SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Escape 1800 EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Escape 1800 EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile home. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requ

1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should 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 upward

1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the minimum clearances to combustible materials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant material. Consult the table below: Reducing Clearances With Shielding TYPE OF PROTECTION Sides and Top Rear/Back Sheet metal, a minimum of 0,013" (0,33 mm) spaced out at 67% 50%

1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-combustible material extending at least 18” (300mm) from the front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below. Please note that a floor protection is required with the pedestal models for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting floor temperatures from the radiant heat of the stove. The stove was designed and safety tested so

TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA-certified wood stove may therefore require that you modify some of your heating habits. To get the most satisfaction out of your new wood-heating system, please make sure you go t

SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimney, which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. • A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a factory built chimney. • A factory built chimney can be a double walled chimney (two concentric pipes with

If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient. The interior diameter of the chimney should be identical to the stove's smoke exhaust. A chimney which is too small may cause draft problems, since it may not have the requ

FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney 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 North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

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 betwe

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 secu

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. 9- You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove.

Ceiling support system If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney • An adequate number of chimney sections (enough to go up to your roof) • A ceiling support kit with stove pipe adapter • An attic insulation shield • A roof flashing kit • A chimney cap • Roof guys (if necessary) Stove pipe • Suitable lengths of

1. Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined where the chimney will go through the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole, rem

4. Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5. Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place. 6. Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling lev
