-
The installation of this stove must comply with your local
building code rulings. Please observe the clearances to combustibles (see
Locating Stove). Do not place
furniture or other objects within the clearance area.
-
Verify that the stove is properly installed
before firing the stove for the first time. After reading these
instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete your
installation properly, you must obtain the services of a professional
licensed installer familiar with all aspects of safe and correct
installation. DO NOT use temporary or makeshift compromises during
installation.
-
DO NOT store wood, flammable liquids or
other combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer to certification
label on back of unit and minimum clearances (see
Locating Stove).
-
Do not install this stove in a mobile home,
manufactured home, trailer or tent - NO EXCEPTIONS! (HUD Federal Standard:
24 CFR Ch.XX).
-
If any parts are missing or defective, please notify
the dealer or manufacturer immediately. DO NOT OPERATE A STOVE THAT IS MISSING
ANY PARTS!
-
Do not tamper with combustion air control beyond
normal adjustment capacities.
-
Always connect this stove to a chimney
and vent to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a building. DO NOT
CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
-
Do NOT connect a wood burning stove to
an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe. Use a code-approved masonry
chimney with flue liner or a
UL 103 HT Listed Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance
Chimney. Use a 6" diameter chimney, that is high enough
to give a good draft (see specifics in
chimney installation
instructions.)
-
Be sure that your chimney is safely constructed
and in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by the fire department or a qualified inspector. Your insurance
company may be able to recommend a qualified inspector.
-
Creosote or soot may build up in the
chimney connector and chimney and cause a house/building fire. Inspect the chimney connector
and chimney twice monthly during the heating season and clean if necessary (see
Creosote formation and removal).
-
In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air control
to closed position, leave the building and CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY! Have a clearly understood plan on how to handle a chimney fire
by contacting your local fire authority for information on proper
procedures in the event of a chimney fire.
-
To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to
use this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct operation of the stove.
-
Do not operate stove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
-
Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate above sides of
ash drawer. Dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
Keep the closed container on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials. Keep the ashes in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes may be buried in the
ground or picked up by a refuse collector.
-
The special paint used on your stove may give off
some smoke and an odor while they are curing during the first 12 to 15 fires.
Additional smoke and odor may be emitted from the light oils used in
construction of the fire box. This should disappear after a short period of
time and not occur again. Persons with lung conditions or owners of susceptible domestic pets (such as birds) should take prudent precautions. Open windows and doors as needed to clear smoke and/or odor.
Paint discoloration will occur if the
stove is overfired.
-
This stove has a painted surface which is durable but it will not stand rough handling
or abuse. When installing your stove, use care in handling. Clean with soap and warm
water when stove is not hot. Do not use any acids or scouring soap, as these solvents wear and dull
the finish.
-
While stove is in operation, all persons, especially young children, should be alerted to the hazards from high surface
temperatures. Keep away from a hot stove to avoid burns
or clothing ignition.
-
If small children will be in the same room
as the stove during operation, provide a sturdy barrier to keep them at
a safe distance from the stove. NEVER LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED
WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE.
-
The walls of the firebox may become slightly
distorted after a period of use. A slight distortion will not affect the
operation of the stove.
-
Keep stove area clear and free from all combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
-
To prevent burns, always wear protective
clothing, leather hearth gloves and eye
protection, while tending the fire.
-
While in operation, keep the feed door
closed at all times except while tending the fire.
-
Do not overfire the stove. Overfiring will
occur if the feed door or ash clean-out cover are left open during
operation. Such actions will result in very dangerous operating
conditions.
-
DO NOT ELEVATE FIRE! Build fire directly on
the bottom of the firebox. This stove has not been tested with the use
of grates, andirons, or other means of elevating fire and should not be
used.
-
All power cords and electrical appliances
and/or assemblies must be kept outside of the clearance dimensions shown
in this manual for combustible materials.

Connector Pipe Installation
-
The crimped end of the stovepipe fits into the stove flue collar.
Install additional pipe and elbow with the crimped end towards the
stove. This will allow any condensation in the flue to run back into the
firebox.
-
Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards towards the chimney at least 1/4" per foot
of horizontal run.
-
You must have at least 18 inches of
clearance between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
-
The pipe cannot extend into the chimney
flue (see figure 13).
-
Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3)
sheet metal screws at each joint to make the
piping rigid.
