STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place ECOJOHN™ Sr: Position ECOJOHN™ Sr according to the installation instructions. The flue outlet collar should be placed between the rafters or joists above, if possible.
  1. Frame Support Opening: Drop a plumb bob to the center of Sr’s flue outlet and mark this center point on the ceiling. Cut a hole in the ceiling for the Firestop or Firestop Radiation Shield.
  1. Install Support: For installation into a flat ceiling, you may use a Firestop.
  1. Frame Openings: Frame opening in ceiling. The opening is to hold the Firestop Radiation Shield and Attic Insulation Shield.
  1. Cut Roof Opening: Cut an opening in the roof directly above the opening below, and at least 4 inches larger than the chimney’s outside diameter to provide at least a 2-inch clearance all around the chimney. The chimney must be centered within the opening and maintain the 2-inch clearance to combustibles.
  1. Install Firestop Radiation Shield: A Firestop Radiation Shield is required in multistory installations at each floor penetration above that the Firestop is located. Note: a Firestop Radiation Shield is not installed where the chimney penetrates through the roof. The Firestop Radiation Shield is installed on the underside of the ceiling.
  1. Assembly Chimney Sections: Lower the female end of the first Chimney Section in the Support Box (if you use one). It will twist-lock clockwise onto the male end of the Support Box. Turn Pipe Sections firmly clockwise to lock them together. Sheet metal screws are not required, but they may be used to reinforce the connection, if desired. Use only 1/2” (or shorter) sheet metal screws. Do not penetrate the inner liner of the chimney.
  1. Install Attic Insulation Shield: Install the Attic Insulation Shield where the chimney passes into an attic. Its purpose is to prevent debris and insulation from getting too close to the chimney. If the chimney passes into the attic, install the Attic Insulation Shield as follows:
    1. If the Firestop Radiation Shield extends above the attic floor, no modifications are necessary. The Firestop Radiation Shield will fit inside the Attic Insulation Shield.
    2. Assemble Chimney Sections until at least 18 inches of chimney extends above the Firestop Radiation Shield.
    3. Extend the Firestop Radiation Shield tube extension, and secure in place using sheet metal screws.
    4. Slip the Attic Insulation Shield over the Chimney and Firestop Radiation Shield until the base sits squarely on the framed opening.
    5. Secure the Attic Insulation Shield to the top of the framed opening.

  2. Attach Flashing: In new constructions, assemble the Chimney Sections to a point above the roof, then slip the Flashing before extending the chimney above the roof. Allow space to permit sliding the next Chimney Section up through the Flashing. Always insure the chimney remains vertical (use level), and that at least a 2-inch clearance to combustible materials is maintained all around. Install the upper edge of the Flashing under the roofing. Nail to the roof along the upper edge of the Flashing. Be sure to follow local building practices, as needed. Seal all nail heads with a non-hardening waterproof sealant. Do not put screws through the Flashing into the Chimney Pipe.
  1. Finish Top: Apply a high-temperature (500°F), non-hardening waterproof sealant around the chimney at the point where the Storm Collar will meet the chimney just above the Flashing. Slide the Storm Collar down over the chimney to the top of the Flashing. Tighten and seal the Storm Collar against the sealant. After installing sufficient Chimney Sections to meet the height requirement, attach the Chimney Fan and Chimney Cap onto the top of the chimney by holding the collar of the cap and twist locking it clockwise onto the chimney. Use and Extended Roof Bracket if the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof.
  1. Connect Toilet to Chimney: Use the Connector Clamp to secure the Chimney Section with the Pipe coming up from the toilet. Tightening it with a screwdriver.
  1. Add Insulation: Surround the Connector Clamp with insulation.
  1. Connect Cover Clamp: Connect the Cover Clamp so it covers the insulation around the Connector Clamp. CHIMNEY INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE
  1. Connect the Power: Connect two 12V DC batteries or two transformers for 110V AC.
  1. Connect Propane: Connect your Propane connection.
  1. Do a Leak Test: Before starting up the unit, you must do a leak test. Use soap and water to create bubbles. Add the bubbles to Propane connections and copper tubes to determine any possible gas leak. INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE AND THE TOILET IS READY FOR USE.
