Pellet pipe thru the roof?

[MCPO]

Can pellet pipe be used to go straight up and through the roof in leu of a chimney?

Yes. You will need to maintain adequate clearances to combustibles (1" through the roof US, 3" canada) -- the pellet vent pipe manufacturers make a section that you can install that runs from your existing ceiling through the attic that accomplishes this.

Thanks ,
And does the rule of extending it 24" above the highest roof point within 10 ft ( chimney regulation ) apply to a pellet vent?
Or being it is a postive flow that would resist any backdraft , it is exempt?
Thanks again,
John

Yes John, in MA you must provide the 24" above the roof as you said.

OK, so I assume vent pipe size would have to increase to 4" exceeding 15 ft length ?

Not quite. This should get you what you need.

John, here is a link to the Simpson Duravent installation file which may help answer some questions for you.

Also, I am right in the middle of a complete install of my own free-standing pellet stove right now and my install includes a simple "T" with cleanout at the bottom out of the back of the stove and a straight 14' run vertically through the ceiling, attic and roof with 3" ventpipe. I can provide you with a lot of good information and assistance if you want to PM me.

Hi gw, I got my pipe (Simpson Duravent Pellet Vent Pro) from Franklin Fireplace where I bought my stove.
