I was looking at a pellet stove at a store that specializes in stoves. One of the places that I would like to install my stove would require the vent to go up about 5-7 feet from the stove into an elbow and then do a horizontal run of about 10-12 feet to exit the house. I mentioned this to the guy and he said it would be acceptable.
I started looking at a Summers Heat stove that is sold by Lowes. When viewing the owners manual online, it says to not have a horizontal run of more than 4 feet.
So what's the story with horizontal runs of vent pipe and how much is considered acceptable? Does it vary according to the type of stove you purchase? This would be the only reason I could think of that the guys answer varies from the owners manual (of a different brand of stove)
Thanks for the tips
