(Rated for continuous use flue temperaftures up to 570°F.)

Materials and Construction

Laser-welded, double-wall pipe with a .012″ inner wall of 444 stainless steel and a .018″ laser-welded galvalume outer wall. Painted black exterior available. Primary metal-to-metal connection seals joint. Encapsulated o-ring provides a secondary seal.

Clearances

1″ clearance to combustibles in the USA and Canada for appliances using corn and other biofuels, wood pellets or oil.

Diameters

3″ and 4″

Listings

c-UL-us Listed to UL 641 (MH8381 and MH14420).
ULC Listed to ULC S609, ULC/ORD C441 (CMH1439 and CMH1440).

Refer to our Typical Venting Installation drawings to select the appropriate component parts for your installation.

• The inner pipe diameter should match the outlet size of the appliance. For installations that require 4″ vent and the appliance has a 3″ outlet, use an Increaser Adapter 3″-4″.
  
• Check the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions to confirm which types of vent configurations are permitted (i.e. horizontal, vertical, chimney reline, etc.). Also, check for any venting restrictions such as maximum horizontal run, minimum and maximum vertical rise, maximum offset, etc.
  
• Be fire safe! Maintain the minimum clearances (air-space) between the vent pipe and nearby combustibles, as specified in the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions. Use proper support and bracing. Follow local building codes and have your venting system inspected.

Planning Your Installation:

1. Refer to the Typical PelletVent Pro Installations diagram, on the opposite page, to be familiar with some of the standard PelletVent Pro installations and the required component parts.
   
2. For a horizontal termination, you will need a Wall Thimble and a Horizontal Cap. The cap must be installed with a 6″ clearance to the outside wall (refer to appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions for other clearances).
   
3. For a vertical termination, you will need a Cathedral Ceiling Support Box or Flat Ceiling Support, Attic Insulation Shield (if passing through an attic), Flashing, Storm Collar, and Vertical Cap.
   
4. Determine the length of PelletVent Pro pipe required. For a vertical termination, measure the pitch of the roof and select the proper flashing. The required minimum height above the roof is 12″.
   
5. Pellet stove inserts in masonry fireplaces will require a flex pipe to snake the vent past the smoke shelf. For transition from PelletVent Pro to an existing DuraPlus, DuraPlus HTC, or DuraTech Chimney, a Chimney Adapter is available.
   
6. For vertical rise of PelletVent Pro on the outside of the house, Wall Straps should be used at 4′ intervals to provide proper support.
   
7. Important! Check to be sure that the appliance and the venting system are in compliance with all minimum clearance to combustible requirements.

The following design recommendations are a general guideline to assist in the design and selection of venting components for your installation. Always follow DuraVent Installation instructions before installing your chimney system (found with the cap or support box).

• Size the vent to meet the appliance manufacturer’s specifications.
  
• Avoid long runs and excessive use of elbows. Refer to the appliance manufacturer for minimum rise and maximum run configurations for the venting system.
  
• Use an Appliance Adapter to ensure a proper connection to appliance. Seal adapter to appliance with high temperature sealant.
  
• Use a Single Tee with Clean-Out Tee Cap to facilitate easy cleaning. It is recommended to use a tee off the back of an appliance.
  
• In the United States and Canada, maintain the minimum 1″ clearance (air space) from vent pipe to combustibles. Use proper support and bracing. Follow local building codes and have your venting system inspected. Be fire safe!

1. What is the minimum clearance to combustibles?
1” clearance to combustibles.

2. Is the PelletVent Pro® approved as a Category III UL1738 for use on horizontally terminating Unit Heaters and Radiant Tube Heaters?
Yes, PelletVent Pro is gasketed with laser welded super-ferritic stainless steel inners and approved sidewall Termination Caps.

3. What is the minimum termination height above the roof?
1’ minimum of pipe is required above the high side of the roof.

4. Why is there so much slope at the collar of the stove?
The problem is with the stove manufacturer, not the vent.

5. What flashing do I use for roof pitches over 7/12?
Use the gas vent flashing for a steep roof (order #s: 3GVFSR, 4GVFSR)

6. What flashing do I use for a tile roof?
DSA Roof Flashing (Stock #s: 3PVP-F6DS, 3PVP-F12DS, 4PVP-F6DS, 4PVP-F12DS)

7. Why don’t I have tee supports?
DuraVent® wall straps are approved to support the tee.

8. How close to the wall can I terminate?
6” minimum distance from the wall to pipe.

9. Can I seal the pipe where it passes through the thimble?
Yes. Use a 500° RTV Silicone Sealant.

10. Which side of the thimble goes on the interior wall?
The black side goes on the interior wall.

11. Are the 45° and 90° elbows adjustable?
No. The elbows are factory sealed to prevent leaking under pressure.

12. What do I use to install through cathedral ceilings?
Use a cathedral ceiling support box.

13. How do I extend the wall thimble?
Use similar material to extend the sleeves. Must maintain a 1” overlap.

14. Why is the 2’ 10 rule for Chimneys not followed?
PelletVent Pro® terminates 1’ above the high side of opening in roof because the fan gets the exhaust airborne.

15. Can I use B vent instead?
No. Use PelletVent® Pro only it has the required SS inners to burn wood pellets.

16. Is there a high wind PelletVent Pro® cap?
No. Use the vertical cap termination.

17. Do I need sealant or tape on connections?
Sealant is required with old-style PVL. If using PVP (PelletVent Pro) with silicone O-rings, the use of sealant is not required.
