Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a used Englander 25-pdvc (2003) and installed it this weekend. Maybe I'm over reacting but the pellet vent coming off the back seems hotter than I expected. I'm venting with the 3" pelletvent thru wall kit with a 45° off the appliance collar before exiting house. Am I over reacting and this is normal?

Yes they still get pretty darn hot to the touch. I believe that is why they still require a minimum clearance between the pellet exhaust pipe and combustible materials.
 
You should have more than 1 inch of clearance inside the thimble. I believe I the typical clearance is about 2 1/2 to 3” inside the thimble. Then you have an 8” pipe between anything cumbustable

According to pelletvent instructions & thimble supplied, you only need 1" clearance.

As rick said,there is more clearance than that,inside the wall pass through,as long as it was installed properly,it would have come with its own directions.