-
It is recommended that no more than two
(2) 90° bends be used in the stovepipe installation. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These provide a better seal.
-
The connector pipe must not pass through
an attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed space, or floor,
ceiling, wall or combustible construction. (See
Chimney Connector Systems and Clearances.) A UL
103 HT Listed chimney must be used from the first penetration of
ceiling or wall to the chimney cap.
|
CAUTION: NEVER USE SINGLE WALL
CONNECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE COULD RESULT. |

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The stove must be connected to either a masonry or manufactured
metal chimney built and tested to the specifications listed on the previous
pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
-
As a means of exhausting smoke and
flue gases which are the result of fuel combustion.
-
The chimney (only) provides "draft" which
allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural
draft to operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source
of fresh
air into the room where the stove is located. Failure to do so may
result in air starvation of other fuel burning appliances and the
possible development of hazardous conditions, fire or death. Note, your stove does not create draft.
Draft is
provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney must meet the
three minimum height requirements. (See
figure 16,
figure 17, figure 18) A minimum of 0.05 w.c. (measured in
water column) is required for proper drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges to measure draft are readily
available at stove stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric
pressure, trees, terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse effect on
the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for external factors
leading to less than optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with
inadequate draft, you should contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor
for assistance in solving the problem.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
-
Size chimney flue to stove collar.
This stove requires a 6” diameter flue.
-
Never connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
-
The chimney must meet all minimum
height requirements.
-
Never use a chimney to ventilate a
cellar or basement.
-
Contact your local building
authority for approved methods of installation and any necessary permits and/or
inspections.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry
chimney, clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and
make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use.
Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect
directly to a masonry chimney are shown in
figure 15. If the connector stove pipe must go through
a combustible wall before entering the masonry
chimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney
dealer. The installation must conform to local building
and fire codes and latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a cleanout opening in the
base of the chimney, close it tightly.
MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER’S
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE. Use only 6” diameter listed chimney UL 103 HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to
2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Use chimney from only one manufacturer. Never mix
brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s stated requirements and
clearances. Use the chimney manufacturer’s attic guards, roof supports, flashing
and fire stops when passing through a ceiling. Use a listed thimble when passing
through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift compromises during
installation. Never use a single-wall connection pipe as a chimney! When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s
condition and installation inspected before using. Make sure that the chimney
meets all of the UL rating requirements listed above. Be aware that not all
manufactured chimney is of the UL 103 HT type.

VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert
an existing fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe
connection to an existing masonry chimney
requires more work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing fireplace must be closed and
sealed at the damper with high-temperature caulk,
ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Prior to installation,
clean and inspect the existing flue and smoke shelf.
Installation should be designed so the
system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning and inspection. Before conversion, make sure the
existing chimney is structurally sound, the
chimney incorporates a flue liner and make sure it is in good condition. (A flue liner consists of
clay tile that protects the brickwork of a chimney. If
a chimney does not have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by a professional.
Do Not use a chimney that is unlined or
damaged!) If you have any question regarding the condition of the
chimney, consult a qualified licensed contractor, qualified engineer, competent mason,
certified Chimney Sweep, or a knowledgeable inspector. Consult your insurance company if you cannot
find a qualified expert.
|
CAUTION: Not all fireplaces are suitable for conversion to a wood stove.
Check with a qualified expert. |
Many prefabricated fireplaces are of
the "zero-clearance fireplace" category. These consist of multi-layered metal
construction. They are designed with enough insulation and/or air cooling on the
base, back and sides so they can be safely installed in direct contact with
combustible floors and walls. Although many prefabricated fireplaces carry
endorsements from nationally recognized organizations for use as fireplaces, they have not been
tested for connection to wood stove heaters.
Connecting a stove to such a device will void the manufacturer's warranty.
Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with
1/4" firebox liner, an air chamber in connection
with 8" of masonry. These can be safely used with
wood burning stoves. They contain all the
essential components of a fireplace, firebox,
damper, throat, smoke shelf, and smoke chamber. Many look identical to masonry fireplaces and should
be checked carefully before connecting a stove to them.
|
Venting a stove directly into a fireplace does
not meet code and should not be attempted. (This
constitutes connection to another appliance - the
fireplace.) Combustion products will be deposited
and build up in the firebox or fireplace. The stove
warranty will be void with such an installation. Do
not create a hazard in your home by connecting in
this manner.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Directly connecting the stovepipe into the
existing masonry chimney (see
figure 19 "Type A"
fireplace conversion) of the fireplace is the only
approved method of installation. This is a
complicated and involved process and to insure safety should only by done by a qualified installer.
