Combustion Air
Air supplied to your stove and utilized for
combustions can come from two sources,
room air or outside air.
•
All mobile home installations require that
outside air be provided to the pellet-
burning appliance.
•
Outside air is also recommended for all
other installations, especially if
appliance is being installed into a well-
insulated airtight home.
•
Only metal pipe, rigid or flexible, is to be
used for all outside air applications (PVC
or other combustible materials must
NOT be used).
•
A wind shield, rain cap or 90 degree
down turned elbow must be used at the
end of the air intake pipe to restrict
excessive wind from blowing into the
stove and to prevent water from entering
the air intake.
•
Use of ¼" rodent screen must also be
used at the end of the air intake pipe to
restrict entrance and possible blockage
of the air intake.
•
Outside air must not be drawn from any
enclosed space (garage, enclosed
porch, unventilated crawl space, etc.)
•
The combustion air inlet pipe on your
Buffalo Pellet Stove is 2" OD, the metal
pipe connected to the air inlet pipe on
your stove must be at least 2" ID (must
be fit over the pipe on the stove, not
inside).
•
Outside air pipe termination must not
end above or within 1' below the
exhaust system termination point
outside the home.
Fresh Air Intake Damper (Optional)
The rate at which fresh air is supplied to the
burn pot for combustion is regulated by the
exhaust blower speed. The exhaust blower
pulls fresh air through the fresh air intake and
draws it to the fire. In most typical
installations there is no need to restrict the air
being drawn in through the air intake tube. If
your installation has an extended vertical rise
of vent pipe in the exhaust system, it may be
possible that the natural draft due to the
exhaust system will draw air to the fire at
higher rate than is desired. If your installatio
has more than 10 feet of vertical rise in the
exhaust system, contact your Buffalo Pellet
Stove dealer to purchase a fresh air intake
damper that can be installed on the end of
your fresh air intake to compensate for the
vertical rise in the exhaust system.
E
xhaust System Termination
1. If it is necessary to terminate the
exhaust system on the prevailing
side of the home (which is strongly
NOT suggested) a minimum of 5 fee
of vertical rise should be included in
the exhaust system.
2.
Do not terminate the
any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas
such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl
space or any other area within which
exhaust gasses can accumulate and/o
concentrate.
3.
Exhaust syste
using and approved cap (to prevent
water from entering the exhaust
system) or using a 45-degree elb
pointed in a downward direction.
4.
Termination must not be located w
snow, leaves, grass or any other
material could block it.
