Installing the Therma-coil in the Stove
1) Measure inside the stove and using a punch and the template provided, punch two marks in the stove wall.
2) Check again inside and out, remembering the 6” nipples will go through the holes made in the stove as well as any heat shields that your stove may have. The Therma-coil should exit out the rear of the stove when possible, so plumbing to and from the stove is hidden.
3) Using a drill bit the same size as the pilot drill of the hole saw provided, drill from the inside of the stove through the stove wall
and heat shields (if
any), using oil on the bit to help drilling.
4) Double check the measurements of the holes inside and out for proper fit of the Therma-coil. If the full length cannot stab straight through the stove wall and heat shields, it may be necessary to drill the heat shields with a larger hole saw than is provided to get the necessary clearance.
5) Using the hole saw while adding oil often, drill through the stove wall.
6) Screw the first nut onto the threads and run it down to a suitable place on the nipple, depending on how much nipple will exit out the back of the stove and how much of the Therma-coil can fit inside the stove.
7) Add the flat washer and gasket washer and place the Thermacoil into the stove and through the holes. On the outside of the stove, place the gasket, flat washer, and nut onto the nipple against the heavy steel stove wall.
8) Tighten as much as possible with a wrench to insure no smoke leakage and a strong mounting.
