When planning the installation, consider the location of the
vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most common
clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 11.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against Figures
11 and 12.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be burned
by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when the stove
is operating.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot be
damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn mowers
or snowblowers and it should be located away from areas
where it could become blocked by snow, etc.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into contact
with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 9" (230 mm)} through which
exhaust gas could reenter the building.
• All vegetation within 3' (914 mm) that may interfere with
the draft.
Other factors that influence where the installation will be
sited include the location of outside walls, where additional
heat may be desired in the home, where the family members
gather most regularly, and perhaps most importantly, the
distance limitations of the venting system.

IMPORTANT
•
The horizontal termination must not be recessed into
the exterior wall or siding.
•
Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent
termination.
•
Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.

Vent Termination Clearances
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the side
wall, or vertical through the roof.
• Vermont Castings Group does not require any opening
for inspection of vent pipe.
• Only venting components specifically approved and
labelled for this stove may be used.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one (1") inch (25mm), except
where stated otherwise.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden
sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the
front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice
build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area
after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of
venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow
is not directed towards vent termination area.
Location of Vent Termination:
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing the
minimum clearances as shown in Figure 11.
