Installation
You have already made the important decision of choosing
your U.S. Stove Pellet Burning Room Heater; now your next
step is to determine where to install your new pellet stove
heater. To get the most ef
fi cient use of re-circulated heat, you
should consider a room that is centrally located within your
home. Choose a room that is large and open.
It is
Extremely Important to maintain proper clearances from
any combustible surfaces or materials in the room where
your heater will be located. You can
fi nd proper clearance
measurements on page 12 of this manual and on the rating
label of your pellet stove.
The pellet stove can be vented through an exterior wall or
into an existing masonry or metal chimney. The chimney
must be lined if it is over 6” (150mm) in diameter or if it has
a cross-sectional area of over 28 square inches (711mm2).
Venting can pass through the ceiling and roof if approved
pipe is used. Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
DO NOT OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE ATTIC,
GARAGE OR ANY OTHER UNVENTILATED AREA. YOU
MAY OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM A VENTILATED
CRAWL SPACE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER HEATER, FURNACE OR APPLIANCE.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
ONLY USE APPROVED MATERIAL FOR INSTALLATION,
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAM-
AGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
This appliance is certi fi ed for use with listed 3 inch or 4 inch
“PL” or “L” pellet venting products as well as Selkirk’s Direct-
Temp Vent system for pellet burning appliances. The use of
other components other than stated herein could cause bodily
harm, heater damage, and void your warranty.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST VENT INSTALLATION
1. Locate your pellet stove in a location which meets the
requirements of this manual, but in an area where it does
not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad underneath the pel-
let stove. This pad should extend at least 6” (152mm) in
front of the unit.
3. Place the pellet stove approximately 15” (381mm) away
from the interior wall.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe of your unit. This
point should then be extended to the interior wall of your
house. Once you have located the center point, on the
interior wall, cut a 7” (175mm) diameter hole through the
wall.
5. The next step is to install the wall thimble, refer to the
instructions which come with the wall thimble for this step.
6. Install the appropriate length of exhaust vent pipe into the
wall thimble. See steps 11 and 12 when determining the
correct length of exhaust vent to use.
7. Outside Fresh Air is Mandatory when installing this
pellet stove room heater in airtight homes and mobile
homes.
Be sure that the outside air vent has an approved
cap on it to prevent rodents from entering. Be sure to in-
stall in location that won’t become blocked with snow, etc.
8. The air intake pipe is equipped with a butter fl y valve that
is preset to maximum air intake. For optimum operating
ef
fi ciency you may calibrate the butter fl y valve to provide
less intake air. Caution: Too much restriction on the
intake air will cause dirtier burn, therefore, will require
more frequent cleaning.
9. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust outlet of
your pellet stove.
10. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws. Seal the
exhaust vent joint connections with high temperature
silicone sealant.
11. Push the unit straight back to the interior wall, being sure
to maintain the minimum clearances to combustibles 6”
(152mm) to the back of the unit. Seal the annular space
of the wall thimble and around the vent pipe with high
temperature silicone sealant.
12. The exhaust vent pipe must extend at least 12” (300mm)
out past the exterior wall. Seal the annular space of the
wall thimble and around the vent pipe with high tempera-
ture silicone sealant.
13. Install an approved horizontal termination cap or if neces-
sary install a 90° elbow and appropriate length of vertical
venting. An approved vertical vent cap is recommended.
