Floor and Wall Protection

Freestanding Pellet Installation

Caution: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings. Check local codes in your area.

Illustration 1

Must have minimum 3” adapter before tee for longer run.

For shorter run (such

as Masonry

Connection below),

tee alone is acceptable.

Our Part AC-3000 is acceptable for through-the-wall installation. (AC-3100 for 4000+ ft. installations.)

Basement Installation should be performed by professional installer. Use 3” metal pipe and coupler for Outside Combustion Air. Minimum 3’ clearance from ground to the Pellet Vent Exhaust Pipe.

Masonry Connection

1.If 3” flue pipe exceeds 15’ in length, increase to 4” flue pipe for remaining flue connections.

2.Total flue length should not exceed 35’.

3.Horizontal run not to exceed 4’.

4.Floor protector required: Min. size 36” x 36”.

5.If the total run of outside air connection exceeds 6’, if more than 2 elbows are used, or if a basement install, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.

6.Outside Air is mandatory for proper safe operation.

Floor Protection

If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, there is no need for floor protection. If the floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood, linoleum, or carpet, then you will be required to use floor protection between the unit and the combustible. The protection should be U.L. approved or equal, and should be large enough to provide a minimum of six inches (6”) behind and on both sides of the stove. The clearance in front of the stove should be at least six inches (6”). This freestanding pellet unit will need a minimum 36” x 36” floor protector.

Wall Protection

From the rear and the sides of this stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to paneling, wallpaper or drywall. The pellet vent pipe would require the standard three inches (3”) clearance, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Normally additional wall protection is not required with this type unit.
