Vent installation: install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed spaces,
or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment and with all local regulations, including those referring to regional and national. Only use
venting of L or PL type with an inside diameter of 3 or 4 inches (7.6 or 10.1 cm).
1. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set
the unit on it.
2. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have located
the center point on the wall, refer to pellet vent manufacturer installation instructions for correct hole
size and clearance to combustibles.
3. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble. Maintain an effective vapour
barrier in accordance with local building codes.
4. Install a length of vent pipe into the wall thimble. Try not to have joints inside the thimble. The pipe
should install easily into the thimble.
5. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal the connection with high
temperature silicone.
6. Install the fresh air intake (see

.
7. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 3” (76 mm) clearance from the back of the stove
to the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone.
8. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another
length of pipe to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place high
temperature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.
