Sherwood EF-3 BAYI User Manual

 

 

1.  NOTE: Use only listed type “PL” or “L” pellet venting products.  Failure to use listed components may cause 

damage or personal injury or death. 

2.  Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows installation with 

the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc. 

4.   Place the stove 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall.  If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set the unit on it.  

5.  Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove.  Extend that line to the wall.  Once you have located the 

center point on the wall, use a hole saw to cut a 7” (175 mm) diameter hole for a 3” (76 mm) vent pipe or an 
8” (200 mm) hole for a 4” (101 mm) vent pipe.  

6.  Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble.  Maintain an effective vapor barrier 

7.  Install a 2 or 3’ (61 or 92 cm) length of 3” (76 mm) or 4” (101 mm) listed type “PL”  or “L” vent pipe into the 

wall thimble.  The pipe should install easily into the thimble. 

8.  Install the fresh air intake (see the section entitled OUTSIDE FRESH AIR CONNECTIONS). 

9.  Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove.   

10.  All Joints in the vent system shall be fastened with (3) three screws.  Seal the connection with high 

temperature silicone 

11.  Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 1” (3 cm) clearance from the back of the stove to the wall.  

Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone. 

12.  The pipe must extend at least 12’ (30 cm) away from the building.  If necessary, bring another length of pipe 

(PL type) to the outside of the home to connect to the first section.  Do not forget to place high temperature 
silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble. 

13.  Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination.  The stainless 

steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended.  However, when the vent 
terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within several feet, a 45 degree 
elbow can be used as termination.  The elbow must be turned down to prevent rain from entering. 

 

NOTE:  Some horizontal, through the wall 
installations may require a “T” and 4-5 feet of 
vertical pipe outside the building to help draft 
the stove.  This may be required if a proper 
burn cannot be maintained, after the stove 
has been tested and the airflow set.  This is 
due to back-pressure in the exhaust, caused 
by the air flow around the house.
