VentingPipeCleaning
 Lowspotsanddirectionchangesintheventingsystem(suchasteesandelbows)areareasfor
potentialfly‐ashandcreosoteaccumulation.INSPECTtheseareasdiligentlytokeepthe
ventingsysteminsafeoperatingcondition.
 Dependingonthespecifictypeofventingsystemyourstoveisconnectedto,
itmaybepossible
toremovetheclean‐outteecoverandsimplyrunapipebrushupthepipetoremoveanyfly‐
ashaccumulation.
 Horizontalrunsofpipe,suchasfromtheexhaustconnectiononthestovetothevertical
transition,willaccumulateflyashandshould
beinspectedcarefullyandbrushedclean.
 Checktheterminationcaptobecertainitisnotcloggedorrestrictedbyanyfly‐ash
accumulation.
 Afterthoroughlycleaningtheventingsystem,resealanydisassembledseamswithhigh
temperaturesilicone(Part#AC‐RTV3)ifapplicabletoyourventingsystem.

 Afterprolongeduse,leaksintheventingsystemcanusuallybefoundbysearchingforfly‐ash
depositsontheoutsideofthepipe.Carefullycheckforleaksintheventingsystem
andseal
themaccordingly.
 Althoughmostpelletventingsystemsaredesignedtolastalifetime,pelletfly‐ashcanbe
corrosiveundercertainconditions.Whencleaningyourventingsystem,examinethepipe
carefullyforanysignsofdeteriorationandreplacesectionsthatshowexcessivewear.Itis
