ALCOVE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The Avent Wood Pellet is approved for the standard alcove height of 56 inches, or for a reduced alcove
height with a minimum of 14 inches from the top of the stove (clearance for opening top lids). The
maximum alcove depth is 36 inches and the listed side clearances are a minimum of 4 inch. The 14”
clearance is only needed for opening the back lid.
The stove is approved for limited horizontal and vertical exhaust. It is required that the exhaust goes
vertically for a minimum of 2 feet above the unit before a 90 degree elbow is installed and after the
venting exits the home it must be terminated above the eave of the house. This will help draw smoke out
of the stove in the event of a power failure.
FREESTANDING STOVE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
(Limited) Horizontal Exhaust Termination:
1) Position stove on the noncombustible floor pad with the proper clearances to combustibles and in
the location that you have determined will work. Place a Pipe Adaptor over the 3” starter pipe
located on the top back of the stove and clamp into place using a 3” hose clamp. Note: It is not
recommended to use silicone on this connection as it will have to be removed for cleaning and
maintenance.
2) It is required that a minimum of 24” of vertical venting is installed before going horizontally.
Horizontal venting cannot exceed 36” in length. Locate proper position for the type “PL” wall
thimble and using a saber saw or key- hole saw to cut a 7 1/4-inch diameter hole through the wall
for the 3-inch Type L Pellet venting. For a 4-inch pipe, cut an 8 1/4-inch hole. Install the
appropriate wall thimble in the hole. Note:The size of hole opening will vary with brand of wall
thimble.
