THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)
Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365. To
vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the
exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least 18”
(457 mm) above ground level, a straight section of pellet vent
pipe can be used through the wall. Your heater dealer should
be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this
installation, which will include a wall thimble that will allow the
proper clearance through a combustible wall. Once outside
the structure, a 3 in.(76mm) clearance should be maintained
from the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed
on the pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this
point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section of pipe should be added
with a horizontal cap, which would complete the installation.
A support bracket should be placed just below the termination
cap or one every 4ft (1.22m) to make the system more stable. If
you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it is recommended
that the installation be taller than 3ft (0.91m) to get above the
snowdrift line. This same installation can be used if your heater
is below ground level by simply adding the clean-out section
and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. With this
installation you have to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead
grass, and leaves. We recommend a 3ft (0.91m) minimum
vertical rise on the inside or outside of the house. The “through
the wall” installation is the least expensive and simplest installation. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in
an alcove, under a window, or between two windows. We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® kits.
THROUGH THE ROOF/CEILING INSTALLATION
When venting the heater through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall, except the
clean-out tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3” (76 mm) adapter is added before the clean-out tee.
You must use the proper ceiling support anges and roof ashing (supplied by the pipe manufacturer; follow the
pipe manufacturer’s directions). It is important to note that if your vertical run of pipe is more than 12ft (3.7m), the
pellet vent pipe size should be increased to 4” (102 mm) in diameter. Do not exceed more than 4ft (1.22m) of
pipe on a horizontal run and use as few elbows as possible. If an offset is required, it is better to install 45-degree
elbows rather than 90-degree elbows.
