video that shows install of vent

[chrisasst]

does any one have a proper video that shows how to install a vent through the wall...
I read to cut a square hole and I read to cut a circle. The square hole would be easier, but not sure if that is right...

Also, how close to a house corner can you put a pipe in the wall.

Look at your manual for information also the pipe manufacturers have a lot of info on their web sites

All the holes I have seen have been square.

Lots of set backs but I have never seen one to a corner.

What flue pipe did you end up buying? Did you go with the Selkirk, or the Duravent?

Hello

I cut a round hole and it was not to hard even though it was cement board! Just trace the pipe on the wall and start cutting!

Hello gfreek

That video show a horizontal pellet flue pipe installation. Although I have seen it done, it is not recommended.

It is recommended to have an approx 5 foot vertical rise either inside or outside with a clean out T for better drafting and heat. This also prevents unwanted pellet dust from spewing out onto the siding of the house and passer's by. Also in the event of a power failure there would be no blow back that could set the house on fire or smoke it up real bad.

Here is a better video.

Here is a real nice double clean out T !!

Don2222,you are right. Posted it because he states to cut a 'round hole' vs square.

Heres a video that ran on the forum a while back. I recently did my own install, on the exterior
I used a Dremel plunge cutter to cut a narrow channel the thickness of the blade for the exterior thimble
to sit in, similar to what this guy does with the sawzall. I cut a round hole just big enough for the thimble.
Use of a plunge cutter is cleaner than a sawzall IMHO.
