Cleaning the Negative Pressure Tube

Cleaning the Vent
Flyash will deposit along
sections that are horizontal.
WHENEVER ANY PORTION OF THE PELLET VENT IS DISCONNECTED, THE JOINTS MUST
BE SEALED WITH RTV 500° F. SILICONE SEALANT, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.

Maintenance
Make sure the cap is free of debris
(especially if it has a screen that could
become blocked).
Check the vent sections for creosote
accumulation (indicating a poorly burning
stove). Accumulation over 1/4" must be
removed.
On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest portion
is often the point where the vent turns upwards
(i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee" has a built-
in clean-out cover. Place a container under the
"Tee", disconnect the cover and remove all flyash.
While open, use a flashlight to look up the vent to
check for build-up.
