Pellet/Corn Stove
Venting System
Installation Guide
UL 641 Listed
Important Installation and Operation Notes
oInspect each component for damage before installing;
rectify damage product claims through your retailer.
oConsult local building codes or fire officials about
restrictions and necessary inspections in your area.
oThe AirJet Pellet/Corn Stove Venting System is
designed and approved for the venting of listed pellet
stoves and gas and oil furnaces that do not exceed
570° F at the outlet.
oThis system is intended to form a continuous passage
from the appliance to above the roof line, including
the chimney cap.
oTo comply with UL Listings and the AirJet warranty,
use only the chimney parts defined by these instruc-
tions.
oUse the AirJet chimney cap on all installations to pre-
vent back drafts and to keep out rain and other debris.
oThis system provides for a continuous conduit of flue
gases through a double-walled construction with
stainless steel lining and galvanized exterior. You can
further enhance the life of system by coating all exte-
rior metal with high-temperature, rust-proof paint.
oMaintain a 3-inch minimum clearance to combustibles
when passing through walls, ceilings, or roofs. Always
use a Firestop when penetrating a wall or ceiling.
oCombustible material includes all material surfaced in
wood, paper, plant fibers, plastics and related material.
Such material is considered combustible even if it is
classified as flame proof or fire retardant, or has been
plastered.
oFor vertical installations, the maximum height is 60
feet; use a support at 30 feet.
oAn increaser may be used at any point in the system to
meet the requirements of the appliance manufacturer.
oIn considering the path of the venting system, care-
fully evaluate the support structures of your home or
building to avoid or minimize passing through these
structures.
oIf fly ash leakage occurs, seal the associated casing
joints with a silicone-based sealer rated at 400° F or
higher.

Using the AirJet “Snap-Lock” System
Our unique system makes assembly and disassembly a
snap!
Assembly
1. With male ends up, align the
seams.
2. Push the pieces straight together
until they “click.”
Note: No twisting is needed. It may
be helpful to place one piece on
the floor and snap the other on top.
Disassembly
1. Pull up on top piece to
fully engage the locks.
2. Twist the top piece coun-
ter-clockwise and pull up.

Rear Stove Exhaust—Indirect Exterior Venting
1. Complete steps 1–6 of the adjacent (Direct Vent)
procedure.
2. Install the horizontal chimney sections, allowing the
last section to extend far enough to reach the Tee in
the following step.
3. Install the Tee (or cleanout tee) allowing a minimum
of 3 inches between the vertical pipe and the exterior
of the building.
4. Attach a Wall Band/Tee Support just above the Tee.
5. Install the vertical chimney sections , securing it with
additional Wall Brackets every 6 feet.
6. If the chimney must pass through an overhang, (if not,
skip to step X) cut a hole in the overhang according to
the pipe diameter you are using:
Pipe Diameter Required Opening
3”9.5”X 9.5”
4”10.5”X 10.5”
6. Slide the flashing over the pipe and secure to roof.
Apply mastic tape where the chimney passes through
the flashing. Apply a thick ring of mastic around the
chimney. Slide the storm collar down into the mastic
ring and secure (see Illustration 4).
7. Install any additional chimney sections terminating at
the Chimney Cap. See Illustrations 4 and 5.

Warning
When installing the chimney from the rear
outlet, maintain at least 3 inches between
the chimney and any combustible surface.
1. Attach the stove adaptor to the stove flue outlet and
secure with sheet metal screws.
2. To prevent fly ash leakage occurs, seal the joints with a
silicone-based sealer rated at 400° F or higher.
3. To facilitate cleaning and inspection, install a Tee to
make the transition to vertical.
4. On the ceiling, mark the vertical centerline of the
chimney. (A plumb bob is typically used here.)
5. In the ceiling, cut a 14.5-inch square hole.
Note: It is highly recommended that you frame the hole
any time you pass through the ceiling. Use the same
size joists as those already present.
6. On the ceiling side, install a Firestop Spacer. (If the
attic is directly above, install the spacer from the attic
side.)
7. On the floor side, install the Base Assembly, snapping
the tabs into the groove of the pipe section.
8. Continue installation into the attic and through the
firestop. Attach a Support Band over the pipe with
the flange of the Band resting on the Firestop plate.
Tighten the Band around the chimney using the bolts
and nuts provided.
9. If you use elbows to avoid obstructions, use a chimney
strap to support the offset portion of pipe.
10. Where the chimney must pass through the roof, cut a
hole according to the pipe diameter you are using:
Pipe Diameter Required Opening
3”9.5”X 9.5”
4”10.5”X 10.5”
11.Slide the flashing over the pipe and secure to roof.
Apply mastic tape where the chimney passes through
the flashing. Apply a thick ring of mastic around the
chimney. Slide the storm collar down into the mastic
ring and secure (see Illustration 4).
12.Install any additional chimney sections terminating at
the Chimney Cap. See Illustrations 4 and 5.
