VENTING
Thechoicesyoumakewhendetermininghowyourventpipeisconfiguredisveryimportantandwill
haveanimpactontheperformanceofyourunit.Inordertogetthebestperformancefromyour
stovewehighlyencourageyoutofollowallinstallationdirectionsinthismanual.Itwillsaveyoua
greatdealoftimeandtroubleifyouproperlyventyourunit.

TheJacksoniscertifiedforusewithlistedTYPEL‐Vent,3”or4”diameterinsize.Thestovewas
testedwithSimpsonDuraventbrand.Class“A”chimneyisnotrequired.Refertotheinstructions
providedbytheventmanufacturer,especiallywhenpassingthroughawall,ceilingorroof.

THISISAPRESSURIZEDEXHAUSTSYSTEM.ALLVENTCONNECTORJOINTSMUSTBE

DONOTINSTALLAFLUEDAMPERINTHEEXHAUSTVENTINGSYSTEMOFTHISUNIT.
INSTALLVENTATCLEARANCESSPECIFIEDBYTHEVENTMANUFACTURER.


EquivalentVentLength(EVL)
Priortopurchasingyourpelletventpipe(typeL)youshouldplanyourventingscenariointo
determinethediameterofventpipeyoushoulduse.Pelletventpipecomesin3"and4"diameter.

Inordertodetermineifyoucanuse3"diameterpipe,youneedtocalculateyourEVL(Equivalent
VentLength).ToproperlycalculateyourEVLyoushouldmakeasimplesketchofyourplanned
installation.ThenusethefiguresbelowtodetermineyourEVL:
90degreeelbowsorcleanoutteescountas5'ofpipe
45degreeelbowscountas3'ofpipe
Piperunninghorizontallycountsas1'ofpipefor1'ofpipe
Piperunningverticallycountsas1/2'ofpipefor1'ofpipe

UsetheabovefigurestocalculatewhatyourplannedEVLwillbe.IfyourEVLislessthan15'youcan
use3"diameterpipe.IfyourEVLis15'ormoreyoushoulduse4"diameterpipe.Ifyouneedtouse
4"pipeyoushouldhavea3"to4"transitionrightoffthebackoftheunitandthenuse4"diameter
pipethroughouttheentireexhaustsystem.

Ifabove3,000'inelevation,youshoulduseonly4"diameterpipe.Inaddition,ifinstalling
theunitinacornerandgoingoutasidewall,wehighlyrecommendthatyouuse4"pipe
regardlessofyourEVLorelevation.





HorizontalPipe
Youshoulddoeverythingpossibletoreducetheamountofhorizontalpipeyouhaveinyourexhaust
configuration.Themorehorizontalpipethatyouhavetheharderyourcombustionblowerwillhave
towork.Youwillalsoneedtocleanyourexhaustpipemorefrequently,andinsomecasesyourunit
willfunctionverypoorlyifatall.

Itisbesttoalwayshaveverticalpipefollowinghorizontalpipe.Thiswillhelptooffsettherestriction
createdwiththehorizontalpipe.Ideallyanyhorizontalpipeinyourventingconfigurationwillbe
rightoffthebackoftheunit.Thiswouldthenbefollowedbyseveralfeetofverticalpipe.We
recommend7'ormoreofverticalpipeforallinstallations.


Youshouldneverhavemorethan5’ofhorizontalpipeonanyinstallation.Havingmore
than5’ofhorizontalpipewillpotentiallycauseseriousperformanceandefficiency
deficits.

MultipleElbows
Acommonmistakemadebypeopleistousetoomanyelbowsintheexhaustsystem.Younever
wanttohavemorethantwoelbowsinanexhaustifitcanbeavoided.Dependinguponyourexact
exhaustconfigurationyoumaybeabletousethreeelbows.Youshouldalwaysavoidusingfouror
moreelbows.

Youalsowanttoavoidhavingelbowstooclosetogether.Ideallyanyelbowsintheexhaust
configurationwillbeseparatedby3'ormoreofstraightpipe.Iftheelbowscannotbespacedatleast
3'apartyoushoulduse4"diameterpipetohelpreducesomeoftherestrictioncreatedbyhaving
elbowsspacedsoclosely.Theincreasedpipediameterwillnoteliminatealloftherestrictionthough,
andyoushouldexpectyourunittoburnlessefficientlythannormalifyoudothis.

YoushouldALWAYSavoidhavingtwo90degreeelbowsrightnexttoeachother.Having
two90degreeelbowsrightnexttoeachotherwillcreatean"S"curvethatcreatesa
tremendousamountofrestrictioninyourexhaustsystemresultinginextremelypoor
stoveperformance.

VentTerminations
Yourventingendcaporterminationmustconformtothefollowingregulationsandmustbeloacated
insuchamannerastoconformto:
A. Notlessthan3feetaboveanyforcedairinletlocatedwithin10feet.
B. Notlessthan4feetbeloworhorizontallyfrom,oronefootabove,anydoor,window
orgravityairinletintoanybuilding
C. Notlessthantwofeetfromanadjacentbuilding
D. Notlessthan7feetabovegradewhenlocatedadjacenttoapublicwalkway
E. Mobilehomeinstallationsmustuseasparkarrester.



INSTALLATION
Installationofyourpelletstoveisextremelyimportant.Installationoftheunitwillnotonlyhavean
effectuponthesafetyofyourstove,butalsoontheperformanceandefficiencyofthestove,and
alsoontheamountofmaintenanceyoumustperform.Forallofthesereasonsyouwanttomake
surethatyourstoveisproperlyinstalled.
Wheninstallingyourpelletstovethereareseveralthingsthatyoushouldkeepinmindandconsider
beforeyouactuallybegintheinstallation.Takingcaretoinstallyourpelletstovecorrectlywillensure
thatyou,yourfamily,andyourhomearesafe,andthatyourunitperformsatpeakefficiency.
Keepthefollowingthingsinmindwhenyouplanyourinstallation:
1. Itisalwaysbesttohaveaminimumof5'ofverticalpipe,andweactually
recommend7'ormore.
2. Checkwithlocalbuildingorfireofficialsforanyadditionalinstallationorpermitting
requirements.
3. Useonlyqualitymaterialsfromknownmanufacturersanddistributors.
4. Itisbesttohavetheunitventedonthelowpressuresideofthehouse.Thisistheside
oppositeofprevailingwinds.
5. Flexpipeisonlyapprovedforuseinsideofamasonryfireplace.
6. Eliminateasmuchhorizontalpipeandelbowsaspossible.
7. Usethesamesizepipediameterforyourentireexhaustsystem.
8. DoNOTplugthestoveintoaGFCIsocketorcircuit.
9. Alwaysuseaqualitysurgeprotector.

Preparation
Factorypackagingmustberemoved,andsomeminorassemblyworkisrequiredpriortoinstallation.
Accesstotherearofthestoveisnecessary.

Planyourinstallationpriortoactuallyinstallingtheunit.Itisagoodideatomakeasketchofyour
proposedinstallation.CalculatetheEVL(EquivalentVentLength)priortopurchasingyourventpipe
toensurethatyouhavethecorrectdiameter(seeVENTINGformoredetails).

Makesurethatyourplannedinstallationwillallowproperclearancetobemaintainedon
allsidesofthestoveandtheexhaustflue.
