A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Itis a good ideato planyour installationon paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance
and chimney will affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffic flow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to
minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage
for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (vertical)
or through exterior wall (horizontal).
• Installing the required outside air kit will affect the location
of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal loca-
tion is to vent above roof line when possible. This minimizes
the affects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting floor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your floor will suport these weights prior to instal-
lation. Add sufficient additional support to meet this weight
requirment prior to installation.
WARNING
Risk of Fire
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do
NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.
CAUTION
If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved vent-
ing specifically designed for corn to prevent corrosion
or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.

NOTICE:
Do NOT Terminate Vent:
• In any location that will allow flue gases or soot from en-
tering or staining the building
• In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard
• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport,
garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch,
narrow walkway
• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered
breezeway, etc.
NOTICE:
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
• It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.52m) of vertical
pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly through a
wall. This will create a natural draft, which will help prevent
the possibility of smoke or odor venting into the home during
a power outage.
• It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard
by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
• Thesafestand preferred ventingmethodisto extend thevent
vertically through the roof or above the roof.

HEATILATOR ECO-CHOICE
B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down con-
ditions, it 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 flows
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 seperately.
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 backdrafting 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 appli-
ance. 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 Configurations
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down
conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recom-
mends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of
5 feet (1.52m). Preferably terminating above the roof
line.
• Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m) 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 specified clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits.
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 (305mm)
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.
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TOANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT
OR SYSTEM.

6/16//2014 7058-205A 13
HEATILATOR ECO-CHOICE
C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able 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
• Ensureadequateoutdoorairforallcombustionappliances
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
Minimum Vacuum Requirements per Unit
MODEL Minimum Vacuum
Requirements
ECO-ADV-PS35 .065 inches W.C.
ECO-ADV-PS50 .075 inches W.C.
ECO-CAB50 .075 inches W.C.
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent an appli-
ance successfully. When an appliance is drafting suc-
cessfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home
through the chimney.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the build-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the fire.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
WARNING
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes
and soot.
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm) diameter
type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be vented vertically or

Substitute or damaged vent components may impair
safe operation.
WARNING
The maximum horizontal venting allowed with no vertical vent-
ing attached is 48 inches (1219mm) including one 90° elbow
or two 45° elbows. This is our recommended horizontal vent-
ing installation. Addition of any horizontal venting beyond 48
inches (1219mm) requires a minimum 60 inches (1524mm) of
additional vertical vent. Horizontal sections of vent pipe should
have a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) rise per foot.
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends any installation
requiring more than two 90° elbows, or more than 15 feet (4.5m)
of venting to use 4 inch (102mm) vent.
NOTICE: These are guidelines for successful venting of your pellet appliance. The more vertical rise you can obtain in
your system, the better it will perform. Horizontal vent runs can accumulate ash and will need to be cleaned more often.
Try to keep them as short as possible.

HEATILATOR ECO-CHOICE
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
strongly recommended that at least 60 inches (1.5m)
of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented
directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft,
which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor
venting into the home during a power outage. It will also
keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by
exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. The
safestand preferred venting methodis toextend thevent
vertically through the roof.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows;
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below; horizontally
from or above.
4. Distancebetweenbottomofterminationandgradeshould
be12inches(305mm)minimum. Thisis conditional upon
plantsinthearea,andnatureofgradesurface. Thegrade
surface must be a non-combustible material (i.e., rock,
dirt). The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance
betweenbottomofterminationandpublicwalkwayshould
be 7 feet (2.13m) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearanceof a terminationcap belowelectricalservice
shallbethesameasminimumclearanceto vinyl soffits.
• Clearanceof a termination cap aboveelectrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
