1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
22 Getting Started
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation.
Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or
substitute components.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, sof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 sufcient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 208 lbs.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
of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 affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, trafc ow
• 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
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the affects of wind loading.

608/227021-801F
B. Thermostat Wall Control Location
The thermostat wall control’s location will have some affect
on the appliance’s operation.
• Maximum wire length from appliance is 100 feet (30.48m)
with continuous non-spliced wire. Recommended 20
gauge wire, solid copper .
• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the
house comfortable.
• When located in an adjacent room or on a different
oor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the

CAUTION
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive
based vinyl ooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style
ooring (LVP - luxury vinyl plank or LVT – luxury vinyl tile) can be
used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a room with
ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult ooring specications to
ensure compatibility.
When using LVP/LVT ooring, HHT Recommends pellet stove
and inserts have 29 inches of alternative ooring in front of the
stove or insert before using LVP/LVT (luxury vinyl plank/tile
ooring). Whether the stove or insert sits ush on the oor or is
elevated on a raised hearth, 29 inches of alternative ooring is
required in front of the stove or insert.
For all other ooring, continue to follow clearance to combustible
requirements in the installation manual.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines
could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl ooring and is
done at the installer’s risk.
Fire Risk
Comply with all minimum clearances to

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 fl 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 off 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 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 (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.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
CAUTION

C. Negative Pressure
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.
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 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
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference 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
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 horizontally.
NOTE: Follow venting manufacturers recommendations
for sealing pipe joints.
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
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion
fumes and soot.
WARNING
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If
using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit
or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter,
use Listed double wall ue connector. A Quadra-Fire
Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home
installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent
Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76 to 152mm) Top Vent
Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall ue
connector or Listed double wall ue connector to Class
A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting
International Residential Code standards for solid fuel
appliances.
4. Install vent at clearances specied by the vent
manufacturer.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS Appliance.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY

Example 1: If the equivalent length of pipe is 23 feet (7m)
with altitude of 8,000 feet (2438m) you must use 4 inch
(102mm) diameter type “L” or “PL” vent.
Example 2: If the equivalent length of pipe is 12 feet (3.7m)
with altitude of 6,000 feet (1829m) you may use 3 or 4 inch
(76 to 102mm) diameter type “L” or “PL” vent.
G. Pipe Selection Chart
The chart will help you in determining proper venting size
according to the equivalent feet of pipe calculated previously
and the altitude above sea level of this installation (Figure
16.2).
1. Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on the
vertical left side of the chart.
2. Move to the right horizontally on the chart until you reach
your altitude above sea level.
3. If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76 to
102mm) pipe may be used.
4. If it is anywhere above the diagonal line, a 4 inch
(102mm) diameter pipe is required.
