FLUE SYSTEM
Caution: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing
through combustible walls and ceilings.
Be sure to check local codes in your area.
NOTE: See the installation drawing later in this manual (Illustration 1).
This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls combustion air through the
burnpot and pushes the exhaust air out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to the flue
system other than the way explained in this manual, it will not function properly.
For any of
these installations, keep in mind that each elbow used reduces draft by up to 30%; it is good practice
to add three feet (3’) of vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2
nd
elbow used, add
six feet (6’) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.
Corn Vent Pipe
The UL approved corn vent pipe that we recommend is a twist lock system; however, it is still
recommended that high temperature silicone (our Part Number
AC-RTV3
)
or aluminum duct seal
tape be used at each joint. England’s Stove Works recommends the use of Dura-Vent
twist-lock
pipe (if you use other pipe, consult your local building codes and/or building inspectors, and secure
each joint with at least three screws—see “Important Information” section).
Do not
use “B” vent gas
pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The corn pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning and
should be checked several times during the burning season — corn vent pipe is not furnished with
the unit and must be purchased separately.
Do not install a flue damper of any kind in this
system, and do not connect this unit to a flue system serving another heating appliance.
Through the Wall
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the
exhaust adapter is at least eighteen inches (18”) above ground level, a straight section of corn pipe
can be used to initially pass through the wall (see Illustration 1). Your dealer or our factory should be
able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will include a wall thimble
that will allow the proper clearances through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure, a three-
inch (3”) clearance should be maintained to the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on
the pipe that extends through the wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3’) of vertical pipe
with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point, a one-foot (1’) section and horizontal cap
will complete the installation (see Illustration 1).
A wall strap should be placed just below the last 90-degree section to make the system more
stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it is recommended the installation be taller than
three feet (3’) to get above the snowdrift line.
The same type installation can be used if your stove is below ground level by adding the clean-
out section and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. However, we recommend
basement installation be performed only by a professional installer. For basement installations, a 3”
(three inch) pipe and coupler must be used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of
three feet (3’) must be maintained outside the dwelling from the ground to the Corn Vent Exhaust
Pipe.
