A 3” ins ide diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be atta ched to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 4, 5 & 6). A rodent guar d (minimum ¼” wire mesh) must be used at the terminus (refer t[...]

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) The longer the run of pipe in yo ur installation, the more restriction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used. • Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length (EVL). • Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL. • To calculate EVL, use the fo llowing con[...]
