THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION
(RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)
Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter
to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at
least 18 in.(457mm) above ground level, a straight section of
pellet vent pipe can be used through the wall.
Your heater dealer should be able to provide you with a kit
that will handle most of this installation, which will include a
wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance through a
combustible wall. Once outside the structure, a 3 in.(76mm)
clearance should be maintained from the outside wall and a
clean out tee should be placed on the pipe with a 90-degree
turn away from the house. At this point, a 3ft (0.91m)
(minimum) section of pipe should be added with a horizontal
cap, which would complete the installation.
A support bracket should be placed just below the
termination cap or one every 4ft (1.22m) to make the system
more stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it is
recommended that the installation be taller than 3ft (0.91m)
to get above the snowdrift line. This same installation can be
used if your heater is below ground level by simply adding the
clean-out section and vertical pipe inside until ground level
is reached. With this installation you have to be aware of the
snowdrift line, dead grass, and leaves. We recommend a 3ft
(0.91m) minimum vertical rise on the inside or outside of the
house.
The “through the wall” installation is the least expensive and
simplest installation. Never terminate the end vent under
a deck, in an alcove, under a window, or between two
windows. We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® kits.
THROUGH THE ROOF/CEILING INSTALLATION
When venting the heater through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall, except the clean-out
tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3 in.(76mm) adapter is added before the clean-out tee.
You must use the proper ceiling support flanges and roof flashing (supplied by the pipe manufacturer; follow the pipe
manufacturer’s directions). It is important to note that if your vertical run of pipe is more than 12ft (3.7m), the pellet vent
pipe size should be increased to 4 in. (102mm) in diameter.
Do not exceed more than 4ft (1.22m) of pipe on a horizontal run and use as few elbows as possible. If an offset is
required, it is better to install 45-degree elbows rather than 90-degree elbows.

Attention:
DO NOT vent under any porch, deck, awning, or in any semi enclosed or roofed area. Doing
so may result in unpredictable airflow at the vent cap under certain conditions and can affect the
performance of your stove, as well as, other unforeseeable issues.
