INSTALLATION
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). Connection
at back of stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp RTV.
Use 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 pipe, 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. 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 exhaust flow and performance
of the stove. Each elbow or tee reduces draft potential
by 30% to 50%. All joints in the vent system must be
fastened by at least 3 screws, and all joints must be
sealed with Hi-Temp RTV silicone sealant to be airtight.
The area where the vent pipe penetrates to the exterior of
the home must be sealed with silicone or other means to
maintain the vapor barrier between the exterior and the
interior of the home. Vent surfaces can get hot enough
to cause burns if touched by children. Noncombustible
shielding or guards may be required.
PELLET VENT TERMINATION
Do not terminate the vent in an enclosed or semi-enclosed
area, such as; carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway, or any other location
that can build up a concentration of fumes. Termination
in one of these areas can also lead to unpredictable
pressure situations with the appliance, and could result
in improper performance and/or malfunction. The
termination must exhaust above the outside air inlet
elevation. The termination must not be located where it
will become plugged by snow or other materials. Do not
terminate the venting into an existing steel or masonry
chimney.
