Through-the-Wall Installation
England's Stove Works recommends
professional installation of our hearth products.
| NOTE: |
England's Stove Works strongly recommends installation of smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors when installing ANY type of stove.
|
|
The through-the-wall installation is the least expensive and simplest
installation. In a through-the-wall installation you should be mindful of the snowdrift
line, as well as dead grass and leaves. We recommend a three foot (3') minimum vertical
rise on the inside or the outside of the dwelling. Never terminate the end vent under a
deck, in an alcove, under a window or between two windows. Call (800) 516-3636 to
inquire about the
AC-33000 Through-the-Wall Kit.

To vent the unit through the wall,
connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the exhaust adapter is at least
eighteen inches (18") above ground level, a straight section of pellet pipe can be
used to initially pass through the wall (see Ill. 1 in manual). Your dealer or our
factory should be able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation,
which will include a wall thimble that will allow the proper clearances through a combustible
wall. Once outside the structure, a three-inch (3") clearance should be maintained to
the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on the pipe that extends through the
wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3') of vertical pipe with a 90-degree turn away
from the house. At this point, a one-foot (1') section and horizontal cap will complete the
installation (see Illustration 1 in manual). A wall strap should be placed just below the
last 90-degree section to make the system more stable. If you live in an area that has heavy
snowfall, it is recommended the installation be taller than three feet (3') to get above the
snowdrift line.

Outside Air Kit (PU-OAK)
|
|
Outside Air (Outside Combustion Air Intake)
Outside air is mandatory for this unit to operate properly. This unit
has been designed and tested with this connection, because so many homes are airtight
and there is not adequate combustion air available inside the dwelling. The air intake
pipe is located on the bottom side of the burn pot (from the rear) and measures 1
1/2" inside diameter
(I.D.). The connection can be made with a metal 1
7/8" I.D. coupler
and pipe, and should exit through the wall. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with
a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end of the pipe should be covered (screened) to
prevent foreign matter from entering the system. Our Outside Air Kit (
Part Number PU-OAK) can be used. If the unit is located below ground level, you
will need to run the pipe up and then outside the dwelling. NOTE: If the total run of
the connection exceeds 6', if more than 2 elbows are used, or if a basement installation,
use 3" metal pipe (and coupler) instead.

| NOTE: |
If an older unit, measure the opening to determine what size pipe to use or couple to. |

High Altitude Installation
If the unit is being installed at an altitude of 2,500 ft. above sea level
or higher, the following amendments to the chosen installation should be made:
The pellet vent pipe size should be increased to 4"
(Part
# AC-33100 vent kit) if choosing a "through-the-wall" installation.
If connecting to an existing chimney use 4" pellet vent pipe.
- The outside air intake should be increased to 3".
