Installation
INSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS - FREESTANDING:
1. Choose a stove location that is ideal. See the section “DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE.”
2.Place a non-combustible hearth pad where necessary.
3.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” (7.6 cm) away from a combustible wall.
4.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 1 5⁄8” (41
mm)in diameter.
5.Install the fresh air intake pipe.
6.Install the tee with clean out.
7.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” (7.6 cm) distance to combustibles and keep attic insulation away from the vent pipe. Maintain an effective vapor barrier.
8.Finally, extend the pellet vent to go through the roof flashing.
9.Ensure that the rain cap is approximately 36” (900 mm) above the roof.

OUTSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS - FREESTANDING:
To accomplish a outside vertical pipe installation, follow steps 1 through 5 in the “INSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS
-FREESTANDING” section and then finish it by performing the following (refer to Figure 26).
1.Install a tee with clean out on the outside of the house.
2.Install PL vent upward from the tee. Make sure that you install support brackets to keep the vent straight and secure.
3.Install ceiling thimble and secure the flashing as you go through the roof.
4.Ensure that the rain cap is approximately 36” (91.5 cm) above the roof.
