3) NOTE: Make sure that you leave enough clearance between the wall and the back of the unit so

that you will be able to install the outside air and work on the intake fan.

4) NOTE: In cold climates running the venting on the outside of the home without an insulated chase

way will cause condensing, creosote buildup, staining of siding and poor operation of the unit. It is
strongly recommended that all venting is run on the interior of the home and if that is not possible,
install venting in an insulated chase way.

5) INSTALL VENTING AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENTING

MANUFACTURER. American Energy Systems does not assume responsibility for the venting
design or installation of the product. Diagrams are shown as a reference and a guide for clearances.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Conventional & Mobile Home
NOTE: The following are general instructions for installing this appliance. The vent pipe
manufacturer’s instructions should be followed for the brand of venting being used.

• Before drilling or cutting holes, select the proper location of the appliance.

• Determine location of combustibles, ceiling rafters, wall studs or floor joists before cutting holes.

• Be careful not to drill or cut into any water or electrical lines as damage or injury may result.
• Once the proper location and clearances are determined place the appliance on a non-combustible

floor protector and line up the plumb bob with the hole in the ceiling or wall.

• Cut the holes as required by the venting manufacture for proper clearance and location.

• Outside make up combustion air is required. The duct may pass through the wall or floor to obtain

fresh air from outdoors or from a vented crawl space.

• Follow venting manufacturer’s requirements for sealing all joints with high temp silicone.

• Secure venting to the flue collar on the stove with screws or the pipe adaptor.

• It is recommended that the horizontal installation of the Type PL venting downslope ¼” toward

the stove in a 12” run with a maximum length of 36”.
