1. Choose a stove location that is ideal. See the section
“DECIDING WHERE T
O LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE.”
2. Place a non-combustible hearth pad where
necessary.
3. Place the unit on the hearth pad (if installed on a
combustible surface) and space the unit in a manner
so when the pellet vent is installed vertically, it will
be 3” (7.5 cm) away from a combustible wall.
4. Install the tee with clean out.
5. 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” (7.5 cm)
distance to combustibles and keep attic insulation
away from the vent pipe. Maintain an effective
vapor barrier.
6. Finally, extend the pellet vent to go through the
roof flashing.
7. Ensure that the rain cap is approximately 24” (600
mm) above the roof.
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 17).
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 24” (600
mm) above the roof.
