wood in the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and
most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly;
2) Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you
do all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning
room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This stove has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-95 Standard Specification for
Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning Type 1, UL 1482-1998 Standard for Solid Fuel Room
Heaters, Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes (814-23-900 through 814-23-909)
and Installation as a Stove Heater.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for
residential installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding
room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for connection to
an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower
systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal (see PROPER FUEL).
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to
burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously
degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window.
For best operation the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific
value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill
up the burn pot and eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Pellet Stoves should not be used since
operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
To receive full warranty coverage, you will
need to show evidence of the date you
purchased your stove. We suggest that
you attach your sales invoice to this page,
and fill in the form on the left, so that you
will have all the information you need in
one place should the need for service or
information occur.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke
coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your
dealer.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all
such liquids well away from the stove while in use.
Never block free airflow through the open vents of
the stove.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the
stove unless instructions are given in this
manual. All other work should be done by a
trained technician.
Do not throw this manual away. This manual
has important operating and maintenance
instructions that you will need at a later time.
Always follow the instructions in this manual.
Do not place clothing or other flammable
items on or near the stove.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
The stove will not operate during a power outage.
If an outage does occur, check the stove for
smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke
spills into the room.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect
all power from the stove.
During the start up period; 1) DO NOT open the
viewing door; 2) DO NOT open the damper more
than ¾”; 3) DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot
by hand; 4) DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button
(unless you are priming the auger after running
out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could
result.
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a
malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically
inspect it, and call your dealer.
The viewing door must be closed and latched
during operation.
Do not operate the stove if the flame
becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot
overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off,
periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Hot while in operation. Keep children,
clothing, and furniture away. Contact may
cause skin burns. Educate all children of the
danger of a high temperature stove. Young
children should be supervised when they are
in the same room as the stove.
If the stove is installed in a room without air
conditioning, or in an area where direct
sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible
this can cause the temperature of the stove to
rise to operational levels; one of the sensors
could then make the stove start on its own. It
is recommended that the stove be unplugged
when not in use for extended amounts of time
(i.e. during the summer months).
Contact your local building officials to obtain a
permit and information on any installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your
area. Notify your insurance company of this stove
as well.
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the
possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be
strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation.
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead
to smoke spillage in your home.
This stove must be connected to a standard 120
V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an
adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not
route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or
over the stove.
The exhaust system should be checked, at a
minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of
soot or creosote.
The exhaust system must be completely
airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent
joints must be sealed with RTV 500°F
(260°C) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-AP
foil tape.
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out
any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be
disposed in a metal container with a tight lid
and placed on a no combustible surface well
away from the home structure.
This stove is designed and approved for
pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of
fuel burned in this heater will void the
warranty and safety listing.
When installed in a mobile home, the stove
must be bolted to the floor, have outside air,
and NOT BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM
(Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local
building officials.
Breckwell Hearth Products grants no
warranty, implied or stated, for the
installation or maintenance of your stove,
and assumes no responsibility of any
consequential damage(s).

For a mobile home installation the stove must be
connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2”
inside diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may
be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figure
4). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood
must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 5). All
connections must be secured and airtight by either using
the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP
foil tape.
For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter
pipe may be used for the first 5 feet of combustion air
supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2 ¾” inside diameter
pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
a. In fireplaces
• Chimney top.
• Ash clean out door.
b. For freestanding installations
•A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only
in a ventilated crawl space.
•A hole in the wall behind the stove.
WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED
If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion
air is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside
air register can be used in tightly insulated homes.
VENTING
FIGURE 4
The Breckwell P2700 is certified for use with listed
TYPE L-Vent, 3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was
tested with Simpson Duravent brand. Class “A” chimney
is not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the
vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a
wall, ceiling or roof.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector
joints must be sealed with 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone
sealant to ensure consistent performance and avoid
smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be
sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. We recommend that all
vertical vent connector joints be secured with a minimum
of 3 screws.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
FIGURE 5
Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)
INSTALLATION
7
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the more restriction
there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be
used.
•Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of equivalent vent
length.
• Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10’ of EVL.
• Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8’.
• To calculate EVL, use the following conversions:
90º elbow or “T” = 5 equivalent feet
45º elbow = 3 equivalent feet
Horizontal Pipe Run = 1 equivalent foot per actual foot
Vertical Pipe Run = 0.5 equivalent foot per actual foot
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4”
diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.
P2700 INSTALLATION
A. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL (refer to Figure 6)
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figures 1 & 2.
2. Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust
vent (refer to figure 4).
3. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials.
4. Install L-Vent wall thimble per L-Vent manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6”
beyond exterior walls. An 8-foot vertical pipe run is suggested
where possible to reduce the possibility of smoke spillage in
the event of a loss of negative pressure.
6. Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening
waterproof mastic.
7. Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases
can ignite trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard to children.
Exhaust gases can reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause
serious burns if touched.
Locate terminations: a) not less then 3 feet above any
forced air inlet located within 10 feet; b) not less than 4
feet below or horizontally from, or one foot above, any
door, window or gravity air inlet into any building; c)
not less than two feet from an adjacent building and
not less than 7 feet above grade when located
adjacent to a public walkway. Mobile home
installations must use a spark arrester.
FIGURE 6
B. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
8
(Refer to Figure 7)
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º elbow and a
clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet
to the rear center of the stove.
OPTION: Install L-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate
stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling.
Install ceiling support and L-Vent pipe per L-Vent manufacturer’s
instructions.
1. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials.
When passing through additional floors or ceilings, always
install firestop spacer.
2. After lining up for hole in roof, cut either around or square hole
in roof, always 3” larger all the way around pipe. Install upper
edge and sides of flashing under roofing materials, nail to the
roof along upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads
with non-hardening waterproof mastic.
3. Apply non-hardening, waterproof mastic where the storm collar
will meet the vent and flashing. Slide storm collar down until it
sits on the flashing. Seal and install cap. Mobile home
installations must use a spark arrester.
C. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Adapters are available to adapt from 3” L-Vent to 6” or 8” Class-A
chimney. (Figure 8a)
As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Vent can be run inside existing chimney
to termination. (Figure 8b)
This is the preferred method.
Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.
D. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney
sweep or installer to determine its structural condition.
2. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from
the hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will
need a pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches.
3. Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the
outside air pipe, as shown in Figure 9.
4. Attach the L-vent adapter, a section of pipe and clean out tee,
making sure the clean out tee is centered in the chimney flue
area. Use RTV, metallic tape, and a minimum of three selftaping screws at all joint connections to ensure a tight seal.
5. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
6. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for
chimney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe. Install and seal
with non-hardening mas tic to prevent water leakage. Install
vent cap.
