Re: 511 N. Herald Rd. Kiln, Permit Application #09001529
Date: June 8, 2009
Dear Mr. Loffredo,
In conducting a preliminary review of your submitted plans, I respectfully request a clarification
on the items listed below.
1) Please provide detailed drawings showing the termination point and dimensions of the
exhaust pipe for the Kiln as per IMC, section 503.5.4 for medium -heat appliances. The
code states it shall extend at least 10 feet higher than any portion of any building within
25 feet.
2) Please provide details showing non-combustible chimney supports and measurements
indicating location and spacing of supports for the proposed chimney as per NFPA 211,
section 8.1.6.2.
3) Please provide details indicating separation distances to combustible construction as per
NFPA 211, section 8.3.3.1.1, which states unlisted metal chimneys used for medium -
heat appliances shall have a clearance of not less than 24 inches from any wood frame
construction. Clearances from non-combustible construction could be 2 inches with
chimney diameters less than 18 inches and 4 inches of clearance for chimneys larger
than 18 inches.
4) Please provide details of the required chimney liner as per NFPA 211, section 8.3.1.
5) Please indicate if a connector is going to be utilized, if so; please provide details of the
proposed connector as per NFPA 211, section 9.2.4.
6) Please provide information for developing a flow through the proposed chimney to
remove flue gases and create a sufficient draft per NFPA 211, section 4.1.1.
7) Please provide details showing amount of ventilation air that is required as per WAC
51-13, Table 3-4. The closest category in Table 3-4 would be "Warehouses @ .05
cfin/per sq. ft." for ventilation air.
8) Please provide details for combustion air to the kiln burner elements and what method
is going to be utilized as per IFGC, section 304.1 and 304.11.
9) Please provide dimensions of height for the ignition source from grade or finished floor
as per IFGC, section 305.3, which requires ignition sources to be a minimum of 18
inches above grade or finished floor.
10) Since the Kiln and chimney are unlisted appliances as referenced by the codes, it
requires approval to allow the appliance to be installed as per IFGC, sections 305.1,
301.3, and 105. To obtain approval is to have the unit tested by a certified testing
organization or have a design professional evaluate the appliance to include the
chimney and submit their analysis for approval under "Alternate Methods and
Materials."
Details on these points would expedite the plan review process to gain issuance of the
expected permit. If there are any questions or information that I could help you with, please
do not hesitate to call me at (509) 688-0051. I look foreword to assisting you through this
process.

Lighting the gas kiln is a fairly simple procedure. Remember to use caution and common
sense. If you have any questions, don't guess, consult your dealer or give us a call.
This step-by-step is for a Baso flame safety system with a standing pilot.
Before you light up-
• Ensure that the area around the kiln is free of combustibles (paper, flammables,
etc)
• Make sure that the main gas valve and burner control valves are in the off position
• Visually inspect the burner and pilot assembly for obstructions, as well as, the
burner ports into the kiln
• Open burner shutters for an oxidizing flame
• Open flue damper
Ready to light the pilot-
• Turn on main gas valve, leave burner control valves off, make sure pilot valve is
on.
• Turn on auto igniter, if kiln is equipped with this option
• While depressing red button on Baso valve, light pilot bar (use long matches or
fireplace lighter) if pilot does not light immediately, release button and wait for
gas to dissipate, then repeat
• If pilot does not light properly, close main valve and contact your dealer
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BYPASS THE SAFETY SYSTEM!
• When pilot is lit, check to see that the flame is carried across the entire pilot bar
• Hold button until it can be released without the pilot flame going out (20 — 60
seconds)
• Repeat the pilot lighting steps for all pilot assemblies
• Adjust the pilot flame at the Baso valve
Ready to light the burners-
• Recheck pilots to make sure they are all lit completely
• Turn on burner control valve until burners ignite and achieve desired flame
• Repeat for each burner assembly
Kiln shut down-
• Turn off burner control valves
• Close damper
• Turn off main gas

HARD BRICKS

The diagram is a typical hard brick arrangement for the first layer of shelf supports. The
idea is to create a channel to the flue down the middle of the floor. Notice that the
spacing between the bricks making the channel decreases closer the flue exit. Place the
hard bricks on edge, adjusting the arrangement for your particular shelf pattern. Try to
maintain a 9 -inch channel from the flue to the opposite end of the kiln. You want the flue
to draw heat underneath the shelf stack from the opposite end. This will help to equalize
the temperature in the kiln.
This is just a typical arrangement. Shelf stacking varies greatly, as does the shape and
volume of the loading. Cone packs placed throughout the kiln will give you an idea of
how your kiln breathes. You should expect to alter the stacking pattern at least a few
times until you achieve an even firing.

Procedure
WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard. Avoid personal injury
or property damage by nmaking sure the valve
duictions properly and there are no gas leaks.
Follow this checkout and startup procedure 3efore
leaving the installation.
