CENTER FLUE ADAPTER
The center flue adapter is an optional item used to center the pellet vent on the pellet stove. It
allows for a more compact installation than using offsets on the pellet vent. To install the center
flue adapter, follow the directions below.
1.
When determining the final position of the stove, take into consideration the
location of the center flue adapter once it is installed. It is best to install the center
flue adapter before determining the location of the stove, making the final
alignment with the pellet vent more accurate. The center flue adapter allows for
the use of 3" pellet vent or 6" singlewall or doublewall stovepipe. Use the
appropriate collar for the vent type used.
2.
Insert the center flue adapter onto the pellet stove and align it so the length of the
adapter is vertical. On the center flue adapter where it connects to the exhaust
pipe there are three holes on the outward, top, and bottom side. Make a mark on
the exhaust tube where these holes line up. Make sure the pipe adapter is all the
way against the exhaust pipe and properly aligned when making these marks.
Take the center flue adapter off and drill a 9/64" hole where each of the three
marks where placed on the exhaust pipe.
3.
Apply a high-temperature silicone sealant (type 500 degree RTV) around the
outside perimeter of the exhaust pipe near the end and slide the center flue adapter
into place. Attach the center flue adapter to the exhaust pipe by sliding it into
place and screwing in the three sheet-metal screws through the center flue adapter
and into the holes that were drilled in step 4. Inspect the connection between the
exhaust pipe and center flue adapter for an airtight seal. Apply more high-
temperature silicone sealant if necessary.
4.
The center flue adapter has a sheet metal bracket used to secure the center flue
adapter to the stove. It attaches to the back of the stove in two locations. Drill the
9/64" holes in the back of the stove. Drill only enough to penetrate the first layer
of metal. Screw in the remaining two sheet-metal screws with a phillips-head
screwdriver.
5.
The center flue adapter can now be attached to the vent. Make sure to seal the
connection between the center flue adapter and vent with a high-temperature
silicone sealant (type 500 degree RTV).