-
An entry hole must be cut through the
masonry and tile liner with minimal damage to the
liner. At least 8" of liner must remain below the entry position. When locating the stove and stovepipe, all minimum clearances must be
observed from combustible surfaces including mantels, combustible
trimwork, ceilings
and walls. Positioning the center of the stove
pipe entry into the chimney 24" below the
ceiling should insure proper clearance for a 6" stovepipe.
-
Install a metal or fire clay (5/8" minimum thickness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is flush with the inner surface of the chimney liner
and does not protrude into the flue (see figure 13).
-
Secure the thimble with refractory mortar.
The thimble should be surrounded by 8" of solid unit
masonry brickwork or 24" of stone.
-
Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far
as possible without extending past the flue lining (see
figure 13 & figure 14 &
figure 15).
-
A small airspace (about 1/2") should
remain between the stovepipe and thimble to allow
for expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with high-temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
-
Secure and seal the damper in the closed position using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Also check to see
if the chimney has a cleanout. If it does, make
sure it is closed and sealed as well. A leaky
cleanout will greatly reduce draft efficiency.

-
Keep all flammable liquids,
especially gasoline, out of the vicinity
of the stove -- whether in use or in storage.
|
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO BURN WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 15" to 17" should be split and
air dried (seasoned), for 6 months to obtain
maximum burning efficiency. Wood should be stored in a
dry, well ventilated area.
|
NOTICE: Use solid wood
materials only! Do NOT burn garbage or flammable fluids. Do not use coal -
this stove is not designed to accommodate the air flow (draft) necessary
to properly burn coal or coal products. Do not elevate fire or use grates
or andirons. Build fire directly on bottom of firebox. |
|
OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
This stove is designed to get the most efficient transfer of heat energy
from the wood fuel
and radiate it into your living environment. The fire box introduces
combustion air through three sources. (1) Immediately beneath the door
opening below the window is a Lower Primary Air Orifice (LPAO). (2) The
door air inlet control brings air into the firebox and controls the rate
of burn (and the amount of heat the stove radiates). (3) The secondary
air tubes at the top of the firebox are designed to ignite the
combustion gases (smoke) given off by the burning wood and increases the
efficiency of the stove and reduces chimney emissions.
Smoke given off by burning fuel consists of very small organic liquid
droplets. If these droplets condense, they form a sticky tar-like
substance called creosote. When operated properly, this stove is
designed to burn these droplets. Burning these droplets releases heat
that would otherwise be lost up the chimney as smoke. Following the
instructions below will help you operate your stove properly to maximize
the stove’s performance. Actual performance is dependent on chimney
height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture content. Some
experimentation will initially be required to find that “sweet spot”
where your stove performs best. The following will give you a starting
point to find your optimum settings.
When first loading fuel set the door air inlet control at the wide
open position for at least 15–20 minutes. When the stove is working
properly you should be able to observe secondary combustion flames above
the fuel pieces in front of the secondary air tubes at the top of the
firebox. These secondary flames should continue to burn after the
primary air inlet is reset from wide open to the desired operating
setting. If the flames do not continue to burn, open the air control to
re-establish the secondary flames then slowly reset the air control to
the desired setting. Initially it may take several attempts to figure
your stove out. But once you find the operating “sweet spot” and the
correct mix of procedures to get there, only minor adjustments will be
necessary.
The best indicator of a properly operating stove is to look for smoke
coming out of the chimney. You may see steam emissions that will quickly
dissipate. Smoke will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing. If
you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control a little bit, let
the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and re-check your chimney. Remember –
visible smoke represents lost heat.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES, THIS STOVE USES
A SPECIAL HIGH-TEMP PAINT WHICH REQUIRES A SERIES OF BURNS TO CURE THE PAINT
FOR DURABILITY AND A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a series of three
initial burns. The stove should be allowed to cool off between each
burn. The first two burns should be small fires and low temperatures
(250 degrees F) for a duration of 20 minutes each. The third fire should
be at a medium-high temperature (500 F to 700 F) for twenty minutes.
