PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION Ð
PELLET STOVE (cont.)
5. Vertical Pipe Adapter:
The vertical pipe adapter is an optional item used to center the pellet vent on the pellet stove. It allows for a more
compact installation then using offsets on the pellet vent. To install the vertical pipe adapter, follow the directions
below.
1. Take the vertical pipe adapter, along with the 5 screws, out of the box and inspect for any damage.
2. When determining the final position of the stove, take into consideration the location of the vertical pipe
adapter once it is installed. It is best to install the vertical pipe adapter before determining the location of
the stove, making the final alignment with the pellet vent more accurate.
3. The vertical pipe adapter allows for the use of 3" pellet vent or 6" singlewall or doublewall stovepipe. Use
the appropriate collar for the vent type used.
4. Insert the vertical pipe adapter onto the pellet stove and align it so the length of the adapter is vertical. On
the the vertical pipe adapter where it connects to the exhaust pipe there are three holes. One is on the
outward side, one is on the top, and one is located on the bottom. Make a mark on the exhaust tube
where these holes line up. Make sure the pipe adapter is all the way against the exhaust pipe and
properly aligned when making these marks. Take the vertical pipe adapter off and drill a 9/64" hole where
the three marks where placed on the exhaust pipe.
5. Apply a high-temperature silicone sealant (type 500 degree RTV) around the outside perimeter of the
exhaust pipe near the end and slide the vertical pipe adapter into place. Attach the vertical pipe adapter
to the exhaust pipe by sliding it into place and screwing in the three sheet-metal screws through the
vertical pipe adapter and into the holes that were drilled in step 4. Inspect the connection between the
exhaust pipe and vertical pipe adater for an airtight seal. Apply more high-temperature silicone sealant if
necessary.
6. The vertical pipe adapter has a sheet metal bracket used to secure the vertical pipe adapter to the stove.
It attaches to the back of the stove in two locations. Drill the 9/64" holes in the back of the stove. Drill
only enough to penetrate the first layer of metal. Screw in the remaining two sheet-metal screws with a
phillips-head screwdriver.
7. The vertical pipe adapter can now be attached to the vent. Make sure to seal the connection between the
vertical pipe adapter and vent with a high-temperature silicone sealant (type 500 degree RTV).
