Selkirk DT-M Installation Instructions Manual

Type PL Vent System for Pellet, Corn and other Bio-Fuel Burning Appliances
Introduction
Direct-Temp for Multi-Fuel Stoves (DT-M) is a unique vent-
ing system designed to vent flue gases produced by burning
corn or other bio-fuels.
DT-M is a concentric vent system that converts any con-
ventional corn-burning or multi-fuel burning stove into a Di-
rect Vent System. The inner wall is con-
structed of superferritic AL29-4C stainless
steel for exhausting flue gases, while the
annular space between the flue and the
outer jacket brings in combustion air for
the appliance.
Listing
DT-M has been tested and listed by Underwriters Labora-
tories, Inc. in accordance with UL641, the Standard for Low
Temperature Gas Venting Systems. DT-M is also Listed to
the Canadian Standard CAN/ULC-S609 for Low Tempera-
ture Vents Type L (gas and oil) and Type PL (Pellet, Corn
and Multi-fuel) in which the maximum continuous flue gas
outlet temperatures does not exceed 570° F (300°C).
Sizes and applications
DT-M is manufactured in 3" and 4" sizes. DT-M installed in
accordance with these instructions comply with National
Safety Standards such as NFPA 211 in the US and CSA-
B365 in Canada. A DT-M system may be used for venting
gas or oil fired appliances listed for use as a Type L Vent in
addition to Listed bio-fuel burning appliances for use as a
Type PL Vent.
If you choose to have your product professionally installed,
we recommend DT-M be installed by professionals who
are certified in the USA by NFI (National Fireplace Insti-
tute) or in Canada by WETT (Wood Energy Technology
Transfer).
The intended location of DT-M is for interior use, exterior
above a roof line or horizontal sidewall venting.
Contact your local building authority and/or fire officials for
permits, restrictions and installation inspections. You may
also wish to contact your home insurance representative.
Be sure the selected size is adequate for the appliance and

the selected height of the DT-M termination is sufficient to
conform to building code requirements and the termination
height guidelines given elsewhere in these instructions. The
vent should be sized according to the appliance
manufacturer's instructions.
Minimum Clearance and Framing
DT-M requires a minimum of 1"(25mm) airspace clearance
to combustibles materials. "Combustibles" include framing
lumber, insulation, plaster, plywood, paneling and other build-
ing materials.
The airspace is required for the safe operation of the vent.
Do not fill this space with insulation or any other material.
NOTE: If other sources of combustion air are provided,
the Intake Air Snout may be closed off with non-combus-
tible material such as aluminum tape. In such cases, the
minimum clearance remains at 1"(25mm).
Pre-Installation Guidelines
•
The appliance manufacturer`s instructions take precedence
over this document.
•
Read all instructions before beginning the installation.
•
Failure to conform to any of these requirements may re-
sult in an unsafe installation and will void any manufac-
turer warranty.
•
Practice safety. Vent sections have sharp edges. Wear
safety goggles and gloves when handling and installing.
•
Do not mix DT-M parts with vent from any other system.
