Venting
Warning: Ensure your venting system (chimney connector, and chimney) are in good condition and
kept clean.
The minimum horizontal clearance to vegetation and other exterior combustibles such as mulch is 36” as
measured from the center of the outlet or termination cap. This 36” radius continues to grade up to a minimum
of 7 feet below the outlet.
The longer the vent pipe and more elbows used in the system, the greater the flow resistance. Therefore, we
recommend using as few elbows as possible, and 15 feet or less, of vertical vent pipe. The maximum horizontal
run should not exceed 10 feet. If more than 15 feet of pipe, or two 90° elbows are required, vent pipe size
should increase to 4”, as larger piping offers less flow resistance. Maximum recommended vertical vent for 4
inch pipe is 30 feet.
Please note that pellets are a wood product and soot may occur during startup while the firebox approaches
sufficient temperature to sustain complete combustion of fuel.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal- The products of combustion will contain small particles of
flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to
some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be
inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary. To reduce the risk of a chimney fire,
remove any soot or flyash if an accumulation of 1/8” (3mm) or more is found.
Please follow venting manufacturer’s recommendations and required installation procedures. All joints for
connector pipe shall be required to be fastened with at least three screws. If vented horizontally, joints shall be
made gastight with at least three screws and high temperature silicone.
Before considering your installation to be complete, perform a leak test on your venting. Leaks are easiest to
see during startup. Look for leaks at the vent pipe joints. Use of an incense stick is recommended to find leaks.
Though unlikely with pellet burning appliances, incomplete combustion of biofuels can produce Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is a colorless, odorless gas. Exposure to high concentrations of Carbon Monoxide can
result in injury or death. Install a CO detector (recommended), and keep your appliance and venting maintained
according to the instructions in this manual.
Important: Use all specified components and methods for the installation. Do not use components
that are not specified in this manual. Failure to use specified components and methods could void
your warranty, and can cause malfunction or damage to the unit or structure.
Do not modify the appliance to accomplish installation. Any modifications will void your warranty.
