INSTALLATION / INSERT UNIT / VENTING
1. The LR-01 is designed for both new installations and as an insert into existing fireplaces. The
LR-01 is NOT designed to be installed without proper vent pipe. Proper venting can be
achieved by installing a 3” (less than ten feet) or 4” (more than ten feet) TYPE PL double wall
vent pipe or listed TYPE “L” chimney liner. A listed single wall stainless steel liner may be
used if installing the LR-01 into an approved wood burning chimney. The vent pipe may be run
to the top of the existing chimney or to a point 18” above the damper of the existing chimney.
Flue pipe manufacturer’s instructions should be consulted for further detailed pipe installation
instructions. Most flue pipe manufacturers will provide detailed drawings of venting plans,
which meet or exceed code requirements. NOTE: Follow all vent manufacturers vent pipe
instructions without deviation. Check local codes to ensure conformance.
2. WARNING: DO NOT operate any pellet stove unless connected to proper flue system. Do
not connect the LR-01 to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
3. Flue pipe joints need to be joined tightly to ensure air tight venting with at least (3) sheet metal
screws and sealed with RTV silicone or approved aluminum flue pipe tape.
4. FIGURE 8 shows a sample of a Country Flame recommended method of flue pipe installation.
The vent pipe is extended just above the top of the existing chimney (consult local ordinances
for code requirements.) The flue pipe must be fitted with a proper pellet flue cap. A storm
collar and flashing should be installed to seal off the chimney opening.
