Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) 
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the more 
restriction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter 
pipe should be used. 
 
Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of equivalent 
vent length. 
 
Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10’ of EVL. 
 
Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8’. 
 
To calculate EVL, use the following conversions: 
90º elbow or “T”  
= 5 equivalent feet 
45º elbow 
 
= 3 equivalent feet 
Horizontal Pipe Run 
= 1 equivalent foot per actual 
foot 
Vertical Pipe Run 
= 0.5 equivalent foot per actual 
foot 
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4” 
diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more. 
BIG E INSTALLATION 
A. 
HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL (refer to Figure 5) 
 
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 
 
1. 
Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figure 1. 
 
2. 
Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove 
exhaust vent (refer to figure 3). 
 
3. 
Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials. 
 
4. 
Install L-Vent wall thimble per L-Vent manufacturer’s 
instructions. 
 
5. 
Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6” 
beyond exterior walls. An 8-foot vertical pipe run is 
suggested where possible to reduce the possibility of 
smoke spillage in the event of a loss of negative pressure. 
 
6. 
Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-
hardening waterproof mastic. 
 
7. 
Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust 
gases can ignite trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard 
to children. Exhaust gases can reach temperatures of 
500ºF and cause serious burns if touched. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Locate terminations: a) not less then 3 feet above any 
forced air inlet located within 10 feet; b) not less than 4 feet 
below or horizontally from, or one foot above, any door, 
window or gravity air inlet into any building; c) not less than 
two feet from an adjacent building and not less than 7 feet 
above grade when located adjacent to a public walkway. 
Mobile home installations must use a spark arrester.
