G. Negative Pressure
F. Draft
Draftisthepressuredifferenceneededtoventappliances
successfully.Whenanapplianceisdraftingsuccessfully,all
combustionbyproducts areexitingthehome throughthe
chimney.
Considerationsforsuccessfuldraftinclude:
• Preventingnegativepressure
• Locationofapplianceandchimney
Tomeasurethedraftornegativepressureonyourappliance
use a magnahelic or a digital pressure gauge capable of
reading0-1inchesofwatercolumn(W.C.).
The appliance should be running on high for at least 15
minutesforthetest.
Withthestoverunningonhighyoushouldhaveanegative
pressureequaltoorgreaterthanthenumbergiveninthe
chartbelow.Ifyouhavealowerreadingthanyoundonthe
chart,yourappliancedoesnothaveadequatedrafttoburn
thefuelproperly.
Minimum Vacuum Requirements: .35 - .55

CAUTION
!
Negativepressureresultsfromtheimbalanceofairavailable
fortheappliancetooperateproperly.Itcanbestrongestin
lowerlevelsofthehouse.
Causesinclude:
• Exhaustfans(kitchen,bath,etc.)
• Rangehoods
• Combustionairrequirementsforfurnaces,waterheaters
andothercombustionappliances
• Clothesdryers
• Locationofreturn-airventstofurnaceorairconditioning
• ImbalancesoftheHVACairhandlingsystem
• Upperlevelairleakssuchas:
 -Recessedlighting
 -Attichatch
 -Ductleaks
Tominimizetheeffectsofnegativeairpressure:
• Installtheoutsideairkitwiththeintakefacingprevailing
windsduringtheheatingseason
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliancesandexhaustequipment
• Ensurefurnaceandairconditioningreturnventsarenot
locatedintheimmediatevicinityoftheappliance
• Avoidinstallingtheapplianceneardoors,walkwaysor
smallisolatedspaces
• Recessedlightingshouldbea“sealedcan”design
• Attichatchesweatherstrippedorsealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seamstapedorsealed
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibilityfortheimproperperformanceofthechimney
systemcausedby:
• Inadequatedraftduetoenvironmentalconditions
• Downdrafts
• Tightsealingconstructionofthestructure
• Mechanicalexhaustingdevices
Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause

H. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-down, and Power Failure:
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet burning appliance during power failure or shut-
down conditions, the stove must be able to draft naturally
withoutexhaustbloweroperation.Negativepressureinthe
housewillresistthisnaturaldraftifnotaccountedforinthe
pelletapplianceinstallation.
Heatrisesinthehouseandleaksoutatupperlevels.This
airmustbereplacedwithcoldairfromoutdoors,whichows
into lower levels of the house. Vents and chimneys into
basementsandlowerlevelsofthehousecanbecomethe
conduitforairsupply,andreverseundertheseconditions.
Outside Air
Anoutsideairkit is recommendedin allinstallations.The
OutsideAirKitmustbeorderedseparately.
Pernationalbuildingcodes,considerationmustbegivento
combustionairsupplytoallcombustionappliances.Failure
tosupplyadequatecombustionairforallappliancedemands
mayleadtobackdraftingofthoseandotherappliances.
Whentheapplianceisroofvented(stronglyrecommended): 
Theairintakeisbestlocatedontheexteriorwalloriented
towardstheprevailingwinddirectionduringtheheating
season.
Whentheapplianceisside-wallvented:
Theairintakeisbestlocatedonthesameexteriorwall
astheexhaustventoutletandlocatedloweronthewall
thantheexhaustventoutlet.
Theoutsideairsupplykitcansupplymostofthedemands
ofthepelletappliance,butconsiderationmustbegivento
thetotalhousedemand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the
appliance.Itmaybenecessarytoaddadditionalventilation
tothespaceinwhichthepelletapplianceislocated.
ConsultwithyourlocalHVACprofessionaltodeterminethe
ventilationdemandsforyourhouse.
Vent Congurations:
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-
down conditions, Hearth & Home Technologies strongly
recommends:
• Installingthepelletventwithaminimumverticalrunof
vefeet,preferablyterminatingabovetheroofline.
• Installingtheoutsideairintakeatleastfourfeetbelow
theventtermination.
Topreventsootdamagetoexteriorwallsofthehouseand
topreventre-entryofsootorashintothehouse:
• Maintainspeciedclearancestowindows,doors,and
airinlets,includingairconditioners.
• Ventsshouldnotbeplacedbelowventilatedsofts.Run
theventabovetheroof.
• Avoidventingintoalcovelocations.
• Ventsshouldnotterminateunderoverhangs,decksor
ontocoveredporches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches from the
ventterminationtotheexteriorwall.Ifyouseedeposits
developingonthewall,you may need to extend this
distancetoaccommodateyourinstallationconditions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility
for, nor does the warranty extend to, smoke damage
caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under
shut-down or power failure conditions.
Vent Pipe
Besuretouseapprovedpelletventpipewallandceilingpass-throughttingstogothroughcombustiblewallsandceilings.
Besuretouseastartingcollartoattachtheventingsystemtothestove.Thestartingcollarmustbesecuredtotheuestub
withatleastthreescrews,andsealedwithhightempsiliconecaulking.
4"stainlesssteelexventpipingisonlyallowedforuseinmasonryreplacesandchimneysorfactorybuiltwoodburning
replaceswithclassAmetalchimneys.
Pelletventingpipe(alsoknownasTypeLvent)isconstructedoftwolayerswithairspacebetweenthelayers.Thisairspace
actsasaninsulatorandreducestheoutsidesurfacetemperaturetoallowaclearancetocombustiblesofonly1inch.The
sectionsofpipelocktogethertoformanairtightsealinmostcases;however,insomecasesaperfectsealisnotachieved.
ForthisreasonandthefactthattheP-Seriesoperateswithapositiveventpressure,wespecifythatthejointsalsobesealed
withsilicone.
Wherepassingthroughanexteriorwallorroof,besuretousetheappropriatepass-throughdeviceprovidinganadequate
vaporbarrier.Ventingmanufacturersgenerallyprovidethesepass-throughdevices.
