VENTING

Before venting, consult vent manufacturer's specifications
and recommendations for all venting installations.
The following installation guidelines must be followed to ensure
conformity with both the safety listing of this stove and to local
building codes.
Note: Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA -8365.

TYPE OF VENT

The pellet venting pipe (also known as L vent) is constructed of
two layers with air space between the layers. This air space acts
as an insulator and reduces outside surface temperature of pipe
to allow a clearance to combustibles.
A UL listed 3" or 4" type L 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" to 4" adapter for 4" pipe. A cap
must be used at the termination of type L vent chimneys. For
elevations above 2,500 feet above sea level, a 4" L is required.

PELLET VENT INSTALLATION

Vent termination MUST exhaust above air inlet elevation.
It is recommended to install at least three feet (3') of vertical
pellet vent pipe. This vertical pipe will create some natural draft
to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance
shutdown and will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard from exposure to high temperatures.
The installation must include a clean out tee to enable collection
of fly ash and to permit periodic cleaning of the exhaust system.
Total length of horizontal vent must not exceed 10 feet. The
maximum recommended vertical venting height is 18 feet.
All joints for pellet vent are required to be
fastened with at least three screws and all pellet
vent connections (including adapters, elbows,
etc.) should be sealed airtight by injecting 500°
F. RTV silicone into the gap between sections.
The area where the vent pipe goes through 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.
