2.3 LOCATING THE FURNACE (Fig S102-2)
The location of the furnace must be as close as possible to the chimney. The chimney
must be approved for wood burning appliances (ULC S629). Keep in mind also the
day-to-day operation, and place for ease of fueling and cleaning. KERR recommends
installation if possible, in a central location in relation to the outlet registers and the use
of large warm air ducts to improve heat distribution during a power failure.
It is important to provide adequate combustion air to the furnace. It may be necessary
to add a ventilator to an exterior wall of a closed furnace room or an airtight basement.
The furnace must be installed so that the clearances as shown in Figure S102-1, or
those of local authorities are met. If the furnace must be installed on a combustible floor,
a non-combustible base must be built as shown in Figure S102-2. Two layers of hollow
masonry block (4” thick) are placed at right angles to each other so that the ventilation
holes of one layer are opposite to those of the other layer. Also there must be a
minimum of one layer of fireproof board and one layer of 26 gauge galvanized metal
beneath the masonry blocks. This base must extend beyond the furnace to a minimum
distance of 18 inches (457 mm) in front and 8 inches (204 mm) on all sides.
