INSTALLATION
Vent
Termination
Requirements
Do not terminate vent in an enclosed or
semi-enclosed area such as: carports, garage, attic,
crawl space, under a sun deck, porch, narrow
walkway, closely fenced area, or any location that
can build up a concentration
of
fumes such as a
stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns
if
touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or
guards may be required.
It
is recommended that when an appliance
is
vented
directly through
a wall, a minimum
of
five feet
of
vertical pipe should be installed to create some
natural draft. This will prevent the possibility
of
smoke or odor entering the dwelling during
appliance shutdown or loss
of
power and
to
keep
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard and
exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In
any case, the safest and preferred venting method
is
to extend the vent through the roof.
The termination
of
the outside chimney
of
the
pellet stove shall be located in accordance with the
following:
1.
Higher than 3 ft. above any forced air inlet (air
conditioner, etc.) located within I 0 ft.
2.
Not
less that 4 ft. below, 4 ft. horizontally from
or 1 ft. above any gravity air inlet (door,
window, etc.).
3.
Not
less
that
2ft.
from combustible materials
such as
an
adjacent buildings, fences,
protruding parts
of
the structure,
roof
overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc. and not less than 7
ft.
above grade
when
located adjacent to the public
sidewalks (access).
4. Not less that 3
ft.
below an eave
or
any
construction that projects more that 2" from the
plane
ofthe
wall.
5.
Distance from bottom
of
termination and
grade-
12
inches minimum. This is conditional upon
· plants and nature
of
grade surface: The exhaust
gases are not hot enough
to
ignite grass, plants
and shrubs located in the vicinity
of
the
termination. The grade surface must not be a
lawn.
Connection
To
A Masonr·y
Chimney
Through
A Wall
Be sure
to
verify the construction
of
a masonry
chimney, as many have combustible framing.
The usc
of
single wall flex or rigid 24 gauge
galvanized or stainless steel pipe as a liner is
approved.
Connection
To
An Existing Class A
Chimney
A chimney adapter can be used to make the
cmmection from 3
",
4", or 6" pellet vent pipe
to
existing UL chimney system. Verify with the pipe
manufacturer that your pipe brands will
interconnect.
The
use
of
single wall flex or rigid 24
gauge galvanized or stainless steel pipe as a liner is
approved.
