6 INSTALLATION COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 7). All connections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil

INSTALLATION 7 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) The longer the run of pipe in your installation (both with insert and freestanding), 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 feet of EVL. • Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8 feet. • To calculate EVL, use the following conversions: 90º elbow or “T” = 5 equ

8 INSTALLATION A. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9) NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º elbow and a clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove. OPTION: Install L-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling. Install ceiling support and L-Vent pipe per L-Vent

INSTALLATION 9 C. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural condition. 2. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches. 3. Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, a

10 INSTALLATION INSERT INSTALLATIONS Insert installations must be vented with 3” or 4” pipe. Pipe may be single wall stainless steel flexible pipe. Vent may terminate within chimney beyond a blanking plate or extend to the chimney top. See “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY” for outside air access information. The fireplace and chimney should be cleaned thoroughly before starting the installation. We suggest painting the interior of particularly old and dirty fireplaces to seal any odors. I

INSTALLATION 11 B. WHEN VENT PIPE EXTENDS TO CHIMNEY TOP (Refer to Figure 15) 1. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height (from hearth) plus 6 inches. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe length (see “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”) equal to the chimney height plus 12 inches. 2. Attach cerablanket wrap to that end of vent pipe that will connect to the stove. Use 12-inch lengths of light gauge metal wire (not included) or metallic t

12 INSTALLATION D. AS A BUILT-IN FIREPLACE Figures 16 and 17 describe a P2000 installation vented into either a special chase built outside an outer wall or a false inside wall. This is especially suited for new construction or remodeling. The equipment compartment (sides and rear of the stove in fireplace) must be enclosed per the applicable electrical standards. NOTE: Floor protection for Built-in raised hearths requires a continuous sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of e

OPERATION 15 PROPER FUEL THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of the pellet fuel into the
