Determine the type of flue and measure the INSIDE measurement... use the
chart below to convert square and rectangular to round. |
CONVERSION
OF Rectangular /
Square to Round Flues

Measure the INSIDE ( side to side ) measurements of the clay liner.
Ex... The INSIDE measurement of 6 x 10"
on a clay liner is equivalent to
10 (dim.
A) - 6 (dim.
B) = 8 (8"
Round)
NOTE: Clay liners are "called"
by their OUTSIDE measurements, the INSIDE measurements may vary
depending on the manufacturer and location.
EX. A 13x13 clay liner may
only have an INSIDE measurement of 10" x 10" |

Use of the following fan
selection tables below to calculate the Enervex fan required to fully exhaust the
fireplace opening and flue system. |
Note: The
RED background
indicates that the fan will most likely create some air-flow noise due to a high
air velocity in the chimney.
The BLUE
background indicates the fan base will not cover the chimney opening and a
special adapter must be used.

Check that there are no more than 2x90°
elbows and no more than 30’ of height. If there are more than 2x90° elbows, use
a bigger fan.
|
The "opening in square
inches" refers to the fireplace or appliances over-all face opening.
Example : In a small wood burning fireplace, if the hearth opening is
18" x 24" with an 8" round ( INSIDE MEASUREMENT ) clay liner in a brick and mortar chimney we
would...
Multiply the length and width, in this case 18" x 24" = 432 square
inches. Being less than 600, on the wood burning chart above, follow the column to the 8"
flue size. Highlighted in
orange, the chart shows an RS 9 to be the proper
size chimney fan for this application. |
Note: The
RED background
indicates that the fan will most likely create some air-flow noise due to a high
air velocity in the chimney.
The BLUE
background indicates the fan base will not cover the chimney opening and a
special adapter must be used.

Check that there are no more than 2x90°
elbows and no more than 30’ of height. If there are more than 2x90° elbows, use
a bigger fan.
Gas fireplaces will need additional controls...
PDS (Proven Draft Switch) Safety control that senses
a draft. A pressure sensor that ties into the log set or appliance
controls and would shut the gas off if the draft became negative.
ADC 100 A pre/post purge control that would extend the
the fan cycle before and after gas is present for a fireplace or appliance.
MFD Mechanical Fireplace Damper. Prevents
excess heat from escaping through the chimney when the fireplace is not in use.
