A. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks,
you must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, so󰀩ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add su󰀩cient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 193 lbs.
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,
re o󰀩cials or authorities having jurisdiction over
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, tra󰀩c ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
to minimize the use of chimney o󰀨sets.
• 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 a󰀨ect the
location of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the a󰀨ects of wind loading.

F. Floor Protection
1. Zero Clearance Installations*
It is necessary to install a oor protection of
non-combustible material with a R value of 3.0 (1 inch
[25mm] minimum thickness with a “k” value of 0.58) or a 1
inch (25mm) air space between insert base and hearth.
2. Non-Zero Clearance Installations*
A non-combustible oor protector is required with a
minimum R value of 3.0 (1 inch [25mm] minimum thickness
with a “k” value of 0.58) extending 6 inches (153mm) in
front of the insert and 8 inches (203mm) to each side of the
door opening.
*See Thermal Resistance: R value.
NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means
approved by the regulatory authority
having jurisdiction
0 to 5 inches from bottom of unit,
thermal protection required. R value of
3.0.
5 inches or more from bottom of unit,
ember protection only required
NOTE: Hearth Rug may be used in
Suggested Area
Figure 11.1
Thermal Resistance: R value
The R value is a measurement of a material’s resistance to
heat transfer.
R value is convenient when more than one material is used
since you can add the R values together, whereas you can
not do this for k value.
The HIGHER the R factor means less heat is being
conducted through the non-combustible material to the
combustible material beneath it.
The R value of a material must be equal or larger then the
required R value to be acceptable.
Fire Risk.
• Comply with all minimum clearances to
combustibles as specied.
• Failure to comply may cause house re.

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.
• The safest and preferred venting method is to extend
the vent vertically through the roof or above the roof.
NOTICE: Do NOT Terminate Vent:
• In any location that will allow  ue gases or soot from
entering 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.

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
conditions, 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
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
When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent
conguration the frequency of power outages should
be considered:
• Power outages during operation will cause the
appliance to immediately turn o󰀨 and may create
conditions where smoke will back draft into the house.
In order to reduce the likelihood of smoke back drafting
into the house during a power outage, Hearth and
Home Technologies strongly suggests:
- Installing the pellet venting with a minimum vertical
run of 5 feet (1.52m).
- 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 specied clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated so󰀩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 (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 APPLIANCE
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.

C. Negative Pressure
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
chimney system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
NOTE: Follow venting manufacturers recommendations
for sealing pipe joints.
NOTE: The appliance exhaust outlet is designed to
accommodate 3 inch venting. Use of 4 inch venting
requires the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust vent increaser
in addition to any other venting components needed, sold
separately.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED VENTING
COMPONENTS; OTHERWISE MAKESHIFT PARTS
MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR DEATH.
WARNING
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent.
A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit must be used with
manufactured home installations.
3. Install vent at clearances specied by the vent
manufacturer.
4. Seal exhaust venting system to the unit with High Temp
500ºF RTV silicone sealant. Secure the venting system
to the unit with at least (3) screws. All pellet vent pipe
must be secured together either by means provided by
the pipe manufacturer or by (3) screws at each joint.
5. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS Appliance.
6. DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
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
appliances 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 e󰀨ects 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
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure di󰀨erence needed to vent an appliance
successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion
fumes and soot.
