INSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS:
Figure 12: Inside Vertical Installation.
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” (7.5 cm) away from a
combustible wall.
4. Install the tee with clean out.
5. 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” (7.5 cm) distance
to combustibles and keep attic
insulation away from the vent pipe.
Maintain an effective vapor barrier.
6. Finally, extend the pellet vent to go
through the roof flashing.
7. Ensure that the rain cap is
approximately 24” (600 mm) above
the roof.
OUTSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS:
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 13).
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 24” (600 mm) above the roof.