Provide adequate cross ventilation to clear any smoke or odor caused by
initial firings.
STARTING A FIRE
-
Set air inlet control to fully open position.
-
Open the feed door and place
several wads of crushed paper in the firebox.
-
Cover the paper with a
generous amount of
kindling in a teepee fashion and a few small
pieces of wood.
-
Ignite the paper and leave the
door open slightly. DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN!
-
Add large pieces of wood as
the fire progresses being careful not to overload. (Do not
fill firebox beyond firebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1
–2” should be established to achieve optimum performance.
-
This unit is designed to function most effectively when
air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the firebox.
TIP: If ash or coals remain in the stove, make sure to clear
them away from the Lower Primary Air Orifice (LPAO) and rake
a slight (1-to-2 inch wide) trough down the center of the
coal bed from front to back prior to loading the fuel
-
Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and leave the
air inlet control fully open until fire is well established
(at least 15–20 minutes) being careful not to overfire (if
any of the exterior parts of the stove or chimney
connections begin to glow you are overfiring the stove).
-
Re-adjust the door air inlet control to desired burn
rate. (If excessive smoke fills the firebox, open air inlet
control slightly until flames resume and wood is
sufficiently ignited.) The basic rule of thumb is “closed -
low,” “half way open - medium” and “fully open - high.”
ADDING FUEL
If the coal bed is not hot and glowing, rake the
coals to the front of the stove, close the door and adjust the
air inlet control to the wide open position. Let the coals
re-heat for 10–15 minutes. When hot and glowing, spread them out
and place your next fuel load into the stove (make sure no coals
or ashes block the LPAO). Leave the door air inlet control in
the wide open position for 15–20 minutes. Fuel
load size can vary but should be kept 1–2 inches below the secondary air
tubes. Also position the fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet
can work down between the pieces of fuel. This reduces the time it takes
for new fuel to burn properly.
-
When refueling, adjust air
inlet control to the
fully open position. When fire brightens, slowly
and carefully open the door. This procedure will prevent
gases from igniting causing smoke and flame spillage.
-
Add fuel being careful not to
overload or overfire the stove.
-
When adding fuel be careful not to smother the fire. Do
not build fires against glass and make sure the coal bed
does not obstruct the air inlet.
-
Close the feed door and secure
tightly.
-
Adjust the air inlet control
as described above.
-
Empty ashes regularly. Do not
allow ashes
to pile up (see Safety Instructions).
-
Properly dispose of hot ashes
(see Safety Instructions).
-
Do not overfire the stove (overfiring is when any part of
the stove exterior or chimney connections glow).
|
CAUTION: DO NOT
OVERFIRE APPLIANCE. YOU ARE OVERFIRING IF THE CHIMNEY CONNECTORS OR
STOVE GLOWS RED. CLOSE THE DOOR AND SHUT DAMPER IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE
THE AIR SUPPLY TO THE FIRE. THIS WILL SLOW DOWN THE FIRE. |
|
CAUTION: Slow burning fires and extended use may cause excessive
creosote buildup. Ignition of creosote buildup or overfiring may cause a
chimney fire. Chimney fires burn extremely hot and may ignite surrounding
materials. In case of a chimney fire call the fire department immediately.

SERVICE HINTS
CREOSOTE – Formation and Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire and can
accumulate on the flue lining. If ignited, this creates an extremely hot
fire in the chimney which may ignite surrounding materials resulting in a
building fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected (at least)
twice a
month during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred. If it has, it should be removed. Failure to remove creosote may
result in ignition and may cause a house/building fire. Creosote may be
removed using a chimney brush or other commonly available materials from
your local hardware retailer.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the unit or chimney connector should glow
red, reduce the fire by closing the inlet air control and immediately call
the fire department.
|
CAUTION: A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY
CAUSE IGNITION OF WALL STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH WERE
ASSUMED TO BE A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A
CHIMNEY FIRE HAS OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY
INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE USING AGAIN. |
A fire in the firebox may be smothered by pouring a
large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda, or cool
ashes on top of the fire.
Preventing Creosote Buildup
-
Burn with air control open for
several minutes at numerous intervals throughout the day during the
heating season, being careful not to over-fire the unit.
-
Burn stove with air inlet control wide open for 15–20 minutes every
time you apply fresh wood. This allows wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns wood vapors which might otherwise be deposited
within the heating system.
