LISTED UNDER RE-EXAMINATION SERVICE OF UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES, INC. LISTED UNDER LABEL SERVICE

OF CANADIAN STANDARDS ASSOCIATION. NOT CSA CERTIFIED FOR SOLID FUELS

The regulator contained in this package is manufactured with careful precision. It is designed to regulate

chimney draft with a high degree of accuracy and fuel eciency.

ITEMS INCLUDED:

BALANCING WEIGHT ASSEMBLY AND

DRAFT ADJUSTMENT FOR WOOD AND

COAL FIRED APPLICATIONS

1. Assemble the counterbalance weight

assembly to the draft control as shown

in Figure 1. Thread counterbalance

weight through threaded nut attached to

the gate. Assemble hex nut and knurled

nut on front of gate as shown in

Figure 1.

2. Installation of this Draft Control should

be made in accordance with the stove

manufacturer’s instructions. When this

is not possible, follow the directions

below. (NOTE: For the regulator to operate properly, the

chimney must be clean and free of obstructions.)

3. The best setting for wood and coal burners is a draft

gauge reading of .04” to .08” W.C. If a draft gauge is

not available, with the draft regulator fully installed and

a good re burning, adjust the counterbalance weight

closer to the gate for as low a draft setting as possible,

without the re dying or getting smoke-back with the

stove door slightly open. To obtain higher heat levels,

move the weight away from the gate to increase

the setting.

4. Turn knurled nut counterclockwise for less draft, clockwise

for more draft.

5. When adjustment is made for desired draft, lock the

counterbalance weight assembly in place by tightening

the hex nut located under the knurled nut against

the gate.

6. For best combustion eciency, stack temperature (below the draft regulator) should be 350°F to 450°F

for dry wood. Recommended stack temperatures and draft settings for coal vary according to the

manufacturer of the stove.

WEIGHT ASSEMBLY

Attach weight assembly to damper prior to its installation in

 ue pipe. (See Figure 1)

LOCATION OF DRAFT CONTROL BEST LOCATIONS FOR

SOLID FUELS

Determine the best locations to mount the draft regulator

using Figures 2-7.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Damper must be mounted with the hinge pins horizontal

and the face of the damper plumb for correct operation.

This is done by rotating the damper section within the collar

for any pipe position. Tighten screw to hold rmly in place.

(See Figure 8)

FOR OIL FIRED APPLICATIONS

1. Assemble the counterbalance weight assembly to the draft control as shown in Figure 1. Thread

counterbalance weight through threaded nut attached to the gate. Assemble hex nut and knurled nut on

front of gate as shown in Figure 1.

2. Proper operation of the regulator depends upon proper installation and adjustment. Use a CO

indicator,

stack thermometer and draft gauge to adjust draft for oil red burners. Domestic oil burners work best

with the draft over re of .01" to .02" W.C.

3. Turn knurled nut counterclockwise for less draft, clockwise for more draft.

4. When adjustment is made for desired draft, lock the counterbalance weight assembly in place by

tightening the hex nut located under the knurled nut against the gate.
