PELLET FIRE FREESTANDING VENT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE TO THE INSTALLER – Pellet fire “vent systems” are pressurised at all times during
the operation of the appliance, and it is crucial that every joint in the vent system is fully sealed using
suitably rated “high temperature silicone” [Pioneer supply industrial grade RTV silicone suitable for this
purpose] NOTE;
• If joints are not fully sealed ash will blow into the room.
• Prior to commencing installation ensure that;
-
A building consent has been issued for the installation.
-
You are competent and capable to carry out this installation.
- You have read and fully understand these instructions.
- You have a suitable flashing available which is appropriate from the roof material you are
penetrating. You also have a suitable silicon for both the flashing and to seal all the joints of
the vent system.
- You have checked to ensure all the components of the vent system as listed below are
included with the kit;
A - 2 x Black Painted 100mm diameter S/S vent pipes
B - 1 x 100mm diameter S/S vent pipe
C - 1 x “T” piece with cap fitted [cap is removable with gasket seal]
D - 1 x Plastic coated black ceiling plate
E - 1 x Mounting plate with 200mm diameter stub liner attached
F - 1 x 150mm diameter galvanised casing with “slip liner”
G - 1 x Cowl assembly
H - 1 x Centralising bend
I - 1 x Bag of bolts/screws
VENT KIT INSTALLATION INSTRuCTIONS
1. Place the capped “T” on a flat surface, then align the centralizing bend so it is pointing up on a 45
degree angle as illustrated below, smear the inside with silicone then push in the crimped end of the
bend and secure with 3 x s/s rivets.
2. Attach the assembled “T” piece and centralizing bend to the vent outlet of the pellet fire and position
it so the top of the centralizing bend is in the centre of the pellet fire and pointing vertically up
towards the ceiling. (Refer to illustration on page 2) Secure in place using 4 x self tapping screws and
silicone sealant.
3. Position the pellet fire in the desired location, check that the pellet fire and floor protector have
adequate clearances/projections and that the vent system will be clear of ceiling joists, trusses, etc.
(refer to the pellet fire installation manual) Once you have positioned the pellet fire, secure it to the
floor using suitable anchors. Drill through the floor protector and into the floor using the two 8mm
holes provided at the rear of the pellet fire base.
4. At a point directly above the pellet fire vent centre, cut a 200mm square hole through the ceiling and
a 150mm hole through the outer roof lining. Trim out the top face of the ceiling, using timber nogs
creating a square aperture measuring 200mm internally.
5. Fit the mount plate into the ceiling by sliding the 200mm diameter stub casing attached to the
mounting plate up into the ceiling until the two upturned edges of the mount plate rest against the
underside of the ceiling. Square the mount plate to the wall and secure into location with the
4 x screws supplied into the nogs just fitted.
6. Moving onto the roof with the 150mm diameter galvanised casing, lower the slotted end of the casing
into the roof cavity until it locates inside the brackets on the top face of the mounting plate. Return
back into the room and using the two x 6mm bolts and washers supplied. Securely bolt the base of
the 150mm diameter casing to the rivet nuts pre-fitted into the mount plate brackets.
7. Return back onto the roof and using a suitable flashing, weather proof the joint where the 150mm
diameter casing penetrates the roof. (By fitting brackets securing the casing to the roof material will
further improve the rigidity of the installation.)
