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, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

Placement

Where you place your Stove can significantly affect its performance and safety.

A	Your Home Acts Like a Chimney
	We recommend that you help your home by:		A
	1.	Using a minimum of 5 feet of vertical venting
	2.	Use the supplied outside air kit
	3.	Install your Stove on a main floor location
	This will:			1
	•	Help your Stove breathe
	•	Minimize smoke leakage in the house				3
	•	Enhance performance		2
	Clearance to Combustibles
	The space between your Stove and the items in your home
	that could burn. Materials such as:		B			D
B	•	Wood			G
	•	Sheet rock (drywall)
	•	Carpet				E

WARNING!

Asphyxiation Risk.

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

For Canada, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365

C Pellet Venting

Adding bends in the exhaust path restricts air flow, 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 flue damper in the exhaust venting system of this

Stove

•Do not connect this Stove to a chimney flue serving another Stove

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

REQUIRED:

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

Pro Tip

This Stove can be installed with a 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter Kit. The 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or Listed double wall flue connector to ClassAListed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International Conference of Building Officials (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.

Notice: Be careful to protect the bottom of the Stove and floor surfaces when moving the Stove. Bottom edges of Stove are sharp and can scratch surfaces.

Notice: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

CAUTION!

Take appropriate precautions to locate utilities within the wall and avoid contact.

1Mark and cut wall for venting penetration on exterior wall (if needed).

2Install wall thimble (sold separately) per manufacturer requirements.

3Install venting. (For additional installation options visit pelprostoves.com)

4Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

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 specified by the manufacturer

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.

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.
• 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 foot of straight pipe	Try to keep them as short as possible.

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

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

•Some venting manufacturers offer 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

•Confirm 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.

6	Install outside air kit (included)	B
	For optimal performance, PelPro recommends the outside air kit for
	all installations. Outside air kit is required for all mobile/manufactured
	home installations.
	Install through wall B
	• Maintain clearances from exhaust
	• Remove knock out in the rear of Stove
	- Attach flex pipe to outside air connection
	on Stove
	- Use hose clamp
	- Route tube outside the structure
	- Attach cap
	- Secure to outside wall with appropriate fasteners
	Take a Break
	Inspect your work:	CAUTION!
	_____ Confirm clearances to combustibles are maintained
		Never draw outside
	_____ Pipe joints are secure and properly sealed	combustion air from:
		• Wall, floor or ceiling cavity
	_____ Outside air kit installed properly	• Enclosed space such as an
		attic, garage or crawl space.

Fuel Tips

Fuel Material and Fuel Storage

Pellet fuel quality can greatly fluctuate. 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

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 certified 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.
