Do not terminate vent

 in any enclosed or semi-enclosed 

area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a 
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area, 
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes 
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.

CAUTION

B.  Chimney and Exhaust Connection

1.

Chimney & Connector

:  Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)  

diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system.  It can be vented 
vertically or horizontally.

2.

 Mobile Home: 

Approved for all Listed pellet vent.  If using 

the 3 inch (76mm) vertical top vent adapter kit or the 3 
to 6 inch (76-152mm)  top vent offset adapter, use Listed 
double wall fl ue connector.  A Quadra-Fire outside air kit 
must be used with manufactured home installations.

3.

 Residential: 

 The 3 inch (76mm) vertical top vent adapter 

kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) top vent offset adapter 
are tested to use 24 gauge single wall fl ue connector or 
Listed double wall fl ue connector to Class A Listed metal 
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting national and/or 
local codes for solid fuel appliances.

4.

  INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE 

VENT MANUFACTURER.

5.  Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at least 

3 screws.  Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least 
3 screws through each joint.

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

7.  DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE 

SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible.  Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F 
[260°C] minimum rated only).  Do not put silicone inside 
of pipe.

NOTE:  If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use approved 
venting specifi cally designed for corn.  Follow the instruc-

used.

•  NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may 
impair safe operation.

WARNING

C.  Venting Termination Requirements

1

. 

Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.  It is 

recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of verti-
cal pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly 
through a wall.  This will create a natural draft, which 
will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting 
into the home during a power outage.  It will also keep 
exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing 
people or shrubs to high temperatures.  The safest and 
preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically 
through the roof.

2

. 

Distance from

doors and opening windows, or gravity or 

ventilation air inlets into building:

a.  Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
b.  Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
c.  Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.

3.  Distance from permanently closed windows:

a.  Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally 

from or above.

4

. 

Distance between

bottom of termination and grade 

should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.  This is con-
ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade 
surface.  The grade surface must be a non-combustible 
material (i.e., rock, dirt).  The grade surface must not be 
lawn.  Distance between bottom of termination and public 
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.

5

. 

Distance to combustible

materials must be 24 inches 

(610mm) minimum.  This includes adjacent buildings, 
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, 
plants and shrubs, etc.

6.  Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)

•  Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum 

clearance to vinyl inside corners.

•  Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service 

shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffi ts.

•  Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service 

will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.

•  Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or 

interfere with access to the electrical service.

Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if 
touched.  Noncombustible shielding or guards 
may be required.

WARNING

NOTE

: The appliance exhaust outlet is designed to ac-

commodate 3 inch venting. Use of 4 inch venting requires 
the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust vent increaser in addition 
to any other  venting components needed, sold sepa-
rately.
