DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY OTHER EXISTING VENTING SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
CAUTION
THE VENTING SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY AIRTIGHT AND PROPERLY INSTALLED.
ALL VENT CONNECTOR JOINTS MUST BE SEALED AND FASTENED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PELLET VENT MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE AND AVOID SMOKE AND ASH SPILLAGE..
CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
CAUTION
DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK.
CAUTION
THE VENTING SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED, AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR FOR ANY BUILDUP OF SOOT OR CREOSOTE.
4.1 GENERAL
Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a natural draft which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs. Moreover, a suitable venting system configuration will help getting  the best efficiency out of your stove when installed in accordance with the  equired EVL.
4.2 RECOMMANDATIONS
In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the CAN/ULC S609 or ULC/ORD C441 Standard.
A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for installation with this stove.
For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL 641 Standard. A pellet vent listed to UL 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.
This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition of a stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4″ in diameter. The liner should be listed and should meet the ULC S635 CAN/ULC S640 standard in Canada and the UL 1777 standard in the USA. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
4.3 EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH (EVL)
4.3.1 RECOMMENDED EXHAUST VENTING DIAMETER
The recommended venting system inner pipe diameter is 3″. Use a 4″ pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL).
To calculate the Equivalent Vent Length of your installation, use the following conversions:

Qty Type of pipe Equivalent vent length (EVL)
1 90° elbow or ‘‘Tee’’ 5 feet
1 45° elbow 3 feet
1 foot horizontal pipe run 1 foot
1 foot vertical pipe run 1/2 foot

Here is an example to help you calculate Equivalent Vent Length. On the following figure the EVL can be calculated like this:DROLET ECO-55 EPA
Pellet Stove - parts6

2 feet of horizontal run (2 X 1′ EVL) = 2′ of EVL
90° elbow or “Tee” (1 X 5′ EVL) =5′ of EVL
12 feet of vertical run (12′ X 0.5′ EVL) = 6’ of EVL
Termination cap = 0′ of EVL
Total EVL = 13′ of EVL

Since the total EVL is less than 15 feet, the recommended
exhaust venting diameter is 3″.
4.3.2 INSTALLATION COMPLIANCE
To determine if your installation is compliant, the exhaust venting system must end within the grid on the venting system chart. The previous installation has 2 feet of horizontal run and 12 feet of vertical run. It is thus standard since the venting system ends in the gridded area.
CAUTION

  • Horizontal runs shall not exceed 9 feet.
  • Never exceed 30 feet of evl.

DROLET ECO-55 EPA Pellet Stove - parts7 CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE FOOT OF VERTICAL RISE FOR EACH FOOT OF HORIZONTAL RUN. IN ALL CASES, AT LEAST 3 FEET OF VERTICAL RISE IS NEEDED.
WARNING
TERMINATION OF A SIDE WALL VENT SHOULD BE LOCATED TO AVOID PERSONAL BURN INJURY, FIRE HAZARD AND INTERFERENCE WITH OR DAMAGE TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES. EXHAUST GASES CAN REACH TEMPERATURESOF 500°F (260°C) AND CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
WARNING
TERMINATION COLLAR (SPARK ARRESTER) IS MANDATORY AND MUST BE CLEAR OF ANY DEBRIS AT ALL TIME.
4.4 TERMINATION LOCATION
CANADA
Refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CSA B365 (Canada) for rules for the distance of exit terminal from windows and openings. The exit terminal of a mechanical draft system, other than a direct vent appliance shall be located in accordance with the following.DROLET ECO-55 EPA Pellet Stove -
