Determining where to install your new pellet stove heater.
To get the most efficient use of re-circulated heat, you
should consider a room that is centrally located within
your home. Choose a room that is large and open. It is
Extremely Important to maintain proper clearances from
any combustible surfaces or materials in the room where
your heater will be located. You can find proper clearance
measurements in this manual and on the rating label of
your pellet stove. The pellet stove can be vented through
an exterior wall or into an existing masonry or metal
chimney if “PL” vent pipe is used throughout existing
chimney. Venting can pass through the ceiling and roof
if approved pipe is used. Where passage through a wall,
or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
WARNING:
• DO NOT OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE
ATTIC, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER UNVENTILATED
AREA. YOU MAY OBTAIN COMBUSTION AIR
FROM A VENTILATED CRAWL SPACE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER HEATER, FURNACE
OR APPLIANCE.
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• ONLY USE APPROVED MATERIAL FOR
INSTALLATION, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR
EVEN DEATH.
This appliance is certified for use with listed 3 inch or
4 inch “PL” pellet venting products. The use of other
components other than stated herein could cause bodily
harm, heater damage, and void your warranty.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST VENT
INSTALLATION
1. Locate your pellet stove in a location which meets the
requirements of this manual, but in an area where it
does not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad underneath the
pellet stove. This pad should extend at least 6” (152
mm) in front of the unit.
3. Place the pellet stove approximately 15” (381 mm)
away from the interior wall.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe of your unit.
This point should then be extended to the interior
wall of your house. Once you have located the center
point, on the interior wall, cut a 7” (175 mm) diameter
hole through the wall.
5. The next step is to install the wall thimble, refer to
the instructions which come with the wall thimble for
this step.
6. Install the appropriate length of exhaust vent pipe
into the wall thimble. See steps 11 and 12 when
determining the correct length of exhaust vent to use.
7.
Outside Fresh Air is Mandatory when installing
this pellet stove room heater in airtight homes and
mobile home/transportable buildings. Be sure that
the outside air vent has an approved cap on it to
prevent rodents from entering. Be sure to install
in location that won’t become blocked with snow,
etc.
8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust outlet
of your pellet stove.
9. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws.
Seal the exhaust vent joint connections with high
temperature silicone sealant.
10. Push the unit straight back to the interior wall,
being sure to maintain the minimum clearances to
combustibles 2” (51 mm) to the back of the unit. Seal
the annular space of the wall thimble and around the
vent pipe with high temperature silicone sealant.
11. The exhaust vent pipe must extend at least 12” (300
mm) out past the exterior wall. Seal the annular
space of the wall thimble and around the vent pipe
with high temperature silicone sealant.
12. Install an approved horizontal termination cap or if
necessary install a 90° elbow and appropriate length
of vertical venting. An approved vertical vent cap is
recommended.
