Depending on the pellet stove you own, you will need either a 3” or 4” vent pipe. The specific size required can be found in your installation manual or by contacting your local Forge & Flame dealer.
Venting Options and Requirements
When venting your pellet stove, there are a few options to consider. Commonly, pellet stoves use a type 'L' vent pipe. Typically, a 4-inch vent pipe is standard. The L-vent uses a small air space between a stainless steel inner pipe and a galvanized outer pipe. Because pellet stove exhaust is pressurized, all the joints between the pipes must be sealed with silicon or have a tight, sealed or gasketed connection to ensure safety and efficiency.
