Vent!Pipe
Pellet!venting!pipe!(!also!known!as!PL!vent!)!is
constructed!of!two!layers!with!air!space!between!the
layers.!This!air!space!acts !as!an!insulator!and!reduces
the!outside!surface!temperature !to!allow!a!clearance!to
combustibles!of!only!3!inches.!The!sections!of!pipe!lock
together!to!form!an!air!tight!seal!in!most!cases;!however ,
in!some!cases!a!perfect!seal!is!not!achieved.!For!this
reason!and!the!fact!that!the!P61!operates!with!a!positive
vent!pressure!we!specify!that!the!joints !also!be !sealed
