Section 3: Flue System/Direct Vent/Power Vent
WARNING: DO NOT connect this stove to a flue system serving another heating appliance. Also, stoker stoves
must always be installed with a BAROMETRIC DAMPER. A damper is available from your dealer.
A: REQUIRED FLUE SIZE
The proper flue size is determined by the inside diameter of the flue collar on the unit. This stove is equipped with
a six (6) inch flue collar. This stove would require a six (6) inch pipe; smaller diameter pipe should never be used.
The area of the chimney liner should be greater than the area of the flue collar on the stove, but never more than
three times greater. Example: The area of a six (6) inch flue collar is 28.27 square inches; therefore, the area of the
flue liner should not be more than 84.2 square inches.
CAUTION: The connector pipe should be a 24-gauge steel pipe and must be eighteen (18) inches away from a
combustible wall or ceiling. If you are using double wall or shielded pipe the clearance can be reduced to six (6)
inches. Please follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for passing through combustible walls and ceilings.
Check your local codes prior to installation.
CAUTION: Attachment and securement of the chimney connector with a minimum of three (3) screws to the
product and to each adjoining section
B: DIRECT VENT
(For stoves equipped with Direct Vent option only)
NOTE: Barometric Damper is included in the Direct Vent unit.
NOTE: There are horizontal and vertical locations for counter weight placement. Counter weight should be
positioned at proper location for horizontal and vertical installation.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION -
This appliance is equipped with a mechanical venting system to exhaust the combustion products outside. An
exhaust blower (vent motor), draft control (barometric damper), and a safety switch (fume switch) which work
together to allow safe operation of the appliance instead of a conventional chimney. Continued safe operation
requires proper installation and maintenance according to these instructions.
CAUTION: Do not operate your stove until an approved venting system to the outside has been installed and
inspected.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION -
Direct Vent: The Direct Vent motor plugs into an outlet.
Fume Switch: The fume switch connects to the plug on the PEL-TROL. In the event that draft is lost, the fume
switch will trip. This will interrupt fuel supply to the stove. The fume switch is to be manually reset after the
cause of the trip has been determined and repaired.
