into lower levels of the house. Vents and chimneys into
basements and lower levels of the house can become the
conduit for air supply, and reverse under these conditions.
Outside Air:
Hearth & Home Technologies recommend attaching
outside air in all installations, especially lower level and
mainoorlocations.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given to
combustion air supply to all combustion appliances. Failure
to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance demands,
mayleadtoback-draftingofthoseandotherappliances.

The outside air connection will supply the demands of the
pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to the
total house demand. House demand may consume some
air needed for the stove, especially during a power failure. It
may be necessary to add additional ventilation to the space in
which the pellet appliance is located. Consult with your local
HVAC professional to determine the ventilation demands for
your house.

VentCongurations:
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-
down conditions, Hearth & Home Technologies strongly
recommends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of
vefeet,preferablyterminatingabovetheroofline.
• Installingtheoutsideairintakeatleastfourfeetbelow
the vent termination.

• Maintain minimum clearance of 12" from the vent
termination to the exterior wall. If you see deposits
