VENTING
Before venting, consult vent manufacturer's
specifications and recommendations for all
venting installations.
The following installation guidelines must be
followed to ensure conformity with both the safety
listing of this stove and to local building codes.
TYPE OF VENT
The pellet venting pipe (also known as L vent) is
constructed of two layers with air space between
the layers. This air space acts as an insulator and
reduces the outside surface temperature of pipe to
allow a clearance to combustibles. A cap must be
used at the termination of type L vent chimneys.
For elevations above 5,000 feet above sea level, 4"
venting is required.
PELLET VENT INSTALLATION
Vent termination MUST exhaust above the
elevation of the air inlet. It is recommended to
install at least 3 feet of vertical pellet vent pipe.
This vertical pipe will create some natural draft to
reduce the possibility of smoke or odor during
appliance shutdown, and will keep exhaust from
causing a nuisance or hazard from exposure to
high temperatures.
The installation must include a clean out tee to
enable the collection of fly ash and to permit
periodic cleaning of the exhaust system. Total
length of horizontal vent must not exceed 10 feet.
The maximum recommended vertical venting
height is 18 feet.
All joints for pellet vent are required to be
fastened with at least three screws and
all connections (including adapters,
elbows, etc...) should be sealed airtight
by injecting 500° F RTV silicone into the
gap between sections.
The area where the vent pipe goes
through to the exterior of the home must
be sealed with silicone or other means to
maintain the vapor barrier between the
exterior and the interior of the home.

WARNING
Do Not connect this unit to a chimney flue that
services another appliance.
Do Not install a flue damper in the exhaust
venting system of this unit.
Do Not connect directly to a masonry chimney.
Do Not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-
enclosed area, such as; Carport, garage, attic,
crawl space, under a sun deck or porch, narrow
walkway, or any location that can build up a
concentration of fumes such as a stairwell,
covered breezeway, etc...
CAUTION
Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if
touched. Non-combustible shielding or guards may
be required.
Pellet vent must maintain minimum clearances
to combustibles specified by vent manufacturer.
Install vent at clearances specified by the vent
manufacturer.
All venting joints, whether vertical or horizontal,
should be made gas tight with recommended
sealants.
WARNING
Never shut the stove down by unplugging it from
the power source.
Never shut the stove down from by switching off
the main power switch on the rear of the stove.
