FLUE SYSTEM 
 
Caution: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing 
through combustible walls and ceilings.  Be sure to check local codes in your area.
 
NOTE:  See the installation drawing later in this manual (Illustration 1). 
 
     This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls combustion air through the burn pot 
and pushes the exhaust air out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to the flue system other than 
the way explained in this manual, it will not function properly. 
      For any of these installations, keep in mind that each elbow used reduces draft by 15%; it is good 
practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow used.  Example:  After the 2
nd
 elbow 
used, have 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.  
 
Pellet Vent Pipe 
The UL approved (ULC if Canada) pellet vent pipe that we recommend is a twist lock system; 
however, it is still recommended that high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3) be used at each joint.  
England’s Stove Works recommends the use of Dura-Vent
 twist-lock pipe (AC-3000 kit, AC-33000 
if Canada) - if you use other pipe, consult your local building codes and/or building inspectors, and 
secure each joint with at least three screws—see Important Information, above.  Do not use “B” vent 
gas pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The pellet pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning 
and should be checked several times during the burning season — pellet vent pipe is not furnished 
with the unit and must be purchased separately.  For installations over 4000 ft. above sea level the 
exhaust should be vented with 4"pellet vent pipe (AC-3100 kit, AC-33100 if Canada).  Do not 
install a flue damper of any kind in this system, and do not connect this unit to a flue system 
serving another heating appliance. 
 
Through the Wall 
    To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the 
exhaust adapter is at least eighteen inches (18”) above ground level, a straight section of pellet pipe 
can be used to initially pass through the wall (see Illustration 1). Your dealer or our factory should 
be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will include a wall 
thimble that will allow the proper clearances through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure, 
a three-inch (3”) clearance should be maintained to the outside wall and a clean out tee should be 
placed on the pipe that extends through the wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3’) of 
vertical pipe with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point, a one-foot (1’) section and 
horizontal cap will complete the installation (see Illustration 1). 
 
     A wall strap should be placed just below the last 90-degree section to make the system more 
stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it is recommended the installation be taller than 
three feet (3’) to get above the snowdrift line. 
 
     The same type installation can be used if your stove is below ground level by adding the clean-out 
section and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached.  However, we recommend basement 
installation be performed only by a professional installer.  For basement installations, a 3” (three 
inch) pipe and coupler must be used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ 
(three feet) must be maintained outside the dwelling from the ground to the Pellet Vent Exhaust Pipe. 
IMPORTANT NOTICE:  This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility 
of a house fire or “smoke-back.”  The instructions must be strictly adhered to.   
Do not use makeshift methods or material which may compromise the installation.  
Your unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (refer to manual).  Failure to 
maintain your unit may lead to a variety of problems, including but not limited to 
smoke spillage into the home.  England’s will not be liable for consequential or 
indirect damages to property or persons resulting from the use of this product.
