PREFERRED PELLET VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
• The stove vent must terminate on the outside of the building. Horizontal terminations must extend a minimum of 12” from
the wall. Vertical terminations must protrude a minimum 24” from the roof surface. In addition, all clearances listed below
must be met. SEE FIGURE 7.
• Must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering) or a 45° downturn with rodent screen.
• If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, we suggest using an approved house shield to prevent soot from
building up on the side of the house.
• A vent must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material.
A: A Minimum 4’ clearance below or beside any door or window
that opens. (This clearance may be reduced to 18” if using out-
side air). We recommend the door or window be kept closed
during operation. Minimum 1’ clearance below or beside any
window that does not open.
