C. Negative Pressure

E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection 

NOTICE:

 Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no 

responsibility for the improper performance of the 

chimney system caused by:

•  Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

•  Down drafts

•  Tight sealing construction of the structure

•  Mechanical exhausting devices

NOTE:

 Follow venting manufacturers recommendations 

for sealing pipe joints.

NOTE:

 The appliance exhaust outlet is designed to 

accommodate 3 inch venting. Use of 4 inch venting 

requires the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust vent increaser 

in addition to any other venting components needed, sold 

separately.

USE 

ONLY 

RECOMMENDED 

VENTING 

COMPONENTS;  OTHERWISE  MAKESHIFT  PARTS 

MAY  RESULT  IN  PROPERTY  DAMAGE,  PERSONAL 

INJURY, OR DEATH. 

WARNING

1. 

Chimney & Connector:

 Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm) 

diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be 

vented vertically or horizontally.

2. 

Mobile Home:

 Approved for all Listed pellet vent. 

A  Quadra-Fire  Outside  Air  Kit  must  be  used  with 

manufactured home installations.

3. 

Install  vent  at  clearances  specified  by  the  vent 

manufacturer.

4.  Seal exhaust venting system to the unit with High Temp 

500ºF RTV silicone sealant. Secure the venting system 

to the unit with at least (3) screws. All pellet vent pipe 

must be secured together either by means provided by 

the pipe manufacturer or by (3) screws at each joint.

5.  DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST 

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS Appliance.

6.  DO  NOT  CONNECT  THIS Appliance  TO A  CHIMNEY 

FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available 

for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in 

lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

•  Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

•  Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water 

appliances and other combustion appliances

•  Clothes dryers

•  Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

•  Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

•  Upper level air leaks such as: 

-  Recessed lighting

-  Attic hatch

-  Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

•  Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing 

winds during the heating season

• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion 

appliances and exhaust equipment

•  Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not 

located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

•  Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or 

small isolated spaces

•  Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

•  Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

•  Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams 

taped or sealed

D. Draft 

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent an appliance 

successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all 

combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the 

chimney.

Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building 

envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially 

during lighting and die-down of the fire.

Considerations for successful draft include:

•  Preventing negative pressure

•  Location of appliance and chimney

Risk of Asphyxiation! 

Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion 

fumes and soot.
