Design, Installation & Location Considerations
Getting Started
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.
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-
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.
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.
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 approved venting specifi cally designed for corn to prevent corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
NOTICE: Lo
cating 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
Figure 5.1

R
Castile Pellet Insert
B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Lo
cation 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
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTON 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
TICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
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
CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
D. Negative Pressure
WARNING!
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
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
Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can

E. Fire Safety
To
provide reasonable fi re safety, the following shoul
d 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.

F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
Castile Pellet Insert
• The
fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
fi rebox 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 rebox 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.
The following is only one example as there are many different models of factory-built fi replaces.
Figure 11.3. 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.
Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal
fl oor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.
Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
fl oor
Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the factory-built fi rebox. 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: Ensure that the leveling leg is positioned over
the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert. See page 18, for detailed instructions
on how to adjust the leveling legs.

H. Altering the Factory-Built Fireplace
• Th
e 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
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 must be returned to original
condition for use as a conventional fi replace. Figure
11.1
• If the hearth extension is lower than the fi replace 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.
NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for recommendations on supporting the liner. Installation into
fi replaces without a permit will void the listing
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances and instructions
when installing venting system.
NOTICE: In Canada when using a factory-built chimney it must be safety listed, Type UL103 HT (2100

diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using
the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3
to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed
double wall fl ue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter
Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter
are tested to 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
Conference of Building Offi cials (ICBO) 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). Do not put silicone inside
of pipe.
NOTE: If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use approved
venting specifi cally designed for corn. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
• O
nly 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. Noncombustible 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
cal 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 (1.2m) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) 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 (2.13m) 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

D. Pipe Selection Chart
The chart will help you in determing proper venting size
calcuated above and the altitude above sea level
of this installation. Figure 14.2.
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 fl ow 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.
according to the equivalent feet of pipe

Example 1: If the equivalent length of pipe is 23 feet with altitude of
8,000 feet
you must use 4 inch (102mm) diameter type “L” or “PL”
vent.
Example 2: If the equivalent length of pipe is 12 feet with altitude of
6,000 feet you may use 3 or 4 inch (76 to 102mm) diameter type “L”
or “PL” vent
