A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
OT 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:
operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.
• Safety, convenience, traffic flow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-
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.

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.
CAUTION
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
C. 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
OT 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
D. Negative Pressure
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

E. 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
Inspect appliance and components for
damage. Damaged parts may impair safe
operation.
• Do NOT install damaged components.
• Do NOT install incomplete components.
• Do NOT install substitute components.
Report damaged parts to dealer.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
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.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
• Operating appliance without fully assembling all
components.
• Do NOT Overfire.
Or any such action that may cause a fire hazard.

F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
Santa Fe Pellet Insert
• 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
(6mm) inch 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.

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
R
B. Venting Termination Requirements
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 Building Code (ICC) 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.
CAUTION
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
1. 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.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally
from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.

D. Pipe Selection Chart
The chart will help you in determing proper venting size according to the equivalent feet of pipe
calcuated above and the altitude above sea level
of this installation. Figure 13.2.
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 1 foot of horizontal pipe, and a
foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a
foot of vertical pipe.

A. Mobile Home Installation
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit for installation in a mobile home.
1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion
air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or
snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is
in use to prevent room air starvation which causes
smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke
alarms.
2. The combustion air duct system must be made of
metal. It must permit zero clearance to combustible
construction and prevent material from dropping into
the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and
contain a rodent screen.
3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home
structure by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts). Use
the same holes that secured the appliance to the shipping pallet.
4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper
grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end
with an NEC approved grounding device.
R
CAUTION
Maintain structural integrity of mobile home:
• Floor, wall, ceiling and/or roof.
Do NOT cut through:
• Floor joist, wall studs or ceiling trusses.
• Any supporting material that would affect the structural
integrity.

5. Refer to clearances to combustibles and floor protection
requirements on pages 9 & 10 for listings to combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.
6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at
the location where the chimney or other component
penetrates to the the exterior of the structure.
7. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.
8. Installation shall be in accordance with the Manufacturers Home & Safety Standard (HUD) CFR 3280, Part
24.
WARNING
Installation must comply with Manufactured Home and
Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24.
