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, fi re
offi cials 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, soffi ts, 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 fl oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow
• 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 fi eld corn, you must use ap-
proved venting specifi cally designed for corn to prevent corro-
sion 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

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 fi re.
• 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 fl oor 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.
May allow fl ue gases to enter the house
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
To measure the draft or negative pressure on your appliance
use a magnahelic or a digital pressure gauge capable of
reading 0 - .25 inches of water column (W.C.).
The appliance should be running on high for at least 15
minutes for the test.
With the stove running on high you should have a negative
pressure equal to or greater than the number given in the
chart below. If you have a lower reading than you fi nd on the
chart, your appliance does not have adequate draft to burn
the fuel properly.
D. 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
Minimum Vacuum Requirements: .095

E. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust
blower operation.
Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft
if not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This
air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which
fl ows into lower levels of the house.
Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the
house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse
under these conditions.
Outside Air
An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The
Outside Air Kit must be ordered seperately.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given
to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance
demands may lead to backdrafting of those and other
appliances.
Vent Confi gurations
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down
conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of
5 feet (1.52m). Preferably terminating above the roof
line.
• Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m)
below the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and
to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• Maintain specifi ed clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffi ts.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 6 inches (152mm)
from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you
see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to
extend this distance to accommodate your installation
conditions.
When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during the
heating season.
When the appliance is side-wall vented:
The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall
as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall
than the exhaust vent outlet.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands
of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to
the total house demand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the appliance. It may be necessary to add additional ventilation to
the space in which the pellet appliance is located.
Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine
the ventilation demands for your house.

F. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fi re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
• Install at least one smoke detector on each fl oor 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 fi re extinguisher to contend
with small fi res.
• In the event of a hopper fi re:
• Evacute the house immediately.
• Notify fi re department.

clearance fi re-
places listed to UL 127 conforming to the following specifi cations and instructions:
•The original factory-built zero clearance fi replace chimney cap must be re-installed after installing the approved
chimney liner meeting type UL 103 HT requirements
(2100°F) per UL 1777.
•If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements,
or if the factory built fi replace was tested prior to 1998, a
full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the
appliance fl ue collar to the chimney top.
•The liner must be securely attached to the insert fl ue collar
and the chimney top.
•The air fl ow of the factory-built zero-clearance fi replace
system must not be altered. The fl ue liner top support
attachment must not reduce the air fl ow for the existing
air-cooled chimney system.

Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Fireplace
R
• The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built fi re-
box in order to gain minimum insert opening requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed
from a factory-built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fasteners.
• The metal fl oor of the factory-built fi replace 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 fl oor of
outer wrap.
• This should have prior approval from authority having jurisdiction. Upon removal, the factory built fi replace is no longer
considered a UL 127 Listed fi replace, only a metal box.
• Ensure the metal box is supported to hold weight of the chimney and the insert. Maintain clearances to combustibles.
The following is only one example as there are many different
models of factory-built fi replaces.
Starter hole
Mark area of
floor to cut
Figure 12.1. Measure and mark the metal fl oor for cutting. With
a drill, make a starter hole in each corner.
In Figure 2.3 Ensure that the power cord can not be damaged
by the sharp metal edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accommodate the cord.
NOTE: If the fl oor 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. Ensure
that the leveling bolt is positioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the insert.
H. Altering the Factory-Built Fireplace
• The fireplace must not be altered, except for the
exceptions listed below. Do not removal the bricks and
mortar from the existing fi replace.
The following modifi cations are premissible:
• Removal of damper or locked in open position
• Removal of smoke shelf or baffl e
• Removal of ember catches
• Removel of fi re grate
• Removal of view screen/curtain
• Removal of doors
• External trim pieces which do not affect the operation
of the fi replace may be removed providing they can be
stored on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the
insert is removed.
• The permanent metal warning label provided must be
attached to the back of the fi replace, with screws or
nails, stating that the fi replace may have been altered
to accommodate the insert, and the fi replace must be
returned to original condition befor use as a conventional
fi replace. Figure 12.4.
• If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace
opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the
hearth must be supported.
• Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be
ordered from your dealer.
• Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
Castile Pellet Insert
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 fl ue connector. A Quadra-Fire outside air kit must
be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: Use 24 gauge single wall fl ue connector or
Listed double wall fl ue 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.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
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 fi eld corn, you must use approved
venting specifi cally designed for corn. Follow the instruc-
tions 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.
•
Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances
and instructions when installing venting system.
WARNING
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Non-combustible shielding or guards
may be required.
NOTICE: In Canada when using a factory-built chim-
ney it must be safety listed, Type UL103 HT (2100oF)

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 strongly 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 soffi ts.
• 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.
