Installation
12
Set the appliance in its nal location and
mark the center of the hole where the pipe
is to penetrate the masonry chimney (Figure
16). Insure that you comply with the
manufacturer’s specications in regards to
clearance and distances from combustible
surfaces.
The pellet vent system is assembled
essentially the same as previously described
for installation in an existing masonry
chimney with the exceptions listed:
A. No Flex Pipe is required, unless the
masonry chimney has an offset. If an offset
exists, then a section of Flex Pipe will be
needed to accommodate the offset.
B. A Tee is installed at the bottom end of
the vertical pipe (Figure 16).
C. A Reduction Collar or a Trim Collar is
required to go around the pipe section that
passes through the masonry to give it a
nished look (Figure 16).
It will be necessary to break out the
masonry around the location of the pipe
center line mark to a diameter of at least 4
inches for 3 inch pipe, and at least 5 inches in
diameter for 4 inch pipe.
Install the Tee on the bottom of the vertical
pipe system and lower it down the chimney
until the center of the branch of the Tee is level
with the center of the hole in the masonry.
Connect horizontal pipe section to the Tee
branch.
Holding the pipe at the proper elevation,
install the Storm Collar and Cap, as described
in Step 11 for the replace installation.
Connect the horizontal piece of pipe which
goes through the masonry to the Tee by
pushing it through the hole in the masonry, and
lining it up with the branch of the Tee. Then
