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 24 in.(609mm) 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.
The Clean out tee must be placed at the bottom of the
vertical section of venting, NOT in the horizontal section. At
this point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section of pipe should
be added with a horizontal cap, which would complete
the installation (see FIGURE 7). 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 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.
The Clean out tee must be placed at the bottom of the vertical section of venting, NOT in the horizontal section.
You must use the proper ceiling support anges and roof ashing (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 coming from the back of the stove.
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.

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