INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
is manual describes the installation and operation of the Breckwell, SP24 wood heater. is heater meets the
2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold a er May 15,
2015. Under speci c test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 6,569 to
34,785 Btu/hr.
ank you for purchasing the Breckwell Pellet Burning Stove, you are now prepared to burn wood in the most
e cient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most e cient 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.
e 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.
is stove has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-12 Standard Speci cation for Room Heaters, Pellet
Fuel Burning Type 1, ULC-S627 Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, and Oregon Administrative Rules for
Mobile Homes (814-23-900 through 814-23-909) and Installation as a Stove Heater.
is 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. e authority having jurisdiction (such as
municipal building department, re department, re prevention bureau, etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.
is appliance is designed speci cally 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. e stove will not
operate using natural dra 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).
is stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the re 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 calori c value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels
because this will rapidly ll up the burn pot and eventually cut o the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Pellet Stoves should not be used since
operational control is o en not well managed in these settings

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside
source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either exible
or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to gures 5 &
6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at
the terminus (refer to gure 7). 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 rst 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 replaces
• Chimney top.
• Ash clean out door.
b. For freestanding installations
• A hole in oor near stove rear terminating only in a ventilatcrawl
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. In insert installations, ashing vents should not be restricted.
e ashing should not necessarily seal the replace face.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Dra is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the
chimney. e amount of dra in your chimney depends on the length of the
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much
dra may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate dra
may cause backpu ng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate dra will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive dra .
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to
neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.

VENTING
e Breckwell P24 Freestanding is certi ed for use with listed TYPE L-Vent,
3” or 4” diameter in size. e 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.
is 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.
It is strongly recommended that you have a minimum of 6’ of vertical pipe
in your exhaust system. For best performance of the stove limit the number
of elbows and horizontal pipe as much as possible
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.

EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH EVL
e longer the run of pipe in your installation (both with insert and freestanding), the more restriction there is in the system. erefore, 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 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.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL (refer to Figure 8)
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 gure 5).
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 than 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.

B. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9a & 9b)
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 o set the pipe from the exhaust outlet
to the rear center of the stove (see gure 9a). You can also use the P24FS Vertical Install Kit (part # A-VIK) (see gure 9b).
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 oors or ceilings, always install restop spacer.
2. A er 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 ashing under roo ng materials, nail to the roof along upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads with nonhardening waterproof mastic.
3. Apply non-hardening, waterproof mastic where the storm collar will meet the vent and ashing. Slide storm collar down until it
sits on the ashing. 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” LVent to 6” or 8” Class-A chimney. (Figure
10a)
As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Vent can be
run inside existing chimney to termination. (Figure 10b)
is is the preferred method.
Follow guidelines for equivalent vent
length.
