Venting Pipe Cleaning
Low spots and direction changes in the venting system (such as tees and elbows) are
areas for potential fly‐ash and creosote accumulation. INSPECT these areas diligently to
keep the venting system in safe operating condition.
Depending on the specific type of venting system your stove is connected to, it may be
possible to remove the clean‐out tee cover and simply run a pipe brush up the pipe to
remove any fly‐ash accumulation.
Horizontal runs of pipe, such as from the exhaust connection on the stove to the vertical
transition, will accumulate fly ash and should be inspected carefully and brushed clean.
Check the termination cap to be certain it is not clogged or restricted by any fly‐ash
accumulation.
After thoroughly cleaning the venting system, reseal any disassembled seams with high
temperature silicone (Part # AC‐RTV3) if applicable to your venting system.
Inspect seams that were not disassembled to be certain a smoke‐tight seal is still being
made.
After prolonged use, leaks in the venting system can usually be found by searching for
fly‐ash deposits on the outside of the pipe. Carefully check for leaks in the venting
system and seal them accordingly.
Although most pellet venting systems are designed to last a lifetime, pellet fly‐ash can
be corrosive under certain conditions. When cleaning your venting system, examine the
pipe carefully for any signs of deterioration and replace sections that show excessive
wear. It is unlikely that this will ever be a concern, but maintaining your venting system
in safe operating condition is crucial to safe stove operation.
