Vent Information
C. Pellet Venting Charts
The maximum horizontal venting allowed with no vertical vent-
ing attached is 48 inches (1219mm) including one 90° elbow
or two 45° elbows. This is our recommended horizontal vent-
ing installation. Addition of any horizontal venting beyond 48
inches (1219mm) requires a minimum 60 inches (1524mm) of
additional vertical vent. Horizontal sections of vent pipe should
have a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) rise per foot.
GHP recommends any installation requiring more than two 90°
elbows, or more than 15 feet (4.5m) of venting to use 4 inch
(102mm) vent.
45° elbow is equivalent to 1 foot
of straight pipe
90° elbow is equivalent to 3 feet
of straight pipe
NOTICE: These are guidelines for successful venting of your pellet appliance. The more vertical rise you can obtain in
your system, the better it will perform. Horizontal vent runs can accumulate ash and will need to be cleaned more often.
Try to keep them as short as possible.
