Relining old unit without manual
Ran into a Nordic Eric Jr HH the other day vented with SLP out the back and 90’d into the firebox damper opening and the venting dead ended into the clay flue. Combustible insulation was stuffed around the vent in the small cavity.
I can’t find the manual online anywhere and the owner does not have one. We inspected firebox construction clearances and the entire flue and it is in pretty good shape actually. We’re hoping we can just run a new insulated SS liner from top to bottom and tie into new double wall stove pipe connected to the unit. We would also have to extend the flue tile at the chase cap before installing the vent cap as it is flush with the crown (they currently have sheet metal installed to extend the flue).
Is this a good thought process going forward? I’m trying to think through this as an unlisted product because I cannot find a manual anywhere. There is a rating plate on the back and currently it meets all clearances other than ember pad in front of the unit.
