Installing Your Insert Pellet Stove
INSERT STOVE VENTING
A 3" single-wall, stainless steel flexible or rigid exhaust pipe may be used for insert installa-
tions in place of double-wall, type
"L" vent. The pipe should be connected to the supplied
clean-out tee.
High-temperature silicone sealant should be used at the vent pipe connections to
ensure a "gas-tight" seal.
When venting through an existing chimney (masonry or factory built) the chimney must be
cleaned. All creosote, dust and ash must be removed (see page
32 for more information on
preparing the fireplace for the insert installation).
The
"L" vent or single wall stainless exhaust system must be installed so as to be gas-tight!
The vent manufacturer's installation procedures must be followed. In addition, pipe connections,
joints and
all pipe seams within the home should be sealed with high-temperature, vulcanized
silicone sealer
(RTV).
If an insert is to be installed into an unlined masonry chimney, the 3" or 4" rigid or flex pipe
must be extended to the top of the existing chimney. Fully lining the chimney in this man-
ner must be done whenever the integrity of chimney
is in question for any reason.
After the chimney has been lined to the top of the existing flue, any opening between the exist-
ing chimney and the
pipelvent liner should be sealed with a metal plate. Use a clamp or other
fixture above the sealing plate to support the weight of the vent system.
