1.
Determine the route your vertical vent-
ing will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters,
or other framing will obstruct the vent-
ing system, consider an offset (see Fig-
ure 34) to avoid cutting loadbearing
members.
Note:
Pay special attention to
these installation instructions for re-
quired clearances (air space) to combus-
tibles when passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc.
Do not pack air spaces with insulation.
Also note maximum vertical rise of the
venting system and any maximum hori-
zontal offset limitations. Offsets must
fall within the parameters shown in Fig-
ure 23 on page 10.
2.
Set the stove in desired location. Drop
a plumb line down from the ceiling to
the position of the burner system exit
flue. Mark the center point where the
vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a
small locating hole at this point.
Drop a plumb line from the inside of
the roof to the locating hole in the ceil-
ing. Mark the center point where the
vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a
small locating hole at this point.
Flat Ceiling Installation
1.
Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling us-
ing the locating hole as a center point.
The opening should be framed to
10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside di-
mensions, as shown in Figure 27 on
page 13 using framing lumber the same
size as the ceiling joists. If the area
above the ceiling is an insulated ceil-
ing or a room, nail firestop from the
top side. This prevents loose insulation
from falling into the required clearance
space. Otherwise, install firestop below
the framed hole. The firestop should be
installed with no less than three nails
per side (see Figure 35).
2.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe
and elbows necessary to reach from the
burner system flue up through the
firestop. All connections must be
sealed with high temperature silicone
sealant as specified in the second warn-
ing statement on page 11. Be sure all
pipe and elbow connections are fully
twist-locked (see Figure 26, page 13).

If area above is not a room, install
firestop below framed hole.
If area above is a room, install firestop
above framed hole.
3.
Cut a hole in the roof using the locating
hole as a center point. (Cover any ex-
posed open vent pipes before cutting
hole in roof.) The 10"x10" hole must
be measured on the horizontal; actual
length may be larger depending on the
pitch of the roof. There must be a 1"
clearance from the vent pipe to combus-
tible materials. Frame the opening as
shown in Figure 27 on page 13.
4.
Connect a section of pipe and extend
up through the hole.
Note:
If an offset is needed to avoid
obstructions, you must support the vent
pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for
this purpose (see Figure 34). Whenever
possible, use 45
°
elbows instead of 90
°
elbows. The 45
°
elbow offers less re-
striction to the flow of the flue gases
and intake air.
5.
Place the flashing over the pipe
section(s) extending through the roof.
Secure the base of the flashing to the
roof and framing with roofing nails. Be
sure roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure
34. There must be a 1" clearance from
the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6.
Continue to add pipe sections until the
height of the vent cap meets the mini-
mum building code requirements de-
scribed in Figure 23 on page 10.
Note
:
You must increase vent height for steep
roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining
rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other
similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
the vent height may solve this problem.
7.
Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last
section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe
connection with high temperature sili-
cone sealant as specified in the second
warning statement on page 11.
Note:
If the vent pipe passes through any
occupied areas above the first floor, including
storage spaces and closets, you must enclose
pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclo-
sure with standard construction material. Make
sure and meet the minimum allowable clear-
ances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the
required air spaces with insulation.
