FREESTANDING INSTALLATION . . . continued
NOTE: Some horizontal, through the wall installations may require a Clean-Out Tee and a minimum 3’ vertical rise
of pipe inside or outside the building to help draft the stove. This is required if a proper burn cannot be maintained,
after the stove has been tested and the airflow set. This is due to backpressure in the exhaust, caused by the
airflow around the house.
THROUGH THE WALL, DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION. (Figure 18)
1. Select the location for your stove, design the exhaust system and determine the brand and size of "PL" vent to
be used.
2. Position the floor pad.
3. Following the "PL" vent manufacturer's specifications, mark and cut a hole through the wall to accommodate
the wall thimble, (F), and the outside air pipe, (I), if outside air is to be used. Remember that the outside air
intake must be located no closer than 12” from the vent exhaust. Try to avoid cutting wall studs, and use
extreme caution to avoid cutting into power or water lines within the wall of your home.
4. Install the wall thimble, (F). Be sure to run a bead of silicone around the outside edges of the wall thimble to
reduce drafts, both inside and outside. Insert the proper size of "PL" vent, (E), through the wall thimble, (F).
5. Place your stove on the floor pad, close to its final position. Leave room to connect the "PL" vent to “Quick
Connect” end collar. If not already factory installed, Install the gasket (B) and “Quick Connect” exhaust end (C)
to your stove to the “Quick Connect” mounting plate. Use the 4 x 7/16” nuts, supplied and secure tightly.
6. Place a bead of RTV silicone around the end collar of the “Quick Connect” of your stove's exhaust, (C). Firmly
push the “PL” vent pipe adaptor (J) into the bead of RTV silicone.
Note: If 4" PL vent is required, use an 3” to 4” Pipe Adaptor Increaser, (J), on the stove exhaust pipe.
7. Connect the length of "PL" vent, (E), that is in the thimble, (F), onto the pipe adaptor (D). Fasten together with
at least three sheet metal screws (approx. 3/8” in length). Place a bead of RTV silicone around the connection.
8. Place your stove in its final position on the pad. Place another bead of
RTV silicone around the “PL” vent (E) and the inside of the wall thimble,
to stop cold air drafts.
9. On the outside of the building, place an exhaust cap (G) or a 45 degree "PL"
type elbow, (G), onto the end of the horizontal "PL" vent, (E).
Optionally, place a rodent screen cap, (G), (may be required in some locals),
on the end of the elbow, (G). Secure all connections using 3 sheet metal
screws and run a bead of RTV silicone around all connections and around
the “PL” vent pipe and the outside of the wall thimble.
Note: The end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12” from the
outside of the building.
