1INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT PELLET HEATING
Pellet stoves offer a dramatic improvement in the convenience of heating with solid fuel. Wood
pellets are handled in bags and are therefore easily and cleanly stored. A single loading of a pellet
stove can provide long hours of warmth. Pellet stoves also provide a special comfort associated with
wood burning. The combination of fans delivering warm air currents and the direct comfort of
radiant heat provides special satisfaction on a cold winter day. The heat provided is even and
constant, due to the auto fuel feed responding to owner settings. Pellet stoves also offer strong
environmental benefits; pellets not only reduce dependence on finite supplies of fossil fuels like oil
and gas, but they also put to good use materials that would otherwise unnecessarily and expensively
add to our waste disposal problems.
In addition, pellet stoves burn very cleanly and offer the lowest emissions of unwanted pollutants
of all solid fuel burning appliances.
1.1.1 TOP 10 REASONS FOR BUYING A PELLET STOVE
•Fuel is relatively cheap, easy to handle and store
•Installation is relatively inexpensive and flexible
•Can be thermostatically controlled
•Can run for long hours without the need to refuel
•Heat output is steady because fuel feed is regulated
•Provides powerful convection heat
•Has the lowest emissions of all solid fuels
•Reduces our dependence on fossil fuels
•Pellets are a renewable fuel
•Wood pellets are made of 100% residual matter (saw dust). This creates added-value from
waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

4VENTING SYSTEM
4.1 GENERAL
Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a natural draft
which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs. Moreover, a suitable
venting system configuration will help getting the best efficiency out of your stove when installed in
accordance with the required EVL (see Section 4.3 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)).
Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a
suitable venting system.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the ULC S-609-M89/ORD
C441-M90 Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for installation with this stove.
For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL-641
Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.
This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition of a
stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4” in diameter. The liner should be listed
and should meet the ULC S-635/640 standard in Canada and the UL-1777 standard in the USA. Refer
to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall,
ceiling or roof.
4.3 EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH (EVL)
Recommended venting system inner pipe diameter is 3”. Use a 4” pipe if you have more than 15
feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)
To calculate the EVL of your installation, use the following conversions:
Qty
Type of pipe
EVL equivalent(ft)
1
90° elbow or “T”
5
1
45° elbow
3
1 ft
Horizontal pipe run
1
1 ft
Vertical pipe run
0.5
NOTE: Horizontal runs shall not exceed 9 feet.
NOTE: Never exceed 30 feet of EVL.
NOTE: If the stove is located at an altitude of 3,000 feet or more, it is recommended to use a 4''
venting system inner diameter if the ELV is 7 feet or more.

5000 Pellet Stove Installation and Operation Manual
______________________________________________________________________________15
Here is an example to help you calculate Equivalent Vent Length. On the following figure the EVL
can be calculated like this:
•2 horizontal run of 1’ = (2 X 1’) X 1’ = 2’ of EVL
•1 elbow 90° or "Tee" = 5’ of EVL
•3 vertical length of 4’ = (3 X 4’) X 0.5’ = 6’ of EVL
•Total EVL = (2’ + 5’ + 6’) = 13’.
EVL is less than 15’ therefore it is correct to use a 3’’ pipe.
NOTE: Do not include the exterior wall termination in the EVL calculation. (45° elbow and
termination)
4.4 TERMINATION LOCATION
Termination should not be located so that
hot exhaust gases can be a hazard. They can
reach temperatures of 500 ºF and cause
serious burns.
CAUTION: TERMINATION COLLAR (SPARK
ARRESTER) IS MANDATORY.

5000 Pellet Stove Installation and Operation Manual
16______________________________________________________________________________
4.4.1 PERMITTED TERMINATION LOCATION
Refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CSA B365 (Canada) for rules for the distance of exit terminal from
windows and openings. The exit terminal of a mechanical draft system, other than a direct vent
appliance shall be located in accordance with the following.

round or square hole in roof. Install upper
edge and sides of flashing under roofing
materials. Nail it to the roof along upper
edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail
heads with flexible waterproof sealant.
6. Apply high temperature waterproof
silicone sealant where the storm collar
meets the vent. Slide storm collar down
until it sits on the flashing.
7. Seal and install vertical roof vent. If
required, seal and install a storm collar.
