THROUGH THE WALL, DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION.
1.
Select the location for your stove, design the exhaust system and deter‐
mine the brand and size of "PL" vent to be used.
2.
Position the floor pad.
3.
Following the "PL" vent manufacturer's specifications, mark and cut a hole
through the wall to accommodate the wall thimble, (6), and the outside air
pipe, (9), if outside air is to be used. Remember that the outside air intake
must be located no closer than 12" from the vent exhaust. Try to avoid
cutting wall studs, and use extreme caution to avoid cutting into power or
water lines within the wall of your home.
4. Install the wall thimble, (6). Be sure to run a bead of silicone around the out‐
side edges of the wall thimble to reduce drafts, both inside and outside.
Insert the proper size of "PL" vent, (5), through the wall thimble, (6).
5. Place your stove on the floor pad, close to its final position. Leave room to
connect the "PL" vent to "Quick Connect" end collar. Install the gasket (2)
and "Quick Connect" exhaust end (3) to your stove to the "Quick Connect" mounting plate. Use the (4) 7/16" nuts, to se‐
cure tightly.
6.
Place a bead of High Temp (550°F) RTV silicone around the end collar of the "Quick Connect" of your stove's exhaust, (3).
Firmly push the "PL" vent pipe adaptor (4) into the bead of High Temp (550°F) RTV silicone.
Note: If 4" PL vent is required, use an 3" to 4" Pipe Adaptor Increaser, (4), on the stove exhaust pipe.
7.
Connect the length of "PL" vent, (5), that is in the thimble, (6), onto the pipe adaptor (4). Fasten together with at least
three sheet metal screws (approx. 3/8" in length). Place a bead of High Temp (550°F) RTV silicone around the connection.
8.
Place your stove in its final position on the pad. Place another bead of High Temp (550°F) RTV silicone around the "PL"
vent (6) and the inside of the wall thimble, to stop cold air drafts.
9. On the outside of the building, place an exhaust cap (7) or a 45 degree "PL" type elbow, (7), onto the end of the horizontal
"PL" vent, (5). Optionally, place a rodent screen cap (may be required in some locals), on the end of the elbow, (7). Run a
bead of High Temp (550°F) RTV silicone around all connections and around the "PL" vent pipe and the outside of the wall
thimble. Note: The end of the exhaust pipe must extend a minimum of 12" from the outside of the building.
Note: Most horizontal, through the wall installations may require a Clean-out Tee and minimum 3 feet vertical
rise of pipe, inside or outside the building.
