VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR PELLET STOVE BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER/INSTALLER.
Table 1: Use in conjunction with Figure 18 for allowable exterior vent termination locations.

A 24 in (61 cm) Above grass, top of plants, wood, or any other combustible materials.

hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be
installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall,to create some natural draft to prevent the
possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a
nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12" (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the
plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located
in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior
of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of Sherwood Industries Ltd, we grant no
guarantee against such incidents.
NOTE:Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.

this unit in airtight homes and mobile homes.
A Fresh-air intake is strongly recommended for Outside
all installations. Failure to install intake air may result Wall
in improper combustion as well as the unit smoking
during power failures.
When connecting to an outside fresh air source, do not
use plastic or combustible pipe. A 2" minimum (51 2"ID lip Optional
mm) ID (inside diameter) steel, aluminum or copper (51 mm) Elbow
pipe should be used. It is recommended, when you
