Question about venting configuration

[kframe19]

I'm looking at getting a Castle Serenity in the next month or two, but I can't figure out a venting question I have.

I live in a center townhouse (houses on either side), and want to do a corner installation. I have enough distance to the sidewall of the house next to me, and I can come up beside a picture window that doesn't open, so I'm good there.

Can both the vent pipe and the air intake pipe go the same direction and through the same wall (left or right, vs the vent angles left, the intake angles right)? Seems like a silly question, I know, but with how my house is configured, I'm very limited in my installation options.

None of the user guides for any of the stoves I've looked at have really answered that question.

One above the other is completely acceptable as long
as the exhaust is higher than the intake.
See page 12 to 16 of manual
If you do not have a manual you can down load one on line .

You can also use a duplex thimble such as this to route the OAK and the exhaust into the same hole opening. Makes for a neater and quicker installation but the cost for the thimble is considerably more.

Excellent, thank you, gentlemen.

I thought that was the case, but the manuals I've downloaded for various stoves weren't really clear on the issue.

Page 16 of the Castle manual shows two possible installations going straight out the back, but what was confusing me was the illustration on page 11 showing a corner installation through the one sidewall for the vent, and the intake going through the other side wall. I know that illustration was for clearances, but... it confused me.

The manual for that stove also states that the maximum vertical installation is 18' but in the EVL schematic it shows that it's possible for a 33' installation. Go figure. Another interesting thing about that manual is that there is a paragraph concerning how the stove performance will vary as to different qualities of pellet fuel. The manual was published in 2013. That same paragraph exists on my website nearly word for word, where I speak to the variabilities of any pellet stoves' performance with relation to fuel quality. My website, specifically that paragraph, was published in 2009. No worries, my attorney is on it.
