INSTALLATION
• Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home/
transportable building installation. See Outside
Air Supply section and your dealer for purchasing.
• Check with your local building officials as other
codes may apply.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
A compatible appliance adapter is required for the
proper venting installation of this unit. Purchase the
appropriate appliance adapter from your preferred
venting company prior to starting the ventilation
process.
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED
BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A
VENT SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR
STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The following installation guidelines must be
followed to ensure conformity with both the safety
listing of this stove and to local building codes. Do
not use makeshift methods or compromise in the
installation.
IMPORTANT:
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEGATIVE
DRAFT SYSTEM THAT PULLS AIR THROUGH
THE BURN POT AND PUSHES THE EXHAUST
OUT OF THE DWELLING. IF THIS UNIT IS
CONNECTED TO A FLUE SYSTEM OTHER THAN
THE WAY EXPLAINED IN THIS MANUAL, IT
WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical
pipe outside the home. This will create some natural
draft to reduce the possibility of smoke or odor
during appliance shutdown and keep exhaust from
causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people
or shrubs to high temperatures. The maximum
recommend vertical venting height is 12-feet for
3-inch type "PL" vent. Total length of horizontal
vent must not exceed 4-feet. This could cause back
pressure. Use no more than 180 degrees of elbows
(two 90-degree elbows, or two 45-degree and one
90-degree elbow, etc.) to maintain adequate draft.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount of
draft in your chimney depends on the length of the
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and
other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in
draft may cause backpuffing into the room and
'plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft will
cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft. Take into account the
chimney's location to ensure it is not too close
to neighbours or in a valley which may cause
unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
PELLET VENT TYPE
A certified 3-inch or 4-inch type "PL" pellet vent
exhaust system must be used for installation and
attached to the pipe connector provided on the
back of the stove (use a 3-inch to 4-inch adapter
for 4-inch pipe). The connection at the back of
the stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp RTV. Use
a 4-inch vent if the vent height is over 12-feet or if
the installation is over 2,500 feet above sea level.
We recommend the use of Simpson Dura-Vent® or
Metal-Fab® pipe (if you use other pipes, consult your
local building codes and/or building inspectors). Do
not use Type-B Gas Vent pipe or galvanized pipe
with this unit. The pellet vent pipe is designed to
disassemble for cleaning and should be checked
several times during the burning season. The pellet
vent pipe is not furnished with the unit and must
be purchased separately.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
The installation must include a clean-out tee to
enable collection of fly ash and to permit periodic
cleaning of the exhaust system. 90-degree elbows
accumulate fly ash and soot thereby reducing
