stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp RTV. Use 4-inch vent if the vent height is over 12-feet or if the installation is over 2,500

feet above sea level. We recommend the use of Simpson Dura-Vent® or Metal-Fab® pipe (if you use other pipe, consult

your local building codes and/or building inspectors). Do not use Type-B Gas Vent pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit.

one of these areas can also lead to unpredictable pressure situations with the appliance, and could result in improper

performance and/or malfunction. The termination must exhaust above the outside air inlet elevation. The termination

must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other materials. Do not terminate the venting into an

wall thimble that will allow the proper clearance through a

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
