The ENVIRO Evolution (EF5) can be vented through the wall using two different methods.
It is recommended that the installation has some vertical rise in the system.
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WALL
1. Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows
installation with the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.
2. Place the appliance 15" (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set
the unit on it.
3. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have
located the center point on the wall, use a hole saw to cut a 10" (254 mm) diameter hole for a 3" (76
mm) vent pipe or an 11" (279 mm) hole for a 4" (101 mm) vent pipe.
4. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble.
5. Install a length of 3" (76 mm) or 4" (101 mm) vent pipe into the wall thimble. The pipe should install
easily into the thimble.
6. Install the fresh air intake.
7. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal all connections with high
temperature silicone.
8. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 2" (5 cm) clearance from the back of the stove to
the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone.
9. The pipe must extend at least 12"(30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another length
of pipe (PL type) to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place
high temperature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.
10. Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination. The
stainless steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However,
when the vent terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within
several feet, a 45° elbow with rodent screen can be used as a termination. The elbow must be turned
down to prevent rain from entering.
NOTE:
Some horizontal-through-wall installations may require a "T" and a 3 to 5 foot of vertical pipe outside the
building to help natural draft in the unit.
This may be required if a proper burn cannot be maintained, after the stove has been tested and the
airflow set.
This is due to the backpressure in the exhaust caused by airflow around the structure.
