Vent Information

A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection

B. Venting Termination Requirements

1

.

Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It

is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.5m) 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 (1.2m) below;

b. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) 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 con-

ditional upon plants in the area, and nature of grade

surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible

material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not

be lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and

public walkway should be 84 inches (2.1m) 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 soffits.

• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service

will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.

• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or

interfere with access to the electrical service.

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 International

Conference of Building Officials (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.

6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone inside
of pipe.

NOTE: If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved

venting specifically designed for corn. Follow the instruc-
tions from the venting manufacturer.

Fire Hazard.
• Only LISTED venting components may be

used.
