Englander Installation

No PVC anywhere with a pellet stove ever.

Download the manual, read it from the beginning to the end several times before doing a single bit of installation work.

Before even putting that used stove into a room in the house clean it from front to back, top to bottom, and left to right, following the directions provided by England.

Check all gaskets, replace those that fail or can not be adjusted for, before doing a dry run.

Dry run the stove outside, before putting the stove in the house.

Pay very close attention to the venting setup, it is critical for the proper operation and safety of the stove, do not forget the OAK, it must be installed and there are requirements on that as well.

Observe all clearances. If you have enough room you can increase them never decrease them.

I believe that you definitely want to start by getting the right manual for the stove. These are free to download and print at: http://www.englandsstoveworks.com/manuals.html...I wouldn't proceed to install the stove until you have read and understood the manual.

you guys are great, thanks for the assist!

definately read our manual for the unit as for the "PVC" intake that is not legal, the intake must be a metal pipe 2 inch unless it needs to be longer than 6 ft in which case a 3 inch should be used

I apologize for the vagueness of this post, but am hoping for some assistance. My buddy just boght a used Englander (don't know the model #) for his 1500 sq. foot home. He is planning to vent it through the wall. When he bought it there was no owners manual, so he is wondering about a small piece of PVC on the back of the stove. I am assuming that is for an air intake, and the exhaust pipe is the separate 3" pipe. Is this a correct assumption, and if so, does it matter where the pvc draws from?
Thanks,
John

Mmmmmm Yummy

I strongly suggest you do NOT install it tonight. See above remarks.

Let us know how things go.

Used stoves are usually a very good deal but need work up front that the original owner didn't do and was likely the reason they sold the stove to start with.

Since this was a USED (and possibly abused) stove, I highly recommend taking the stove outdoors, removing as many panels, ash trap covers, blower motors, etc, etc, and giving it a deep cleaning with compressed air, leaf blower, etc.
