VENTING: DETERMINING MATERIALS
TYPE OF MATERIALS:
1. PL Vent must be used for venting all Freestanding stoves and the Zero Clearance Fireplace.
2. PL Vent must be used for all Inserts.
Exception: Single wall stainless steel may be used
inside a fireplace or fireplace chimney.
(No clearances to combustibles are needed on single
wall stainless steel adaptors, rigid or flex pipe installed within a fireplace or inside a chim-
ney.)
3. A clean out “tee” (PL Vent or “Quick-Connect Exhaust”) must be installed directly to the
stove and at the bottom of each vertical run of the exhaust system. These tee’s are to assist in
periodically cleaning the pipe. Single or double clean-out tee’s may be used. The exhaust
system must be installed so the entire system can be cleaned without disassembly.
NOTE: ADHERE TO THE PL VENT CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REQUIRED.
STRICTLY OBSERVE THE PL VENT MANUFACTURER’S SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS.
QUANTITY OF MATERIALS:
1. It is recommended that the vent system be installed with a
minimum of three feet (3’) of
vertical rise
above the stove exhaust port.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE NATURAL DRAFT THAT RESULTS FROM A VERTICAL RISE
MAY RESULT IN SMOKE BEING RELEASED INTO THE HOUSE WHEN ELECTRICITY TO
THE UNIT IS INTERRUPTED WHILE BURNING OR SMOLDERING PELLETS REMAIN IN
THE BURN GRATE.
2. Additional vertical exhaust venting should be provided when using:
a. More than one (1) elbow or tee; and/or
b. Horizontal runs of over three (3) feet.
3. For a venting system ending in a horizontal run, the exhaust pipe must be terminated by a
listed end cap or a PL vent elbow (45 or 90 degrees). Note: End caps or elbows must vent
exhaust gases away from the building.
4. For termination above the building roof line a rain cap is required.
5. The exhaust pipe on all stoves is 2.95” O.D. to accommodate a 3” pellet stove pipe adaptor.
Your installation may require the use of 4” vent. (3” to 4” adapters are available for both PL
Vent and Single Wall Vent.) Use the following guidelines:
