INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this fine product from England’s Stove
Works!
England’s Stove Works was started, and is still owned by, a family that
believes strongly in a “Do It Yourself” spirit; that’s one reason you
found this product at your favorite “Do It Yourself” store.
We intentionally design and build our stoves so that any homeowner can
maintain their unit with basic tools, and we’re always more than happy
to show you how to do the job as easily and as inexpensively as possible.
However, while remaining simple, our stoves are designed to perform
extremely efficiently, helping deliver more heat from less fuel.
Please look at our vast Help section on our website and call our
Technical Support Department at [phone] if you need any help
with your unit. We are nearly always able to “walk you through” any
installation issues, repairs, problems or other questions that you may
have.
Wishing you years of efficient, quality and “comfy” heating,
EVERYONE AT ENGLAND’S STOVE WORKS
Please Note: While information obtained from our web site and through
our Technical Support line is always free of charge, there will be a
service charge incurred with any “on-site” repairs or maintenance that
we may arrange.
This manual encompasses all versions of the freestanding model 25-EP, including the
55-SHPEP, 55-SHPEPL and 55-TRPEP. It also encompasses the fireplace insert
models 25-EPI, 55-SHPEPI and 55-TRPEPI. However, for simplicity of description,
the stove will be referred to by the generic “25-EP” designation, unless otherwise
s
p
ecified.

Installation Overview
When choosing a location for your new stove, there are a multitude of
factors that should be taken into account before beginning the installation.
1. Traffic Patterns – To help prevent accidents, the stove should be placed
in a location where it is out of the way of normal travel through the
home.
2. Heat Flow – When deciding on a location for the stove, consider the way
heat moves throughout your home. Install the stove where you need the
heat; basement installations often do not allow sufficient heat to flow to
the upper floors and a top floor installation will not allow any heat to
reach the floors below. Always consider that heat rises and will take the
path of least resistance while it is still hot.
3. Exhaust Location – Outside walls are generally the best place to install a
stove, since they allow easy exhaust and intake air installation (using our
DuraVent AC-3000 Kit). If there is not a feasible way to install the stove
on an outside wall, there are methods for venting the stove up through the
roof, but they tend to be more costly because they involve the use of
more pellet vent pipe and can often make outside air installation more
difficult.
4. Wall Construction – Locating the stove so that the exhaust system can
pass between studs will simplify the installation and eliminate the need to
reframe any sections of the wall to accommodate the wall thimble.
WARNING
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do Not Overfire – If any external part starts to glow, you are overfiring.
Reduce feed rate. Overfiring will void your warranty.
Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified.
Failure to comply may result in a house fire.
Tested and approved for wood pellets only. Burning any other fuel will
void your warranty.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Venting Introduction
This pellet stove operates on a negative draft system, which pulls
combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air to the vent pipe and
out of the building. This unit must be installed in accordance with the following
detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance
with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage,
bodily injury or death. England’s Stove Works is not responsible for any damage
incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation.
If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our
Technical Support line (800-245-6489) is available. Contact your local code
official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes and if
you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we recommend contacting a
local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.
Venting Guidelines
ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence with the instructions and
clearances included with your venting system.
DO NOT connect this pellet stove to a chimney flue which also serves
another appliance.
DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the
exhaust venting system of this unit.
USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling
support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling.
ONLY use 3.0” or 4.0” Type L or Type PL pipe approved for pellet stove
venting; DO NOT use galvanized or B-Vent pipe.
SEAL each joint of pellet vent with high temperature silicone (Part # AC-
RTV3) to prevent smoke spillage into the home.
AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft
of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance.
INCLUDE as much vertical pipe as possible to prevent smoke from the unit
from entering your home in the event of a power outage.
INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of fly-ash and
other restrictions.
CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this
manual.
WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if
touched. Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
Additional Venting Information
Do not mix and match components from different pipe manufacturers when
assembling your venting system (i.e. Do NOT use venting pipe from one
manufacturer and a thimble from another).
We require a minimum vertical rise of 36 in. (3 ft.) of pipe to create natural
draft in the system, which helps evacuate smoke from the stove in the event
of a power failure or combustion blower failure.
Venting systems 15.0 ft. or shorter may be composed entirely of 3.0 in.
pellet pipe; to reduce frictional losses, venting systems longer than 15.0 ft.
should be composed of 4.0 in. pellet pipe.
Do not terminate the venting system directly beneath any combustible
structure such as a porch or deck.
Follow NFPA 211 rules listed below for venting system termination location
relative to windows and other openings in the dwelling.
oNFPA 211 (2003 ed.) Section 10.4 Termination: 10.4.5
(1) The exit terminal of a mechanical draft system other than direct
vent appliances (sealed combustion system appliances) shall be
located in accordance with the following:
(a) Not less than 3 ft. (.91 m) above any forced air inlet located
within 10 ft. (3.0m).
(b) Not less than 4 ft. (1.2 m) below, 4 ft. (1.2 m) horizontally
from or 1 ft. (305 mm) above any door, window or gravity air
inlet into any building.
(c) Not less than 2 ft. (0.61 m) from an adjacent building and
not less than 7 ft. (2.1 m) above grade when located adjacent to
public walkways.
Distance between the termination opening and grade should be a minimum
of 24 in. contingent on the grade surface below the termination. When
determining the termination height above grade, consider snow drift lines
and combustibles such as grass or leaf accumulation. In areas where
significant snowfall is possible, the termination height must be sufficiently
high to keep the termination free of snow accumulation.
