Installing Your Stove

Installing Your Stove

Getting Ready

Pro Tip

We highly recommend your Stove and pellet vent pipe be installed by a professional installer.
Your retailer can make recommendations for you.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re o󰀩cials or authorities having jurisdic­tion over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

Placement

Where you place your Stove can signicantly a󰀨ect its performance and safety.

Your Home Acts Like a Chimney

A

We recommend that you help your home by:

1. Using a minimum of 5 feet of vertical venting

2. Use the supplied outside air kit

3. Install your Stove on a main oor location

A

This will:

• Help your Stove breathe

• Minimize smoke leakage in the house

• Enhance performance

Clearance to Combustibles

The space between your Stove and the items in your home
that could burn. Materials such as:

• Wood

B

• Sheet rock (drywall)

• Carpet

WARNING!

Asphyxiation Risk.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM. Consumes oxygen in the room.

Adding bends in the exhaust path restricts air ow, reduces

performance and provides a collection point for ash deposits

requiring more frequent cleaning.

CAUTION

• Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system

• Do not install a ue damper in the exhaust venting system of this
Stove

• Do not connect this Stove to a chimney ue serving another Stove

• The structural integrity of the manufactured home oor, wall and
ceiling/roof must be maintained

REQUIRED:

Use only 3” or 4” type “L” or “PL” pellet pipe.

Installing Your Stove

Pro Tip

This Stove can be installed with a 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent O󰀨set Adapter Kit. The
3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent O󰀨set Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall ue
connector or Listed double wall ue connector to Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry
chimneys meeting International Conference of Building O󰀩cials (ICBO) standards for solid

fuel Stoves.
Caution, do not pass connector pipe through a combustible wall or ceiling. Please refer to

connector pipe installation instructions for details.

*Recommended to prevent condensation on windows and thermal breakage. **This is a recommended distance. For additional requirements check local codes.

NOTICE:
Do NOT terminate vent:

• In any location that will allow ue gases or soot from
entering 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 or narrow walkway

• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered
breezeway, etc.

NOTICE:
Do NOT terminate below an air inlet.

• It is recommended that at least 60” (1.52m) of vertical
pipe be installed when Stove 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

conforming to CAN/ULC-S629M, STANDARD FOR 650oC FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEYS.

Pro Tips

• See venting manufacturer’s required clearances to combustibles

• For horizontal installations, the minimum clearance from exterior to termination cap is 6”—you
may want to increase to 18” clearance to minimize soot blow back on home exterior.

Install vent at clearances specied by the manufacturer

WARNING!

Do not terminate venting 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.

PelPro Pellet Stove • 7104-171C • 10/3/18pelprostoves.com

CAUTION!

Ensure that your Stove venting terminates above
your Stove. The following may occur:

• Your Stove will not draft properly

• Smoke may seep in your house

• Excessive sooting

Venting Your Stove

The maximum horizontal venting allowed with no vertical venting

attached is 48 inches including one 90° elbow or two 45° elbows.
Addition of any horizontal venting beyond 48 inches requires a
minimum 60 inches of additional vertical vent. Horizontal sections

of vent pipe should have a 1/4 inch rise per foot. We recommend
using the shortest venting and fewest elbows possible when venting
horizontal.

We recommend the use of 4 inch vent with any installation requiring
more than two 90° elbows, or more than 15 feet of venting.

• 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 foot of straight pipe

• 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 feet of straight pipe

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.

Notice:

These are guidelines for successful venting
of your pellet Stove. The more vertical rise
you can obtain in your system, the better it will
perform. Horizontal vent runs can accumulate
ash and will need to be cleaned more often.
Try to keep them as short as possible.

Installing Your Stove

• Install pellet venting through wall and connect vent/pipe to Stove

• Some venting manufacturers o󰀨er pellet Stove adapters for their
venting for easier installation

• Seal all pipe joints using high-temp silicone (500°+)

• Secure exhaust venting system to the Stove with at least 3 screws or
rivets per the pipe manufacturer’s instructions. Also secure all connector
pipe joints with at least 3 screws through each joint.

• Install termination cap

• Conrm all required Stove clearances to combustibles

A

Pro Tip

Installing a clean-out “T” (sold separately) to the rear
of your Stove, when venting vertically can save time during cleaning.

Install outside air kit (included)

6

For optimal performance, PelPro recommends the outside air kit for

all installations. Outside air kit is required for all mobile/manufactured

home installations.

Using Your Stove

Fuel Tips

Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly uctuate. We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots

whenever possible. However, we do recommend trying various brands before purchasing
multi-ton lots to ensure your satisfaction. Store fuel in dry location not within clearances to
combustibles of your Stove.

Fuel Material

• Made from sawdust or wood by-products

• Depending on the source material it may have a high or low ash content.

Higher Ash Content Material

• Hardwoods with a high mineral content

• Fuel that contains bark

• Standard grade pellets or high ash pellets

Using Your Stove

Lower Ash Content Material

• Most softwoods

• Fuels with low mineral content

• Most premium grade pellets

Pro Tip

We recommend the use of Pellet Fuels Institute certied pellet fuel with this product.

Your Stove has a manufacture-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is
against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate your Stove in a manner
inconsistent with operation instructions in this manual.
