INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method 2: Through the Ceiling
•Venting through the ceiling/roof may be the only feasible venting option in some cases and is a factory recommended installation.
•When installing any venting system, Type L or Type PL pipe must be used and all clearances to combustibles listed by the pipe manufacturer must be strictly adhered to.
•Use the pipe manufacturer’s approved ceiling support for passing through a combustible ceiling, as well as the required firestops, radiation shields, flashing and storm collar.
•Be certain to follow the manufacturer’s required height of termination above the roof line, and maintain at least the minimum clearances to combustibles.
•Use an appliance collar where the pellet vent connects to the exhaust output of the pellet stove and attach the appliance collar to the exhaust blower output using three sheet metal screws.
•Seal each pipe connection joint with high temperature RTV Silicone, to ensure the system is leak free (Check with the specific pipe manufacturer’s instructions before
doing so).
•If the pellet vent pipe being used is not a “Twist Lock” system, three (3) sheet metal screws are required at each pipe joint.
•Connect the pellet stove to outside combustion air using the kit included with your stove or using an alternative method, as described in the “Outside Air” section, on page 14.
•This venting method can also be modified so that the venting system runs horizontally through the wall from the stove, then transitions to vertical and terminates above the roofline. When using this modified version of this installation be certain to carefully follow the venting system manufacturer’s instructions diligently.
