Vent Information
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector
: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home:
Approved for all Listed pellet vent. Use Listed
double wall fl ue connector. A Quadra-Fire outside air kit must
be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential:
Use 24 gauge single wall fl ue connector or
Listed double wall fl ue connector to Class A Listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International Build-
ing Code (ICC) standards for solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5.
Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at least
3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least
3 screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use approved
venting specifi cally designed for corn. Follow the instruc-

Substitute or damaged vent components may impair
safe operation.
•
Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances
and instructions when installing venting system.
WARNING
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1
.
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
It
is strongly recommended that at least 60 inches
(1524mm) of vertical pipe be installed when appli-
ance is vented directly through a wall
. This will create
a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of
smoke or odor venting into the home during a power
outage. It will also keep exhaust from causing a nui-
sance or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high
temperatures. The safest and preferred venting method
is to extend the vent vertically through the roof.
2
.
Distance from
doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4
.
Distance between
bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.
5
.
Distance to combustible
materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl sof-
fi ts.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
NOTICE:
In Canada when using a factory-built chimney
it must be safety listed,
or conforming to
