GUIDELINES FOR EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEMS DESIGN

•
A listed 3” or 4” type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for FREESTANDING 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.
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area, such as; carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sundeck or porch, narrow walkway or close area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a
stairwell, covered breezeway etc.
Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be
required. Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust vent of this unit.
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least 5 ft. of vertical pipe be installed
when the appliance is vented directly through a wall. This will create some natural draft to prevent the possibility of
smoke or odor during appliance shutdown and to keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing
people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent
through the roof. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
Distance from doors and windows, gravity or ventilation air inlet into building:
Not less than 4 ft./1.2m below, 4ft./1.2m horizontally from, 1ft./305mm above(This does not apply if the
windows are non-opening or have been fixed so they cannot open.)
It is recommended that only an authorized installer install your pellet/corn stove. The following installation
guidelines must be followed to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this stove and to local building codes.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
These clearances must be maintained and may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority
