horIzontal exhauSt through Wall InStallatIon:
Vent installation: install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed spaces, or a floor, or ceiling.
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/
CSA-B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment. Only use venting of L or PL type with an inside
diameter of 3 or 4 inches (7.6 or 10.1 cm).
1. Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows installation with the least
amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.
2. Install a non-combustible hearth pad (where necessary).
3. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from
the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth
pad, set the unit on it, and adjust the leveling
legs.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the
stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you
have located the center point on the wall,
refer to pellet vent manufacturer installation
instructions for correct hole size and clearance
to combustibles.
5. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions
written on the thimble. Maintain an effective
vapour barrier in accordance with local building
codes.
6. Install a length of 3” (75 mm) or 4” (100 mm)
vent pipe into the wall thimble. The pipe should
install easily into the thimble.
7. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust
pipe on the stove. Seal the connection with
high temperature silicone.
8. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum
of 5.5” (14 cm) clearance from the back of the
stove to the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the
thimble with high temperature silicone.
9. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away
from the building. If necessary, bring another
length of pipe (PL type) to the outside of
the home to connect to the first section. Do
not forget to place high temperature silicone
around the pipe that passes through the
thimble.
** Note :A termination cap is highly recommended
however to keep rodents, small animals, etc
away as this can be easily accessed with simply
having a 45 degree elbow in place.
