Vent Termination Clearances

THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION 

(RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)

Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.  To 

vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to 

the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least 

18” (457mm) above ground level, a straight section of pellet 

vent pipe can be used through the wall. Your heater dealer 

should be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most 

of this installation, which will include a wall thimble that will 

allow the proper clearance through a combustible wall. 

Once outside the structure, a 3” (76mm) clearance should 

be maintained from the outside wall and a clean out tee 

should be placed on the pipe with a 90-degree turn away 

from the house. At this point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section 

of pipe should be added with a horizontal cap, which would 

complete the installation. A support bracket should be placed 

just  below  the  termination  cap  or  one  every  4ft  (1.22m)  to 

make the system more stable. If you live in an area that has 

heavy snowfall, it is recommended that the installation be 

taller  than  3ft  (0.91m)  to  get  above  the  snowdrift  line.  This 

same installation can be used if your heater is below ground 

level  by  simply  adding  the  clean-out  section  and  vertical 

pipe inside until ground level is reached. With this installation 

you have to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead grass, 

and leaves. We recommend a 3ft (0.91m) minimum vertical 

rise on the inside or outside of the house. The “through the wall” installation is the least expensive and simplest 

installation. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in an alcove, under a window, or between two windows. 

We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® kits.
