Install Guide
A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
• Overhang, sots, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
re ocials or authorities having jurisdiction over
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will aect performance.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add sucient additional support to meet this
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, trac ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 426 lbs. with a full load of fuel the max weight
is 473 lbs.
to minimize the use of chimney osets.
• Place the appliance where there will be a clear
passage for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and
roof (vertical) or through exterior wall (horizontal).
• Installing the required outside air kit will aect the
location of the vent termination.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the aects of wind loading.

B. 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
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 (OAK-3) is recommended in all
installations and must be ordered separately.
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 back drafting of those and other
appliances.
Vent Congurations
When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent
conguration the frequency of power outages should be
considered:
• Power outages during operation will cause the
appliance to immediately turn o and may create
conditions where smoke will back draft into the house.
In order to reduce the likelihood of smoke back drafting
into the house during a power outage, Hearth and
Home Technologies strongly suggests:
-Installing the pellet venting with a minimum vertical
run of 5 feet (1.52m).
-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 specied clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated sots.
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 12 inches (305mm)
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.
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO
A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.

C. 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
appliances 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 eects 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
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure dierence needed to vent an
appliance successfully. When an appliance is drafting
successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the
home through the chimney.
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
NOTE: The appliance exhaust outlet is designed to
accommodate 3 inch venting. Use of 4 inch
venting requires the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust
vent increaser in addition to any other venting
components needed, sold separately.
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 Oset
Adapter, use Listed double wall ue connector. A
Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit (OAK-3) 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
Oset 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 Residential Code standards for
solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCE 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 APPLIANCE.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE 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).
WARNING
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED VENTING
COMPONENTS; OTHERWISE MAKESHIFT PARTS
MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR DEATH.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of
the chimney system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
