VENTING
Before venting, consult vent manufacturer
’
s
specifications and recommendations for all venting
installations.
The following installation guidelines must be followed
to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of
this stove and to local building codes
.
TYPE OF VENT
The pellet venting pipe (also known as L vent) is
constructed of two layers with air space between
the layers. This air space acts as an insulator and
reduces outside surface temperature of pipe to allow
a clearance to combustibles. A cap must be used at
the termination of type L vent chimneys. For
elevations above 2,500 feet above sea level, a 4
”
L
is required.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
Vent termination MUST exhaust above air inlet
elevation. It is recommended to install at least three feet
(3’) of vertical
pellet vent pipe. This vertical pipe will create some
natural draft to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during
appliance shutdown and will keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard from exposure to high temperatures.
The installation must include a clean out tee to enable
collection of fly ash and to permit periodic cleaning of
the exhaust system. Total length of horizontal vent
must not exceed 10 feet. The
maximum recommended vertical
venting height is 18 feet.
All joints for pellet vent are required to be
fastened with at least three screws and all
pellet
vent connections (including adapters,
elbows,
etc.) should be sealed airtight
by injecting 500 F. RTV silicone into the
gap between sections.
The area where the vent pipe goes
through to the
exterior of the home must be
sealed with silicone or other means to maintain the
vapor barrier between the exterior and the interior of
the home.
