Installation 

 
Note A: Double wall PL vent requires a minimum of three inch (3”) clearance to combustibles 
and the use of a listed wall thimble, fire stop or roof flashing where applicable.

 

 
ATTENTION: We strongly recommend using a battery backup system if the pellet stove is 
installed using horizontal venting only. This prevents any smoke from entering your home 
in the event of a power failure.

1.  PL vent may be installed directly through a combustible wall, ceiling or roof according to PL 

vent manufacturer’s instructions. (See Figures 2 and 3). 

 
2. The PL vent system must be properly sealed and secured as per PL vent manufacturer’s 
specifications. An airtight seal is necessary in connecting the vent to the stove. Using a PL Vent 
pipe adapter, secure the PL vent with at least three sheet metal screws and high temperature 
silicone adhesive, (RTV), or metal tape at each joint.
