2. Place a non-combustible hearth
pad where necessary.
3. Place the unit on the hearth pad
(if installed on a carpeted surface)
and space the unit in a manner so
when the pellet vent is installed
vertically, it will be 3” (7.6 cm)
away from a combustible wall.
4. Locate the center of the fresh air
intake pipe on the unit. Match that
center with the same point on the
wall and cut a hole about 1 ” (41
mm) in diameter.
5. Install the fresh air intake pipe.
6. Install the tee with clean out.
7. Install the pellet vent upward
from there. When you reach the
ceiling, make sure that the vent
goes through the ceiling fire stop.
Maintain a 3” (7.6 cm) distance
to combustibles and keep attic
insulation away from the vent
pipe. Maintain an effective vapor
barrier.
8. Finally, extend the pellet vent to
go through the roof flashing.
9. Ensure that the rain cap is
approximately 36” (900 mm)
above the roof.
OUTSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS - FREESTANDING:
To accomplish a outside vertical pipe installation, follow steps 1 through 5 in the “INSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS
- FREESTANDING” section and then finish it by performing the following (refer to Figure 26).
1. Install a tee with clean out on the outside of the house.
2. Install PL vent upward from the tee. Make sure that you install support brackets to keep the vent
straight and secure.
3. Install ceiling thimble and secure the flashing as you go through the roof.
4. Ensure that the rain cap is approximately 36” (91.5 cm) above the roof.
