Breckwell TRADITION SERIES P23 P23I - Manual (Page 7)

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)
The longer the run of pipe in your installation (both with insert and
freestanding models), the more restriction there is in the system.
Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used.
• Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of equivalent vent
length.
•
Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
•
Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8 feet.
•
To calculate EVL, use the following conversions:
90º elbow or “T” = 5 equivalent feet
45º elbow = 3 equivalent feet
Horizontal Pipe Run = 1 equivalent foot per actual foot
Vertical Pipe Run = 0.5 equivalent foot per actual foot
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4”
diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS
A. ASSEMBLING PEDESTAL OR LEG SET (Refer to figure 8)
If using a pedestal, follow the instructions inside the Breckwell
P23 Pedestal w/ Ashpan.
If using cast legs, follow the instructions inside the Breckwell P23
Leg Set w/ Ashpan.
Legs are installed by inserting the four bolts provided in the kit
into the four holes in the bottom plate of the stove at each corner
