The  minimum vent configuration is a 90

o

 or Tee on 

a starter collar and a 24” length horizontal through an 

exterior wall.  A cap on the end should direct the flue 

gasses down and away from the structure. See Fig. 5. 

The  maximum  horizontal  length  is  18  feet.  The  

minimum termination height above the exterior grade 

is 18”. The maximum total length of any configuration 

is 30 feet*. 

* ( see venting graph on page 10 for exceptions )

NOTE: Cleanout Tee’s should always be used on the 

transitions to horizontal pipe to allow easy access for 

cleaning.

The venting graph allows for one(1) 90 deg. or Tee 

fitting in any configuration.

If more 90’s, T’s, or 45’s are needed, the total length 

must be adjusted to allow for the added restriction.

Up to four (4) additional 90’s, Tee’s, or equivalent 45’s 

can be  added as long as the overall length is adjusted 

in accordance with the values listed below.

( See the venting graph on page 10.)

Each Vertical ---- 90 deg. or T subtract 2.5 feet

Each Vertical ---- 45 deg.        subtract 1.5 feet

Each Horizontal - 90 deg. or T subtract 5.0 feet

Each Horizontal - 45 deg.        subtract 2.5 feet

Any exterior venting (vent pipe exposed to outside 

ambient temperatures) should be kept to a minimum, 

due to potential condensation problems.

This is especially important in high humidity cold 

weather climates, such as maritime areas, lake shores, 

and low river valleys.

Venting

Venting

Use 4” pellet vent pipe only. 

A combustion blower is used to extract the combustion 

gases from the firebox. This creates a negative pressure in 

the firebox and a positive pressure in the venting system 

as shown in Fig. 4. The longer the vent pipe and more 

elbows used in the system, the greater the flow resistance. 

Because of these facts we recommend using as few elbows 

as possible and 30 feet or less of vent pipe. The maximum 

horizontal run should not exceed 18 feet. 

Be sure to use wall and ceiling  pass through fittings 

(which are approved for pellet vent pipe ) when going 

through combustible materials. 

Be sure to use a starting 

collar  to  attach  the  venting  system  to  the  stove. 

The 

starting collar must be sealed to the stove flue collar  

with high temp silicone caulking or aluminum tape, 

and screwed into the stove flue collar at least three 

(3) places.

Vent Pipe

4”  pellet  vent  pipe  (also  known  as  “PL”  vent)  is 

constructed  of  two  layers  with  air  space  between  the 

layers. This air space acts as an insulator and reduces the 

outside surface temperature to allow a minimum clearance 

to combustibles as low as 1 inch. In Canada the minimum 

clearance to combustibles is 3 inches. 

The sections of pipe lock together to form an air tight 

seal in most cases; however, in some cases a perfect seal 

is not achieved. For this reason and the fact that the boiler 

operates with a positive vent pressure, 

we specify that  

all joints within the structure should also be sealed 

with silicone.

NOTE:Use  only  4”  diameter  approved  PELLET 

venting system. Be sure to inspect and clean exhaust 

venting system frequently.

4” Type “L” or 

“PL” Vent pipe

This is the minimum venting configuration.
