Overview

This kit allows an installer to build the above pellet heaters into the framing of a home.

Installation Overview

The minimum framing dimensions and clearances listed in this instruction sheet must be maintained. Failure to follow all of the instructions in this instruction sheet, and in the manual, will void the listing and warranty of the pellet heater, and may create a serious fire hazard.

This kit is approved for use in a mobile home.

1 Determine the vent configuration (see “Vent Requirements” and “Vent Termination Requirements”) 2 Prepare the enclosure (see “Minimum Enclosure Dimensions”). 3 Install the floor protection and hearth (see “Minimum Floor Protection”).

If venting to the rear (most common)

Place the 90° onto the insert starter collar and measure the height of the center of the vent. This will determine the center height of the wall thimble installed behind the insert in the wall. NOTE: The vent is located 7.5” left of center of the appliance. Install the thimble into the wall, making sure the 3” clearance to combustibles is met (refer the directions included with the thimble for additional details). Remove the starter collar from the pellet heater and install it onto the elbow (seal with silicone). Determine the correct length for the horizontal section of vent (the center of the starter collar is 11.25” behind the enclosure opening) and attach it to the elbow (seal with silicone). Place this flue section aside until after the zc can is installed. Then insert the flue section through the can and thimble. Once the insert is in place, attach the starter section to the insert (it is attached with a latch – make sure the gasket is correctly positioned). Attach the additional vent components to finalize the vent installation (termination, elbow, etc.).

If venting upwards

When installing with vertical vent, the area above the insert must be accessible after the zc can and insert have been installed (note: the vent is located 11.25” behind the enclosure opening, 7.5” left of center). Remove the starter collar from the pellet heater and install it onto the vent (seal with silicone). Insert this vent through the zc can and attach the starter section to the insert (it is attached with a latch – make sure the gasket is correctly positioned). Attach the additional vent components to finalize the vent installation

(additional vent lengths, elbows, terminations, etc.). 3 Construct and Install the ZC Can (see “ZC Can Construction and Placement”) 4 Prepare the insert in place it into the ZC Can (see “Insert Preparation and Placement”)

• Pellet vent must maintain a minimum 3" clearance to any combustible (install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer).

• Do not connect the pellet vent to a vent serving any other appliance or stove.

• The maximum venting distance is

shown in the illustration to the right.

• Do not install a flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this unit.

33 Feet (max.)

30 Feet

• Use an approved wall thimble when passing the vent through walls and a ceiling support/fire stop spacer when passing the vent through ceilings (make sure to maintain 3" clearance to any combustibles.

• No more than 180° of elbows (two 90° elbows, one 90° and two 45° elbows, etc.).

• Pellet vent connections must be sealed airtight with 500° F. RTV silicone and screwed together with at least three sheet metal screws.

Seal each vent section (including adapters, elbows, etc...) by

500° F. RTV

Silicone

injecting a liberal amount of 500° F. RTV silicone into the gap between sections.

• Vent must have a support bracket every 5' of pellet vent when exterior of structure

The vent height and run must not exceed the distance shown in the shaded region shown to the right.

Venting into this shaded area may require restrictor adjustments. See the section “Restrictor Adjustment” for details.

NOTE: To achieve optimum performance, we recommend keeping the vent as short as possible (horizontal run especially).
