When venting the stove through the ceiling, the pipe is
connected the same as through the wall, except the clean out tee is always
on the inside of the house, and a 3" adapter is added before the clean-out
tee. You must use the proper ceiling support flanges and roof flashing
supplied by the pipe manufacturer -- follow the pipe manufacturer's
directions and Illustration 1in this manual. It is important to note that if
your vertical runs of pipe are more than fifteen feet (15') at this point,
the pellet vent pipe should be increased to four inches (4") in diameter. Do
not exceed four feet (4') of pipe on a horizontal run, and do attempt to use
the least number of elbows in the flue system. If an offset is used it is
better to install a 45-degree elbow whenever possible .
|
NOTE: |
Installing elbows may inhibit your draft by up to 15% per elbow. |

Outside Combustion Air
Outside air is mandatory for this unit to operate properly.
This unit has been designed and
tested with this connection, because so many homes are airtight and there is
not adequate combustion air available inside the dwelling. The air intake
pipe is located on the bottom side of the burn pot (from the rear) and
measures 11/2"
in diameter. The connection can be made with a metal 17/8"
coupler and pipe (see "Important Information" section of manual), and should
exit through the wall or floor. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with
a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end of the pipe should be covered
(screened) to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the unit
is located below ground level, you will need to run the pipe up and then
outside the dwelling.
|
|
NOTE: |
If the total run of the connection exceeds 6', or if more than 2
elbows are used, use 3" metal pipe (and coupler) instead. |
|
NOTE: |
If an older unit, measure the opening to determine what size pipe to use or couple to. |

Typical ceiling installation
|
NOTE:
|
England's Stove Works strongly recommends
installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when installing ANY type
of stove. |
|
High Altitude Installation
If the unit is being installed at an altitude of 4000 ft above sea level or
higher, the following amendments to the chosen installation should be made
-
The pellet vent pipe size should be increased to 4"
(Part
# AC-3100 Vent Kit) if choosing a "through the wall installation. if
connecting to an existing chimney use 4" pellet vent pipe.
- The outside air intake should be increased to 3".
