STD-UL SUBJECT 1783-ENGL 1779 7275775 077b91L 230 D APRIL 5, 1999 SUBJECT 1783 5 INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover direct connect systems that are intended to provide for direct connection between a solid-fuel burn

14、ing appliance and a masonry fireplace chimney. Solid-fuel burning appliances include fireplace stoves, room heaters, and fireplace inserts. Direct connect systems are intended for installation in accordance with the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances, NFPA 21

15、1. 2 General 2.1 Terminology 2.1.1 The term “product“ as used in these requirements refers to an entire direct connect system or any part thereof covered by these requirements unless specifically noted otherwise. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 If a value for measurement is followed by a value in oth

16、er units in parentheses, the second value may be only approximate. The first stated value is the requirement. 2.3 Components 2.3.1 Except as indicated in 2.3.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.3.2 A component need not comply

17、with a specific requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not needed in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating establishe

18、d for the intended conditions of use. 2.3.4 Specific components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specified limits, and

19、shall be used only under those specific conditions for which they have been recognized. 3 Glossary 3.1 DIRECT CONNECTION - The type of flue connection required between a solid-fuel burning appliance and a masonry fireplace chimney, wherein a connector pipe extends from the appliance flue collar at l

20、east to the chimney flue liner. The connector pipe may or may not be attached to the chimney flue liner. 6 SUBJECT 1783 APRIL 5, 1999 4 Installation and Maintenance Instructions 4.1 General 4.1.1 The installation and maintenance instructions may be either in a single manual or be separate manuals, a

21、nd shall be packed with the product. 4.1.2 The instructions shall make reference to the manufacturers or private labelers catalog designation, or equivalent, for the product and/or its components, and shall include the manufacturers or private labelers name and address. 4.1.3 The installation and ma

22、intenance instructions required to be provided with the product shall be furnished with the sample submitted for investigation and shall be used as a guide in the investigation of the product. The instructions need not be in final printed form for the investigation. 4.2 Installation instructions 4.2

23、.1 Installation instructions shall be illustrated and include directions and information necessary to complete the intended installation of the product. 4.2.2 The installation instructions shall include: a) Details concerning the parts and materials required and the step-by-step process for installi

24、ng the product. b) Specific reference to indicate the type of appliance(s) and fuels with which the product is designed to be used. c) Instructions to the installer to examine the masonry fireplace and chimney prior to installation of the product to determine that the construction meets the minimum

25、fireplace construction requirements specified and/or illustrated in the instructions, that it is free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits or other blockage, or other signs of deterioration. The instructions shall also state that if evidence of deterioration is noted, the product should not

26、be installed or used until repairs have been made to the fireplace. d) Description of any limitations with respect to installation and minimum installation clearances. e) Details concerning the method of joining two or more parts to constitute the intended assembly, and the like. f) Instructions for

27、 removal or securement of the fireplace damper, if installation of the system renders the existing fireplace damper control inaccessible. g) Illustrations that completely describe the installation of the assembly and connection through the damper area and into the flue lining. h) A statement to the

28、installer to verify that the size of the chimney is such that its cross- sectional area is not greater than three times the cross-sectional area of the direct connector system flue pipe, with examples provided as to how to make such a verification. i) A statement advising the installer to contact lo

29、cal building or fire officials concerning any installation restrictions or need for inspection of the product installation. APRIL 5. 1999 SUBJECT 1783 7 4.3 Maintenance instructions 4.3.1 Maintenance instructions shall be provided with each product. 4.3.2 The maintenance instructions shall include p

30、articular details concerning: a) Inspection, maintenance and cleaning of the direct connect system and masonry chimney, including reference to the formation and removal of creosote build-up in the chimney as follows (the inspection frequency “once every 2 months” stated below may be a shorter time p

31、eriod at the manufacturers or private labelers option). ”Creosote - Formation and Need for 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-bu

32、rning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected at least once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it sh

33、ould be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.” b) Details concerning the step-by-step process for removal and reinstallation of the product for periodic inspection and cleaning of it and the solid-fuel burning appliance. c) Details concerning the inspection methods for determining whether cl

34、eaning is necessary. d) A statement advising the user of any servicing that should be performed by a qualified service representative. 4.4 Coal burning accessory 4.4.1 The maintenance instructions for a product intended for use with a coal burning appliance product shall also include: a) Reference t

35、o the formation and removal of soot buildup in the direct connect system and masonry chimney as follows (the inspection frequency ”once every 2 months” stated below may be a shorter time period at the manufacturers or private labelers option): “Soot - Formation and Need for Removal When coal is burn

36、ed, the products of combustion combine with moisture to form a soot residue which accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this soot makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected at least once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a soot buildup has occurred. I

37、f soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.” b) A caution statement regarding the use of fuels other than those specified in the appliance connected to the product.
