4 Venting System
4.1 General
Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a
natural draft which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs.
Moreover, a suitable venting system configuration will help getting the best efficiency out
of your stove when installed in accordance with the required EVL (see Section 4.3
Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)).
Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected
to a suitable venting system.
4.2 Recommendations
In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the CAN/ULC S609
or ULC/ORD C441 Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for
installation with this stove.
For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL
641 Standard. A pellet vent listed to UL 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.
This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition
of a stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4" in diameter. The liner
should be listed and should meet the ULC S635 or CAN/ULC S640 standard in Canada
and the UL 1777 standard in the USA. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent
manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
