PELLET VENT TYPE:

factory built type "A" chimney using an adaptor.
⇒
Exception: A single wall "All Fuel" Stainless Steel chimney liner may be used inside a fireplace or fire‐
place installations.

Some venting manufactures do make "PL" vent for use with wood pellet fuel only and another type of
"PL" vent for corn or bio mass fuels. If in doubt, plan for the future and use the corn or multi‐fuel.
⇒
Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner height is over 15' or if installation is over 3.000' above sea level.
NOTE: 4" diameter vent may be used in all installations. If in doubt, use 4" diameter vent. (See diagram

VENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
A "Clean Out Tee" (A) must be installed at the bottom of all vertical runs. These "Tee's" are to assist in
p eriodically cleaning the vent. Single or Double clean out tees may be used. The exhaust system must
b e installed so the entire system can be cleaned without disassembly.
Termination must exhaust above the fresh air inlet
elevation, and parallel or above the exhaust output
of the pellet fuel appliance.
It is highly recommended that at least 3 feet of vertical
pipe (B) be installed to create some natural draft. This
is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor dur‐
Ing the appliance shut down.
Horizontal sections must have a 1/4" rise every 12" of
travel after 3' long.
Use (3) fastening screws per joint.
Pellet vent connections must be sealed gas tight. Use
High Temp (550°F) RTV Silicone or Hi‐temp Aluminum foil
tape.
Seal each vent section by injecting a liberal amount of
sealant into the gap or wrap with foil tape.
It is strongly recommended that the exhaust system
be terminated on the prevailing wind side of the home.
