Venting Requirements; Freestanding Stove Venting - Whitfield quest Owner's Manual And Operating Instructions

Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that only an authorized dealer install your
pellet stove. The following installation guidelines must be followed to ensure
conformity with both the safety listing of the stove and local building codes.
WARNING: Do not vent into a flue serving another appliance. Do not install a
damper in the exhaust pipe.
CAUTION: On all direct vent installations (short, horizontal runs), care should
be taken when choosing a location for terminating the vent. It is not recom-
mended to directly vent the exhaust pipe on the prevailing wind side of the house.

FREESTANDING STOVE VENTING

A listed 3 or 4 inch type "L" pellet vent exhaust system must be used for freestanding installa-
tions and attached (and sealed) to the pipe connector provided on the back of the stove. Use a
3-to-4 inch adapter or a 3-to-4 inch "tee" in order to run 4 inch pipe. The vent termination must
be located no less than 48" (1.2m) from any opening through which flue gases could re-enter
the building (such as windows and doors), not less than 24" (0.6m) from an adjacent building,
and not less than 7' (2.2m) above grade when located near public walk-ways. The final termina-
tion of the exhaust system must be configured so that flue gases do not jeopardize the safety of
people passing by, overheat combustible portions of nearby structures, or enter the building.
Keep brush, plants and shrubs at least 36" (0.9m) away from the vent termination. Since sparks
may escape from the exhaust pipe of any stove, always use caution when positioning the vent
pipe. NOTE: Refer to the pipe manufacturer's instructions when installing and terminat-
ing the exhaust.