-
BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD. Avoid
burning wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried for at least
one year.
-
A small hot fire is preferable to a
large smoldering one that can deposit creosote within the heating
system.
-
Establish a routine for the handling
of fuel, wood burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote
build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean for safe
operation. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is
deposited and weekly cleanings may be necessary in mild weather even
though monthly cleanings may be enough in colder months.

WARNING: IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
(1) CLOSE AIR INLET CONTROL
(2) GET OUT OF THE HOUSE
(3)
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. |
CHIMNEY DRAFT Draft is a function
of the chimney, not the stove do not expect the
stove to draw. Smoke spillage into the house or
excessive buildup of condensation or creosote in the
chimney are warnings that the chimney is NOT
functioning properly. Correct the problem before using the
stove. Following are some possible causes for
improper draft.
-
The connector stovepipe may be pushed
into the chimney too far, stopping the draft.
-
If the chimney is
operating too cool, water will condense in the chimney and run back
into the stove. Creosote formation will be rapid and may block the
chimney. Operate the stove at a fire level high enough to keep the
chimney warm preventing this condensation.
-
If the fire burns well but
sometimes creates excessive smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by
the chimney top being lower than another part of the house or a nearby
tree. The wind blowing over a house or tree, falls on top of the
chimney like water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The top of the
chimney should be at least three (3) feet above the roof and be at
least two (2) feet higher than any point of the roof within ten (10)
feet.
|
NOTE: A draft reading of
0.05 to 0.06 W.C. (Water Column)
is suggested for proper burning of this
stove. |
GLASS CARE The following usage and safety tips should
be observed:
-
Inspect the glass
regularly for cracks and breaks. If you detect a crack or break,
extinguish the fire immediately and contact the manufacturer for a
replacement.
-
Do not slam the door or
otherwise impact the glass. When closing doors, make sure that logs
or other objects do not protrude to impact the glass.
-
Do not build fires
against (or that might fall against) the glass.
-
Do not clean the glass
with materials that may scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks during
operation.
-
Never attempt to clean the glass while the unit is hot.
If deposits are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners are adequate using
a soft, non-abrasive cleaning pad. Heavier deposits may be removed with
oven cleaners.
-
Never put substances which can ignite explosively in the
unit. Even small explosions in confined areas can blow out the glass.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
|
CAUTION: Replace glass ONLY with 5mm High
Temperature ceramic glass of the proper size. Do not use
tempered glass or double thickness window glass! |

FLOOR PROTECTOR MATERIALS
CALCULATIONS This stove has been tested for and must be installed
on a floor protector with the proper Thermal Resistance or R-value as stated in
the installation instructions for
Locating Stove, step
1, of this manual. If the floor protector materials listed in the instructions
are not available, materials with an equivalent R-value may be substituted.
Alternate materials may be
rated with C-factor (Thermal Conductance) or k-factor (Thermal Conductivity)
ratings which must be converted to R-value to determine if the alternate
material meets the tested requirements. The following instructions provide the
proper information and formulas for conversion to R-value. To determine if alternate materials are acceptable follow
this sequence.
-
Convert material specifications to R-value:
-
R-value given — no conversion necessary
-
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in
inches: R = 1/k x T
-
C-factor is given: R = 1/C
-
Determine the R-value of proposed alternate floor
protector:
-
Use formulas in step 1 above to calculate R-value of
proposed material(s).
-
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to
determine overall R-value.
-
If the overall R-value of the floor protector system is
equal to or greater than the floor protector specifications given, the
alternate is acceptable.

Example:
The specs of floor protector material should be 3/4-inch
thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternative material is 4" brick with a C-factor
of 1.25 over 1/8-inch mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step 1: Convert specs to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x 0.75 = 0.893 System must have a
R-value of 0.893 = Rspecs
Step 2: Calculate R-value of individual components
4" Brick with C-factor = 1.25. R = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80 =
Rbrick 1/8-inch (0.125") mineral board with k-factor = 0.29. R =
1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431 = Rmin.brd.
Step 3: Add R-values of components to get total R-value of
system
Rbrick + Rmin.brd = 0.80 + 0.431 = 1.231 = Rsystem
Step 4: Compare Rsystem to Rspecs
Rsystem = 1.231 is larger than Rspecs of 0.893. System R-value exceeds the
required
specifications and therefore is an acceptable alternative.
