NOTE
: The restriction of not venting more than one appliance
to the same flue applies to the
U.S.
specifically. While it is not
recommended that you use the same chimney for more than
one appliance, in
Canada
certain exceptions may be made.
Be sure to contact your building code inspection official to
see if this option is allowed in your area, and to find out the
specific requirements for such an installation.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-down, and Power Failure:
T
o reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet burning appliance during power failure or shut-
down conditions, the stove must be able to draft naturally
without exhaust blower operation. Negative pressure in the
house will resist this natural draft if not accounted for in the
pellet appliance installation.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This
air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors, which flows
into lower levels of the house. Vents and chimneys into
basements and lower levels of the house can become the
conduit for air supply, and reverse under these conditions.
Outside Air:
Hearth & Home Technologies recommend attaching
outside air in all installations, especially lower level and
main floor locations.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given to
combustion air supply to all combustion appliances. Failure
to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance demands,
may lead to back-drafting of those and other appliances.
When the appliance is side-wall vented: The air intake is best
located on the same exterior wall as the exhaust vent outlet
and located lower on the wall than the exhaust vent outlet.
When the appliance is roof vented: The air intake is best
located on the exterior wall oriented towards the prevailing
wind direction during the heating season.
The outside air connection will supply the demands of the
pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to the
total house demand. House demand may consume some
air needed for the stove, especially during a power failure. It
may be necessary to add additional ventilation to the space in
which the pellet appliance is located. Consult with your local
HVAC professional to determine the ventilation demands for
your house.
The outside air kit consists of a flue stub pipe, fiberglass
gasket, silicone gasket, intake box and a section of flex pipe.
An adjustable chimney intake extension, part # 1-00-674104
is available to be used on masonry chimneys only.
To install outside air, use kit part number 1-00-774280. Follow
the installation instructions provided with the kit.
Vent Configurations:
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-
down conditions, Hearth & Home Technologies strongly
recommends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of
five feet, preferably terminating above the roof line.
• Installing the outside air intake at least four feet below
the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and
to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• Maintain specified clearances to windows, doors, and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits. Run
the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12" from the vent
termination to the exterior wall. If you see deposits
developing on the wall, you may need to extend this
distance to accommodate your installation conditions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility
for, nor does the warranty extend to, smoke damage
caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under
shut-down or power failure conditions.
Do not connect this unit to any air distribution duct
or system.
