solid fuel or gas appliance. It must be vented directly
to the outside of the building using a proper
termination as listed in this manual. After
determining the venting configuration for your stove,
select the vent system that will best accommodate
your installation.

WARNING:
IN
HIGH
WIND
AREAS
AND
PARTICULARLY COLD CLIMATES IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO HEAT YOUR VENT SYSTEM
WITH THE PILOT PRIOR TO IGNITION OF THE
MAIN BURNER. IN THESE INSTANCES IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU LEAVE THE PILOT
RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO IGNITING
THE MAIN BURNER. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
PROPER START UP AND IGNITION OF ALL
PORTS ON THE BURNER.
There are three types of venting configurations
approved for use with this appliance:
Vertical Venting/Vertical Termination
Vertical Venting/Horizontal Termination
Horizontal Venting/ Snorkel Termination
Pipe Clearances to combustibles:
1" to vertical runs
1" below and to the side of horizontal runs
2" from the top of horizontal runs
Vertical Venting and Termination
The Stowe 8324 is approved for venting vertically
through a roof or ceiling. When installing a vertical
vent and/or vertical terminations you must adhere to
the following requirements:
When terminating vertically you must have at
least 10’ of vertical pipe.
Always maintain a minimum of 1” clearance from
all sides of the vent system to any combustible
material (2” from top).
A listed fire stop is required at any floor
penetration. The opening must be framed in
according
to
the
venting
manufac
turer’s
instructions.
Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly
strong windy conditions can promote poor draft
or down draft conditions. In this event, an
increase to the height of the vent may improve
performance.
A maximum of two 90
⁰
or four 45
⁰
elbows may
be used in vertical terminations. (This includes
the one 45
⁰
elbow off the stove outlet)
Whenever possible use 45
⁰
elbows instead of
90
⁰
elbows as they offer less restriction to the
flue gases.
Vertical terminations may require additional
restriction in order to perform as intended.
Please refer to Figures 29 & 30 to adjust your
vent restrictor accordingly
