DT2010232-02 1.9 CONNECTING TO A CONvENTIONAL ChIMNEy The stove may be connected to an existing Class A chimney or a masonry Fig. 12 chimney which meets the minimum requirements of NFPA 211. Using this kind of installation the pellet stove is able to draft naturally without exhaust blower operation (failure), reducing the probability of burn-back and back-drafting.
DT2010232-02 1.10 INSTALLING INTO AN ExISTING FIREbOx ChIMNEy This kind of installation also provides natural draft in the event of a Fig. 15 power failure. When installing as a hearth mount stove into a firebox the unit must either be relined, terminating above the chimney chase top, or positively connected to the existing chimney system using a block off plate (Fig.
This configuration will help prevent blockage of vent by snow drifts. Also the minimum vertical run of 5 feet (1.5 m) ensures the ventilation of the exhaust in the event of a power failure, and allow for easier cleaning through cleanout on tee. Certain local code restrictions may apply.
The clearance to a door, window or cavity must be at least: - 1.5’ (458 mm) below; - 1.5’ (458 mm) horizontally; - 9’’ (230 mm) above.
