CLEARANCES AND APPLICATIONS
DuraVent’s PelletVent and PelletVent for
Multi-Fuel is listed by Underwriters
Laboratories as vent for listed oil-, pellet-,
(multi-fuel) appliances. PelletVent is also
listed as a masonry reliner, in which case
the minimum clearance is 0” from vent to
masonry, and 0” clearance from the masonry
to nearby combustibles. Never fill any
required clearance space with insulation
or any other materials. Combustible
materials include (but are not limited to)
lumber, plywood,sheetrock, plaster and
lath, furniture, curtains, electrical wiring,
and building insulation of any kind. In the
United States the minimum clearance to
combustibles from PelletVent is 3” for oil,
pellet or other biofuel applications.
A major
cause of vent related fires is failure to
maintain required clearances (air spaces)
to combustible materials. It is of the
utmost Importance that double wall pellet
vent be installed only in accordance with
these Instructions.
For other components not listed
(components not in contact with exhaust
gases), use a regular PelletVent component
(examples: Support Boxes, Tee Support
Bracket, Flashing).

Never use a vent with an inside diameter
that is smaller than the appliance flue outlet.
6. Multistory: Where PelletVent passes
through the ceiling, use DuraVent Firestop/
Support assembly.

PelletVent placement: When deciding
the location of your stove and vent, try to
minimize the alteration and reframing of
structural components of the building.
