto the ground and check for a level position. If slight adjustments need

to be made, make sure to first raise the stove before turning the leveling bolts or moving the stove. The

rubber tips of the leveling bolts will tear if they are adjusted or slid while weight is applied to them.

4. & 5. Brass and Cast Legs Assembly:

Open the box marked Brass (or Cast) Leg Kit and remove the four 7 7/8" high legs, complete with rubber-

tipped leveling bolts, the four attachment bolts (3/8" diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts) and the washers.

Use the same directions listed above for the steel legs

assembly. The one difference is that the brass (or cast) legs

are taller, and the stove should be lifted approximately 8 1/2"

above the floor before attachment. Attach Bolt (with

washer) to Stove

FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)

6. Blower, Front

The front blower is

designed to

improve the natural

convection of the

stove by pushing air

through the

convection

chamber of the

stove and causing

the heated air to

exit through the

vents along the top

of the stove. It also

has a thermodisk

which turns the

blower on and off

automatically.

Refer to the

illustration to the

right while following

the directions to

attach the blower.

1. Remove the two

screws below

the ashlip with

a 3/8" nutdriver.

The front

blower fits

underneath

the ashlip.

Use a 3/8" nutdriver to attach

the two screws that hold the

front blower to the appliance.

Plug the

blower into

a 110 volt

grounded

outlet.

2. Place the blower under the ashlip and align the two slots in the back mounting bar with the two holes

in the face of the appliance.

3. Insert one of the screws in each hole. Pull the blower assembly up as far as it will go to eliminate any

space between the blower and ashlip.

4. Tighten both screws securely. Insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

FRONT BLOWER OPERATION

The blower controls are located on the switch box

that is connected by a cord to the blower. There

are two rocker switches that determine the speed

and mode (automatic or manual) of the blower.

The two speeds are RUN (slower) and STARTUP

(faster). The two modes are AUTO (the

thermodisk controls the switch and the

temperature of the firebox will determine when the

blower starts or stops) and MAN (manual Ð the

blower will run on the speed setting selected).

The blower should be switched "OFF" for

approximately 30 minutes after each reload of the

stove. This is to allow the stove to reach

operating temperature.

Speed Control Rocker Switch

(If OFF is selected, the blower

will always be off, even if on

automatic)

Mode Rocker Switch (If OFF

is selected, the blower will

always be off, no matter what

the speed setting is at)
