Installation
INSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS - FREESTANDING:
1.Choose a stove location that is ideal. See the section “INSTALLATION - DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET
APPLIANCE.”
2.Place the unit on the hearth pad (if installed on a carpeted surface) and space the unit in a manner so when the pellet vent is installed vertically, it will be 3” (76 mm) away from a combustible wall.
3.Locate the center of the fresh air intake pipe on the unit. Match that center with the same point on the wall and cut a hole about 2” (51 mm) in diameter.
4.Install the fresh air intake pipe.
5.Install the tee with clean out.
6.Install the pellet vent upward from there. When you reach the ceiling, make sure that the vent goes through the ceiling fire stop. Maintain a 3” (76 mm) distance to combustibles and keep attic insulation away from the vent pipe. Maintain an effective vapor barrier.
7.Finally, extend the pellet vent to go through the roof flashing.
8.Ensure that the rain cap is approximately 24” (610 mm) above the roof.
Rain cap - ensure cap is at least 2 feet (610mm) above the roof at the lowest point
