The following pages detail the six different installations available for the Avalon 900 PS pellet
stove. The drawings used for each type of installation detail most, but not all, of the
requirements necessary for a safe installation. The section "Stove Requirements" details the rest
of the installation requirements. The six types of installations available are listed below along
with considerations important to the installation:
Installation Type Installation Considerations
Horizontal Corner 3" Clearance to Pellet Vent
Horizontal 3" Clearance to Pellet Vent
Interior Vertical "Tee" or Elbow Determines Rear Clearance
Exterior Vertical Penetrates Wall Directly Behind Stove
Vertical Using Existing Factory Built Chimney Uses Existing Type "A" Chimney
Hearth Stove Uses Existing Masonry or Z.C. Chimney
Prior to installing your stove make a detailed plan with dimensions to double-check them against
the requirements. When ready to install, first follow the instructions in the section "Preparation
for Installation" below. Then follow the order of installation detailed in the type of installation
being used.
Preparation for Installation
¥ Check for damage to the exterior of the stove (dents should be reported, scratches
can be fixed by applying touch up paint).
¥ Check the interior of the firebox. Make sure the firebrick refractory is not cracked
and that the firepot holder and ash trap doors are in place.
¥ Any optional equipment being used for this pellet stove should be installed (see
the section "Optional Equipment"). The stove must use legs or a pedestal. If
using a center flue adapter, we suggest installing it at this point (these components
affect the location where the pellet vent connects to the heater).
HINT: We suggest starting the heater outside and burning it for two hours to
cure the paint before it is placed in the home.
