CHAPTER 8
INSTALLATION OF THE HEATMOR™ FURNACE
Installation should be performed by a qualied installer and will comply with all the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction over the installation.
Principles
1) Need to have an airtight seal between the concrete base and the perimeter of the rebox base.
2) Need to seal the perimeter of the entire HEATMOR™ so rodents are not able to nd a home inside
the HEATMOR™.
3) Need to lift the HEATMOR™ without damaging it.
Equipment Required
1) It is not possible to lift a HEATMOR™ with the forks of a forklift under the
HEATMOR™. It must be lifted from the top, by the lifting hook. A crane or
heavy backhoe works best, although a heavy duty farm tractor is acceptable.
a) With a farm tractor, extreme care must be taken to prevent the
HEATMOR™ from swinging and causing damage to the HEATMOR™.
Placing the HEATMOR™ on the Concrete Base
2) Before setting the HEATMOR™ onto the concrete base, it is a
good idea to place a solid sheet of the proper “reective air foil” (also called
bubble foil) between the concrete and the HEATMOR™. This will absorb ridges
in the concrete and make it easier to apply caulking around the inside
perimeter of the base of the HEATMOR™. This reective foil will also reect escaping heat
up into the sand, and help prevent air leaks into the rebox if cement cracks.
3) Make sure the total area of the base (where the sand is going) is on solid
concrete. Do not let the base extend past the hole in the concrete where the
lines come in.
4) After the HEATMOR™ is in place perform the following;
Caulking around the Firebox Base
a) One person should get into the HEATMOR™.
b) Apply a substantial bead of caulking around the entire inside perimeter of the base. This
will give an airtight seal so no air will seep through the sand. This should require about three
tubes of High Temperature Silicone.
Caulking around the Outside Perimeter of HEATMOR™
c) With a sharp knife, trim any excess bubble foil
that extends past the base of the HEATMOR™.
d) Apply a bead of caulking around the entire outside
Lift Hook
