INSTALLATION
INSTALLING YOUR FREESTANDING PELLET STOVE
Standard Horizontal Vent Installation
1.Locate the proper position for the listed type “PL” wall thimble. Avoid cutting wall studs when installing your pipe. Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut the proper diameter hole through the wall to accom- modate the wall thimble. Use extreme caution to avoid cutting into power lines within the wall of the home. The hole size will depend on the brand of pellet vent that you are using. Install the wall thimble in the hole.
ALL INTERLOCKING PIPE CONNECTIONS WITH- IN THE ROOM MUST BE SEALED WITH High Tem- perature RTV AND SECURED WITH A MINIMUM OF 3 FASTENERS PER CONNECTION.
2.Position the stove approximately 12” (.3m) from the wall on the floor pad. Push listed type “PL” pipe through wall thimble. Squeeze a bead of high tem- perature silicone (High Temperature RTV) sealer around the end of the machined portion of the 3” (76mm) pipe connector on the back of the stove. Firmly push on a section of listed type “PL” pipe until inner pipe liner pushes into the bead of High Tem- perature RTV sealer.
3.Push the stove (with pipe attached) towards wall. Pipe will go through the wall thimble. Do not position the back of the stove closer than 2” (51mm) from the wall.
NOTE: Greater back clearance will improve the ser- viceability of the stove.
4.Install listed type “PL” 45 degree elbow with optional rodent screen or cap (recommended) on outside end of pipe. The rodent screen should be no less than 1/2” (13 mm) mesh and may clog with soot and ash if left unattended during the burn season.
NOTE: The end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12” (.3m) from the outside of the build- ing.
5.If the installation includes a source of outside com- bustion air; cut a separate hole through the wall for the fresh air tube. Use a galvanized or stainless steel pipe for the duct. The minimum size for the duct shall be not less than 50% of the cross sec- tional flue area. Connect outside air pipe to air inlet on stove. This tube must be terminated with a 45 degree elbow or hood.
NOTES:
Combustion air may also be drawn from a vented crawl space under the home.
All joints for connector pipe are required to be fastened with at least three screws. If vented horizontally, joints shall be made
