Overview
This kit allows an installer to build the above pellet heaters into the framing of a home.
Installation Overview
The minimum framing dimensions and clearances listed in this instruction sheet must be maintained.
Failure to follow all of the instructions in this instruction sheet, and in the manual, will void the listing and
warranty of the pellet heater, and may create a serious fire hazard.
This kit is approved for use in a mobile home.
1 Determine the vent configuration (see “Vent Requirements” and “Vent Termination Requirements”)
2 Prepare the enclosure (see “Minimum Enclosure Dimensions”).
3 Install the floor protection and hearth (see “Minimum Floor Protection”).
If venting to the rear (most common)
Place the 90° onto the insert starter collar and measure the height of the center of the vent. This will
determine the center height of the wall thimble installed behind the insert in the wall. NOTE: The vent is
located 7.5” left of center of the appliance. Install the thimble into the wall, making sure the 3” clearance to
combustibles is met (refer the directions included with the thimble for additional details). Remove the starter
collar from the pellet heater and install it onto the elbow (seal with silicone). Determine the correct length for
the horizontal section of vent (the center of the starter collar is 11.25” behind the enclosure opening) and
attach it to the elbow (seal with silicone). Place this flue section aside until after the zc can is installed. Then
insert the flue section through the can and thimble. Once the insert is in place, attach the starter section to
the insert (it is attached with a latch – make sure the gasket is correctly positioned). Attach the additional vent
components to finalize the vent installation (termination, elbow, etc.).
If venting upwards
When installing with vertical vent, the area above the insert must be accessible after the zc can and insert
have been installed (note: the vent is located 11.25” behind the enclosure opening, 7.5” left of center).
Remove the starter collar from the pellet heater and install it onto the vent (seal with silicone). Insert this vent
through the zc can and attach the starter section to the insert (it is attached with a latch – make sure the
gasket is correctly positioned). Attach the additional vent components to finalize the vent installation
(additional vent lengths, elbows, terminations, etc.).
3 Construct and Install the ZC Can (see “ZC Can Construction and Placement”)
4 Prepare the insert in place it into the ZC Can (see “Insert Preparation and Placement”)
