Installer’s Guide
A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
WARNING! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe
operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check
building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, trafc ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
to minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage
for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
• Installing the required outside air kit will affect the loca-
tion of the vent termination.

Figure 22.1
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
•
Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, softs, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal lo-
cation is to vent above roof line when possible. This mini-
mizes the affects of wind loading.
