A.
HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL
NOTE: See "VENTING" and follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer's
instructions.
1.
Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in this manual.
2.
Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent.
3.
Always maintain 3" clearance from combustible materials.
4.
Install L-Vent wall thimble per L-Vent manufacturer's
instructions.
5.
Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6" beyond
exterior walls. An 8-foot vertical pipe run is suggested where
possible to reduce the possibility of smoke spill age in the event
of a loss of negative pressure.
6.
Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening
waterproof mastic.
7.
Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases
can ignite trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard to children.
Exhaust gases can reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause
serious burns if touched.
Locate terminations: a) not less than 3 feet above any forced air inlet
located within 10 feet; b) not less than 4 feet below or horizontally
from, or one foot above, any door, window or gravity air inlet into
any building; c) not less than two feet from an adjacent building and
not less than 7 feet above grade when located adjacent to a public
walkway.
B.
VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM
NOTE: See "VENTING" and follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer's
instructions. OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º
elbow and a clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the
exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove. OPTION: Install L-Vent
elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove. Drop plumb bob to
center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling. Install ceiling support
and L-Vent pipe per L-Vent manufacturer's instructions.
1.
Always maintain 3" clearance from combustible materials. When
passing through additional floors or ceilings, always install
firestop spacer.

2.
After lining up for hole in roof, cut either around or square hole in
roof, always 3" larger all the way around pipe. Install upper edge
and sides of flashing under roofing materials, nail to the roof
along upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads with
non-hardening waterproof mastic.
Apply non-hardening, waterproof mastic where the storm collar will
meet the vent and flashing. Slide storm collar down until it sits on
the flashing. Seal and install cap.

Adapters are available to adapt from 3" L-Vent to 6" or 8" Class-A
chimney. As an alternative, 3" or 4" L-Vent can be run inside existing
chimney to termination. This is the preferred method. Follow
FIGURE 10
guidelines for equivalent vent length.

VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE
NOTE: See "VENTING" and follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer's
instructions.
1.
Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney
sweep or installer to determine its structural condition.
2.
You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the
hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a
pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches.

Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the
outside air pipe, as shown.
