Installation
Installation
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
the outside surface temperature of pipe to allow a clearance to combustibles.
A cap must be used at the termination of type L vent chimneys.
For elevations above 5,000 feet above sea level, 4" venting is recommended.
(Unless total length of venting is less than 6' and uses no more than 1 elbow)
Some venting manufacturers offer pellet stove adapters for their venting for
easier installation.
Seal all pipe joints per the pipe manufacturer's instructions.
Install pellet venting through wall and connect vent/pipe to stove
Mark and cut wall for venting penetration on exterior wall (if needed).
Install wall thimble (sold separately) per manufacturer specifications.

reduces performance, and provides a collection point for
ash deposits requiring more frequent cleaning.

RTV silicone)
