NSTALLATION
:
Vent installation: install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed spaces,
or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment. Only use venting of L or PL type with an inside diameter of 3 or 4 inches (7.6 or 10.1 cm).
1. Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows
installation with the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad (where necessary).
3. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set
the unit on it.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have located
the center point on the wall, refer to pellet vent manufacturer installation instructions for correct hole
size and clearance to combustibles.
5. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble. Maintain an effective vapour
barrier in accordance with local building codes.
6. Install a length of 3” (76 mm) or 4” (101 mm) vent pipe into the wall thimble. The pipe should install
easily into the thimble.
7. Install the fresh air intake (see

)
.
8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal the connection with high
temperature silicone.
9. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 2” (5 cm) clearance from the back of the stove to
the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone.
10. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another length
of pipe (PL type) to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place
high temperature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.
11. Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination. The
stainless steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However,
when the vent terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within

several feet, a 45° elbow can be used as
termination. The elbow must be turned
down to prevent rain from entering.
NOTE:
• Some horizontal through wall installations
may require a “T” and 3 to 5 feet (91 to 152
cm) of vertical pipe outside the building to
help naturally draft in the unit.
• This may be required if a proper burn cannot
be maintained, after the stove has been tested
and the airflow set.
• This is due to the back pressure in the exhaust
caused by airflow around the structure.
• All sections of pipe must have three (3) screws
evenly spaced and all horizontal vent sections
must have a bead of high temperature silicone
installed on the male end of the pipe before
installation to create a gas tight seal.
