Vent Termination Clearances
THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION)
Canadian installations must conform to CAN/CSA-B365. To
vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to
the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least
18”(457mm) above ground level, a straight section of pellet
vent pipe can be used through the wall. Your heater dealer
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 clearance through a combustible wall.
Once outside the structure, a 3”(76mm) clearance should
be maintained from the outside wall and a clean out tee
should be placed on the pipe with a 90-degree turn away
from the house. At this point, a 3ft (0.91m) (minimum) section
of pipe should be added with a horizontal cap, which would
complete the installation. A support bracket should be placed
just below the termination cap or one every 4ft (1.22m) to
make the system more stable. If you live in an area that has
heavy snowfall, it is recommended that the installation be
taller than 3ft (0.91m) to get above the snowdrift line. This
same installation can be used if your heater is below ground
level by simply adding the clean-out section and vertical
pipe inside until ground level is reached. With this installation
you have to be aware of the snowdrift line, dead grass,
and leaves. We recommend a 3ft (0.91m) minimum vertical
rise on the inside or outside of the house. The “through the wall” installation is the least expensive and simplest
installation. Never terminate the end vent under a deck, in an alcove, under a window, or between two windows.
We recommend Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® kits.
