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.

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

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
