Castile Pellet Stove
Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
A. 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.
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 flue 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 (76-152mm) Top Vent
Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall
flue connector or listed double wall flue connector to
Class A listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys
meeting ICBO standards for solid fuel appliances.
4 . INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5 . Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with
at least 3 screws through each joint.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only).
NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use
approved venting specifically designed for corn. Follow
the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
Fire Hazard.
• Only LISTED venting components may be
used.
• NO OTHER vent components may be used.
Substitute or damaged vent components may
impair safe operation.
WARNING
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1 . Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
recommended that at least 60 inches (1524mm) of verti-
cal 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.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1219mm) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows:
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below, horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade should
be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon
plants in the area, and nature of grade surface. The grade
surface must be a noncombustible material (i.e., rock, dirt).
The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance between
bottom of termination and public walkway should be 84
inches (2134mm) minimum.
5 Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl sof-
fits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
