CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

1998-2006 Edition
A variety of vent system configurations are possible for both a freestanding and fireplace insert stove. Examples of
vent system configurations include a direct through-the-wall termination, connection to an existing chimney that
previously served a wood burning stove or a wood burning fireplace and an entirely new chimney system. Read
through the descriptions of the various configurations that are possible, evaluate the final location of the stove and
decide which configuration is best suited for that particular installation. Decision should be based on such factors as
local building codes, ease of installation, cost of installation and ease of future maintenance and periodic cleaning.
If strong winds are common in the area, it is advised that two (2) 90 degree elbows be connected, in a periscope type
configuration, immediately before the spark arrester/rain cap. This will form a windbreak and allow the unit to burn at
maximum efficiency. We also suggest that if the home has vinyl siding or in areas where the wind blows often, a large
metal plate (18" x 18") (457mm x 457mm) made of 20 gauge or heavier steel be placed on the side of the house to
provide heat protection and easy cleaning;should the wind carry the exhaust against the side of the house.
Always seal all pipe connections, including "twist-lock" systems, using high temperature RTV silicone.
Descriptions of the various vent system configurations are given below.
A coaxial direct vent system is made up of two different diameter size pipes. The smaller 3" (76mm) diameter
pipe fits inside the larger 4-3/4" (121mm) diameter pipe. The 3" (76mm) diameter pipe carries the exhaust gases
out of the home and the 4-3/4" (121mm) diameter pipe carries outside combustion air into the combustion
chamber of the stove. Such a coaxial vent system requires only one 9" (229mm) diameter hole to be cut in an
exterior wall for the vent system to pass through. The Jamestown J3020A install kit is required if a coaxial direct-
through-the-wall horizontal termination is desired. Coaxial vent systems for Jamestown pellet stoves cannot be
purchased separately at the local hardware store. The Jamestown J3020A install kit is available at any
Jamestown dealership.
