INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the FP-45 pellet stove. You are now prepared to burn 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.
Your FP-45 has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-95 Standard Specification for Room
Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning Type 1, UL 1482-1998 and ULC-S627-00 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 and CSA-C22.1.
This appliance is designed for use with pelletized wood only. Do not burn coal of any type in this
appliance. It is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building
codes as a freestanding or insert 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 blowers and fuel feed
system.
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 8,200
BTU/LB. Avoid burning high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and
eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
We recommend that our pellet hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) or in Canada by WETT (Wood
Energy Technical Training) or in Quebec by APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage).
The FP-45 should not be used for commercial or industrial applications since operational control is
often not well managed in these settings
WARNING: T
HE INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL AFFIXED TO THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS
OVERRIDES THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED, IN ANY OTHER MEDIA (OWNER’S MANUAL,
CATALOGUES, FLYERS, MAGAZINES AND/OR WEB SITES).

your dealer.
Do not touch the hot surfaces of the
heater. 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.
High ambient temperature in summer
time may cause the heat sensors on the stove to
activate the blowers, disconnect the stove when
not used for extended periods..
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.
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.

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 least twice a year for any build up
of soot or creosote.
The exhaust system must be
completely airtight and properly installed. All vent
connector joints must be sealed and fastened in
accordance with the pellet pipe manufacturer's
instructions to ensure consistent performance and
avoid smoke and ash spillage.
Your stove requires maintenance and
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead
to smoke spillage in your home.
This stove is designed and approved for
pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel
burned in this heater will void the warranty.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED
If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air be easily
available to the air inlet. A closable outside air register can be used in
tightly insulated homes.
VENTING
The FP-45 is certified for use with a vent certified to UL-103 or ULC S629M
and a chimney type vent certified to UL-641 or ULC-S-609-M89 and
ULC/ORD C441-M90, with 3” or 4” inner diameter. In Canada, we
recommend that you usea listed pellet vent that meets the ULC S-609-M89
and ULC/ORD C441-M90 Standards. For the United States, we
recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL-641, 7
edition Standard. This unit can be vented in an existing chimney with the
addition of a liner if the chimney is more than 4” in diameter. Class “A”
chimney is not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent or
chimney manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or
roof.
Your venting system should have at least one foot of vertical rise for
each foot of horizontal run. The total vertical rise should ne ve r be
less than 3 feet (see Appendix A).
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be
sealed and fastened in accordance with the pellet pipe manufacturer's
instructions to ensure consistent performance and avoid smoke and ash
spillage.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING

EQUIVALENT VENT LENGHT (EVL)
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the greather the restriction in
the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used for longer
runs.
Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Leng th
(EVL).
Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
To calculate EVL, use the following conversions table:

1 ft Horizontal pipe run 1
1 ft Vertical pipe run 0.5
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4” diameter
vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.
Here is an example on how to calculate the EVL of your installation. (See
Figure 8)
(3 x 4’ of vertical length = 12’ x 0.5 = 6 EVL) + (1 x elbow or "T" = 5 EVL) +
(2 x 1’ of horizontal length = 2 EVL)
Total EVL = (6 + 5 +2) = 13. So 3” diameter vent is acceptable.
Note: Do not count the outside termination (goose neck) in the EVL
calculation.
INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS
A. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL (Refer to Figures 7, 8, or 10)
NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figures 1 & 2.
2. Determine position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent
(refer to figure 4).
3. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials.
4. Install Vent wall thimble per Vent manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6 inches
beyond the exterior wall. There should always be at least one foot of
vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run (see Appendix A). At least
3 feet of vertical rise are needed in all cases. A longer vertical rise
will favour a better exhaust.
6. To reduce the risk of smoke spillage, never terminate with a
horizontal run. If your system terminates with a horizontal run, add at
least 3 feet of vertical rise (see Appendix A).
7. Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening
waterproof mastic.
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.

B. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9 –
Venting through roof)
NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
OPTION: To achieve a centered 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 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 Vent pipe per 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 a round 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 flexible waterproof
sealant.
3. Apply flexible, waterproof sealant where the storm collar meets the
vent. 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
As an alternative, 3” or 4” Vent can be run inside existing chimney to
termination (Figure 11). This is the preferred method.
Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.

4. Attach the DuraVent 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 self-taping screws at
all joint connections to ensure a tight seal.
5. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney pipe, and
if used the outside air pipe. Install and seal with flexible waterproof sealant
to prevent water leakage. Install vent cap.
INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF MASONRY CHIMNEY
NOTE: Follow Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2. Mark
the center of the hole where the pipe is to pierce the masonry
chimney.
2. It will be necessary to cut out the masonry around the location of the
pipe center mark. Cut a 4-inch diameter hole for 3-inch pipe and 5inch diameter hole for 4-inch pipe.
3. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney pipe,
and if used the outside air pipe.
4. Install the tee on the bottom of the vertical pipe system and lower it
down the chimney until the center branch of the tee is level with the
center of the hole in the masonry, as shown in Figure 13.
5. Install and seal the top plate from step 3 with flexible waterproof
sealant. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and while holding the pipe
at the proper elevation, affix the collar with a minimum of three 1/4”
stainless steel sheet metal screws. Seal all joints and seams around
the collar.
6. Connect the horizontal pipe by pushing it through the hole in the
masonry and lining it up with the branch in the tee. Push the pipe into
the tee while twisting it to lock it into the tee.
7. If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space between the
pipe and masonry may be filled with high-temperature grout.
