improvised solutions.
Practice good workmanship. Sloppy work
could jeopardize your PelletVent
installation.
Never use a vent with an inside diameter
that is smaller than the appliance ue outlet.
6. Multistory: Where PelletVent passes through
the ceiling, use DuraVent Firestop/Support
assembly.
PelletVent placement: When deciding the
location of your stove and vent, try to minimize
the alteration and reframing of structural
components of the building.
Sections of pipe are connected to each
other by pushing them rmly together and
twisting. Screws are not required. If however,
screws are desired, use 1/4”-long sheet metal
screws. Under no circumstances, penetrate
the inner liner with screws.
RTV Sealant may be required at all vent
joints. Refer to Appliance manufacturer.
Never install single-wall pipe to
freestanding pellet stoves. Single-wall pipe
may be connected to a replace insert,
provided it is inside the replace, and the
replace has completely sealed surroundings.
Do not connect B-Vent pipe with aluminum
liners to pellet appliances.
Inspections: Using pelletized fuel does not
eliminate the need for inspection and cleaning.
During the heating season, inspect monthly,
and clean at least once a year.
