•  Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and 

national codes and regulations.

•  Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire 

officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, 
installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using 
exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, 
before actually beginning the installation

Consideration must be given to:

•  Safety, convenience, traffic flow

•  Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.  

•  If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-

ance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-
built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.  

•  Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the loca-

tion of the vent termination.

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you 
must consider the location of:

• Windows

• Air 

Intakes

• Air 

Conditioner

•  Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls 

• Landscaping, 

vegetation

When locating vent and venting termination, vent above 
roof line when possible.
