A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Getting Started
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
When locating vent and venting termination, vent above
roof line when possible.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and floor protection,
before actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffic flow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-
Warning! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe
operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.
CAUTION! If burning shelled field corn, you must use ap-
proved venting specifically designed for corn to prevent corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
ance where there will be a clear passage for a factorybuilt listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
• Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the loca-
tion of the vent termination.
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a location of
considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke
spillage from appliance. Do not locate appliance near:
• Frequently open doors
• Central heat outlets or returns
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Windward
Recommended:
Outside Air Intake
on windward side

Recommended Location:
• Above peak
Marginal Location:
• Below peak
Recommended:
• Insulated exterior chase
in cooler climates
• Above peak
• Inside heated space
Multi-level Roofs
Marginal Location:
• Wind loading possible
Location NOT recommended:
• Too close to tree
• Below adjacent structure

R
B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect
performance.
• Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
effects of wind loading.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Consider the appliance location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.
• Take into consideration the termination requirements on
Page 12.
CAUTION
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
C. Wall Control, Thermostat
The wall control’s location will have some affect on the
appliance’s operation.
• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of
the house comfortable.
• When located in an adjacent room or on a different floor
level, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
CAUTION!
appliance. No other wall control or thermostat can be
substituted.
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
The wall control is an integral part of the
E. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances
and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney
system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Downdrafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices

Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)
F. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
• Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your
home.
• Locate smoke detector away from the heating appliance
and close to the sleeping areas.
• Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and
installation instructions and maintain regularly.
• Conveniently locate a Class A fire extinguisher to contend
with small fires.
• In the event of a hopper fire:
• Evacute the house immediately.
• Notify fire department.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding operating instructions.
• Failure to operate appliance properly may
cause a house fire.
WARNING

responsibility for, and the warranty will be
voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance.
• Modification of the appliance.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.

G. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)
• The firebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
firebox in order to gain minimum insert opening requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed
from a factory-built firebox if attached with mechanical fasteners.
• The metal floor of the factory-built firebox may be removed
to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4
inch (6mm) airspace is provided between the insert and
the floor of outer wrap.
The following is only one example as there are many different models of factory-built fireplaces.
Starter hole
Mark area of
floor to cut
Use 2 x 4 from insert
packaging to support insert
Figure 11.3. If the floor is made of thin metal,
we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert
packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4
may need to be cut to the appropriate size.
Keep sharp edge of
metal floor away from
power cord
Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal
floor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.
Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
floor.
Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the factory-built firebox. Ensure that the power
cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal
edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accomodate the cord.
Leveling Leg
Figure 11.5. Ensure that the leveling leg is
positioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert.

NOTICE:
Do NOT Terminate Vent:
• In any location that will allow flue gases or soot from enter-
ing or staining the building.
• In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard.
• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport,
garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch,
narrow walkway.
• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered
breezeway, etc.
NOTICE:
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
• It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of
vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly
through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will
help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into
the home during a power outage.
• It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard
by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
• The safest and preferred venting method is to extend the
vent vertically through the roof or above the roof.

B. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
Mt. Vernon Pellet Insert (AE)
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. Use
Listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside
Air Kit must be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: Use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or
Listed double wall flue connector to Class A Listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International
Residential Code standards for solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use
approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns
if touched. Non-combustible shielding or
guards may be required.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to the owner’s information manual provided with this appliance. For assistance or additional information consult a
qualified installer, service agency or your dealer.
C. Equivalent Feet of Pipe
The table below can help you calculate the equivalent feet
of pipe which is a method used to determine pellet vent size.

D. Pipe Selection Chart
R
The chart will help you in determining proper venting size
according to the equivalent feet of pipe calculated in the Vent
Termination Calculaltion Table and the altitude above sea
level of this installation. See Figure 14.1.
Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on the vertical
left side of the chart. Move to the right horizontally on the
chart until you reach your altitude above sea level.
If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76 to 102mm)
pipe may be used. If it is anywhere above the diagonal line,
a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is required.
The chart reveals that a 90° elbow is 5 times as restrictive
to the flow of exhaust gases under positive pressure as one
foot of horizontal pipe, and a foot of horizontal pipe is twice
as restrictive as a foot of vertical pipe.

WARNING
Fire Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other
combustibles between firestops.
• ALWAYS maintain specified clearances
around venting and firestop systems.
• Install firestops as specified.
Failure to keep insulation or other material
away from vent pipe may cause fire.
