Pellet Stove Pipe & Venting

We apologize, but they do not make a 3" PL to 6" stovepipe adapter.

DuraVent is the manufacturer, but it makes several different brands of pipe, so compatibility will depend on this brand and the diameter.

Because pellet stoves operate using a combustion fan system, their venting systems share many similarities to direct vent gas appliances. Like direct vent fireplaces, pellet venting can be routed horizontally to an outside wall and terminated or it can be routed vertically for a short run before terminating. It is recommended to employ a short vertical run externally before terminating, as this will prevent the appliance from leaking smoke into the room if a power outage is experienced. Having the short vertical run allows negative pressure to pull residual smoke from the appliance after shutdown. For cleaning purposes, it is recommended to keep the vent run free of any unneccessary bends or turns. This will allow you to complete the cleaning procedure more effectively and prevent the build up of ash in the vent system. Of course, each pellet stove manufacturer will differ and it is important to employ an installation that will meet their standards. Local codes should also be consulted. With this information in hand, our NFI trained technicians will be happy to put a materials quote together for you, via our vent quote form.

Per national code, the termination for a conventional pellet vent appliance cannot be closer than 4 feet to a door or window. Please be sure to check with your local code office, as they may have a different requirement. Local jurisdiction has final authority.
