FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
(Note: For Fireplace Insert Installation, see Fireplace Insert Installation section on Page 17)
Installation Overview
When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of
factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation.
1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed
in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the
home.
2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way
heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the
heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to
the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to
reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the
path of least resistance while it is still hot.
3. Exhaust Location – Outside walls are generally the best place to install a
stove, since they allow easy exhaust and intake air installation (using our
DuraVent AC-3000 Kit). If there is not a feasible way to install the stove
on an outside wall, there are methods for venting the stove up through the
roof, but they tend to be more costly because they involve the use of
more pellet vent pipe and can often make outside air installation more
difficult.
4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can
pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to
reframe any sections of the wall to accommodate the wall thimble.
