Installing A Pellet Vent Pro Stove Adapter

[@TheChristiondavid]

Thank you for posting this video as i just purchased my new pellet stove and piping kit and i was lost at how the pipe was attached to to the back of the stove since all the other piping interlock with each other

[@Johndada517]

From my experience... the last 3 years of running a pelpro pp130 .... my "through the wall pipe" off the back of my stove .... it fits tight in the first place ... so no paste or screws were used and I've had no issue

[@ericc8895]

How is the pp130 working? I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the pp130B

[@Johndada517]

@@ericc8895 zero problems at all for me or my father I decided to purchase him one as well... I highly recommend not purchasing the hopper extension tho the unit does not handle the weight well he's had a couple auger jams which ended up leading to a failure of the feed motor this happen twice and has not happen again since he stopped filling the extended hopper so full ...... do you have a pellet stove already??

@@Johndada517 I have never had a pellet stove. Current house has a soap stone wood stove we use as our main source of heat but we have sold this house and moving into our new one in 3 months roughly once the closing is complete. New place has a fireplace insert but we are going to install this pp130b in the dining room and never use the fireplace insert that is in the living room as they are not efficient. I did look at pellet stove inserts but they just cost way to much more money and I cannot justify $2,000 more for one with only a 45 pound hopper.

@@Johndada517 also our new place is roughly 1,857 Square feet and this pellet stove will be used as our main source of heat. Should be plenty big enough for it with no struggles?

@@ericc8895 I just fired up my pp-70 for the first time, did a long heat cycle on high OUTSIDE on the deck to burn off the assembly oils and paints. highly recommend!

Stupid question probably but I’m still gonna ask 😂 , how how does the outside of the 3” piping get? I’m overly paranoid and probably overdid the wall thimble but I’m curious about how hot it gets

What size screw do you use when connecting it to pellet stove

[@dmsteele92831]

Just installed one today, great vid!

[@diegosti]

You should put 2 lines of silicone and take the adaptor all the way back, then align it so is level with the T and put 3 stainless steel 5/16 screws.

[@haydenmyers1480]

after it dries how do you clean when needed take apart ?????

[@Johndada517]

I didnt glue or screw mine just for this purpose and I dont have any smoke leakage and haven't had any issue for the past 3 years

[@chrisbauer7999]

I had my stove for 15 years and never took the pipes apart, I had a tee with a plug in one end and just ran my brush up from it, and then from the inside of the stove out. I just took them apart to move the stove to a new location and they were still very clean. So you do not have to take them apart.

[@TheCreedBratton]

is the screw necessary?

[@DeathAngelHRA]

No. Neither is the silicone. The silicone is definitely needed on the outside wall thimble though to seal the gap around the pipe.

[@gman1003]

How is this an adapter??? An adapter adapts one type of pipe to another!!!

[@haack90]

Smooth pipe to interlocking pipe.

[@allischalmerswd]

Pretty sloppy with that silicon!

[@j.c187]

Sorry but that is a ugly caulking job

[@natgasf4097]

No need for rtv

[@greghill1106]

Omg,wtf???? That's all you show? Lame

[@DeathAngelHRA]

From my experience, this is not the order of install. Start with the wall thimble and attach the outdoor vertical pipe first, as you're restricted by the bracket depth attached to the house. Work your way back inside and slide the stove onto the adapter. No silicone or screws required for inside. 16 years with no problems and no smoke inside.
