Note: Does NOT fit the regular Accentra Insert. That stove uses 1-00-674080.
The pellet venting we sell is Dura-Vent Pellet Vent Pro. Pellet Vent Pro is a twist-lock pellet vent that has an integrated silicon seal within the vent. Simpson Dura-Vent, the pellet venting available in home stores like Home Depot and Lowe's (and we do not sell) is a lower grade pellet venting without the integrated silicon seal. THESE VENTING TYPES ARE MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER BUT THEY CANNOT BE USED TOGETHER AND ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
Guidelines For a Proper Installation:
In addition, the following must be observed:
A. The clearance above grade must be a minimum of 12".
B. The clearance to a window or door that may be opened must be a minimum of 48" to the side, 48" below the window/door, 12" above the window/door. (with outside air installed, 9” to the side and below)
C. A 12" clearance to a permanently closed window is recommended to prevent condensation on the window.
D. The vertical clearance to a ventilated soffit located above the terminal within a horizontal distance of 2 feet (60 cm) from the center-line of the terminal must be a minimum of 18".
E. The clearance to an unventilated soffit must be a minimum of 12".
F. The clearance to an outside corner is 11" from the center of the pipe.
G. The clearance to an inside corner is 12".
H. A vent must not be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) above a gas meter/regulator assembly when measured from the horizontal center-line of the regulator.
I. The clearance to service regulator vent outlet must be a minimum of 6 feet.
J. The clearance to a non-mechanical air supply inlet to the building or the combustion air inlet to any other appliance must be a minimum of 48”.
K. The clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet must be a minimum of 10 feet. (with outside air installed, 6 feet)
L. The clearance above a paved sidewalk or a paved driveway located on public property must be a minimum of 7 feet.
M. The clearance under a veranda, porch, deck or balcony must be a minimum of 12 inches. (B. also)
NOTE: The clearance to vegetation and other exterior combustibles such as mulch is 36” as measured from the center of the outlet or cap. This 36” radius continues to grade.
A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single-family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Only permitted if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath the floor.
In a vertical installation where the vent pipe is visible in the room, if stove has it's appliance take-off located on the left or right side of the stove and you want to have the venting "centered" up the back of the stove, a clean-out tee may be used at a 45° angle off the back of the stove with a 45° elbow on top. The angled clean-out tee will off-set the installation left or right and the elbow will bring the venting back to center.
Off-set venting components such as elbows and clean-out tees have rotating sleeves at the bottom of each component so that venting can be locked together and spun to meet up with the next section of venting.
When adapting Pellet Vent Pro vent pipe into a flexible liner (masonry adapted installation), if you install a clean-out tee horizontally (instead of a 90° elbow), the clean-out cap can be removed to gain access to the liner for sweeping out the liner. This is much easier than taking the vent apart to clean or having to go up on the roof.
Every installation starts with an appliance adapter attached to the stove. From an aesthetic point of view, if you are doing a vertical install behind the stove, the install will look better if the venting can be as close to the stove as possible. Also, sometimes installations are "tight" with clearances and hearth pad restrictions. To help with these issues, Pellet Vent Pro offers venting components with adapters built-in. This keeps the venting close to the stove so the whole install can sit well on the center of the hearth and not have to reside out on the front edge. Component adapters include: 3PVP-X4AD (3" adapter to 4" increaser), 3PVP-TADX4 (3" clean-out tee with 3" adapter), 3PVP-T3AD (4" clean-out tee with 3" adapter)
When installing a wall thimble (3PVP-WT or 4PVP-WT), it's a good idea to have a length of vent pipe through the thimble before you fasten the thimble to the walls.
