Venting Introduction 
 

This pellet stove operates on a negative draft system, which pulls 

combustion air through the burn pot and pushes the exhaust air to the vent pipe and 
out of the building.  This unit must be installed in accordance with the following 
detailed descriptions of venting techniques; not installing the stove in accordance 
with the details listed here can result in poor stove performance, property damage, 
bodily injury or death.  England’s Stove Works is not responsible for any damage 
incurred due to a poor or unsafe installation. 
 

If questions arise pertaining to the safe installation of the stove, our 

Technical Support line (800-245-6489) is available.  Contact your local code 
official to be certain your installation meets local and national fire codes and if 
you’re uncertain about how to safely install the stove, we recommend contacting a 
local NFI certified installer to perform the installation.  

Venting Guidelines 

•  ALWAYS install vent pipe in strict adherence with the instructions and 

clearances included with your venting system. 

•  DO NOT connect this pellet stove to a chimney flue which also serves 

another appliance. 

•  DO NOT install a flue pipe damper or any other restrictive device in the 

exhaust venting system of this unit. 

•  USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling 

support/fire stop when passing through a ceiling. 

•  ONLY use 3.0” or 4.0” Type L or Type PL pipe approved for pellet stove 

venting; DO NOT use galvanized or B-Vent pipe. 

•  SEAL each joint of pellet vent with high temperature silicone (Part # AC-

RTV3) to prevent smoke spillage into the home. 

•  AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft 

of the venting system and will result in poor stove performance. 

•  INCLUDE as much vertical pipe as possible to prevent smoke from the unit 

from entering your home in the event of a power outage. 

•  INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of fly-ash and 

other restrictions. 

•  CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this 

manual. 

WARNING: Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if 

touched.  Noncombustible shielding or guards may be required.
