INSTALLATION
Approved Venting Method 3: Existing Chimney System
•Using an existing masonry or factory built chimney for venting is the only other acceptable method for venting this pellet unit.
•Use Type L or Type PL venting pipe until entering the existing chimney. Use the appropriately sized adapter when transitioning from the pellet vent pipe to the masonry or factory built thimble and be certain that the adapter is sealed tightly to both the pellet venting system and the existing chimney.
•Before using an existing chimney, be certain it is in good condition (A chimney sweep inspection is highly recommended). Also, make sure the chimney meets the minimum standards listed in NFPA 211 (A chimney professional can confirm this upon inspection).
•If connecting this stove to a factory built chimney, it may ONLY be a 6” flue, UL103 HT venting system.
Connection to any other factory built chimney may
result in a poorly operating or dangerous stove installation.
•When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, the
•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.
