FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS
A. ASSEMBLING PEDESTAL OR LEG SET
If using a pedestal, follow the instructions inside the units pedestal
set. If using cast legs, follow the instructions inside the units leg
set. Legs are installed by using the four bolts provided in the kit
into the four holes under the stove at each corner, thread on nuts
from the top and tighten. Make sure to save the hole plugs. NOTE:
If converting from legs to pedestal the hole plugs must be installed
in the unused holes.
B. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL
NOTE: Follow PL-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown.
2. Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent.
3. Always maintain 3” (77 mm) clearance from combustible
materials.
4. Install PL-Vent wall thimble per PL-Vent manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6” (153
mm) beyond exterior walls. An 8 foot (2.4 m) vertical pipe run
is suggested where possible to reduce the possibility of smoke
spillage in the event of a loss of negative pressure.
6. Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening
waterproof mastic.
7. Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases
can ignite trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard to children.
Exhaust gases can reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause
serious burns if touched.
Locate terminations: a) not less than 3 feet (0.9 m) above any forced
air inlet located within 10 feet (3 m); b) not less than 4 feet (1.2 m)
below or horizontally from, or one foot above, any door, window or
gravity air inlet into any building; c) not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) from
an adjacent building and not less than 7 feet (2.1 m) above grade
when located adjacent to a public walkway.
C. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM
NOTE: Follow PL-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º elbow and a
clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet
to the rear center of the stove.
OPTION: Install PL-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate
stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling.
Install ceiling support and PL-Vent pipe per PL-Vent manufacturer’s
instructions.
1. Always maintain 3” (77 mm) clearance from combustible
materials. When passing through additional floors or ceilings,
always install firestop spacer.
2. After lining up for hole in roof, cut either a round or square hole
in roof, always 3” (77 mm) larger all the way around pipe. Install
upper edge and sides of flashing under roofing materials, nail
to the roof along upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail
heads with non-hardening waterproof mastic.
3. Apply non-hardening, waterproof mastic where the storm collar
will meet the vent and flashing. Slide storm collar down until it
sits on the flashing. Seal and install cap.
