INSTALLATION
THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)
To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe
adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust
adapter is at least 18-inches above ground level, a
straight section of pellet vent pipe can be used through
the wall.
Your
Ashley Heritage
dealer should be able to provide
you with a kit that will handle most of this installation,
which will include a wall thimble that will allow the
proper clearance through a combustible wall. Once out-
side the structure, a 3-inch clearance should be main-
tained from the outside wall and a clean out tee should
be placed on the pipe with a 90-degree turn away from
the house. At this point, a 3-foot (minimum) section of
pipe should be added with a horizontal cap, which would
complete the installation (see FIGURE 7).
A support bracket should be placed just below the termi-
nation cap or one every 4-feet to make the system more
stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it
is recommended that the installation be taller than 3-feet
to get above the snowdrift line. This same installation
can be used if your stove is below ground level by simply
adding the clean-out section and vertical pipe inside until
ground level is reached. With this installation you have
to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead grass, and
leaves. We recommend a 3-foot minimum vertical rise
on the inside or outside of the house.
The “through the wall” installation is the least expen-
sive and simplest installation. Never terminate the end
vent under a deck, in an alcove, under a window, or between two windows. We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent
®
or Metal-Fab
®
kits.
THROUGH THE ROOF/CEILING INSTALLATION
When venting the stove through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall, except the clean-
out tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3-inch adapter is added before the clean-out tee.
You must use the proper ceiling support flanges and roof flashing (supplied by the pipe manufacturer; follow the
pipe manufacturer’s directions). It is important to note that if your vertical run of pipe is more than 15-feet, the
pellet vent pipe size should be increased to 4-inches in diameter.
Do not exceed more than 4-feet of pipe on a horizontal run and use as few elbows as possible. If an offset is re-
quired, it is better to install 45-degree elbows rather than 90-degree elbows.
