A system designed for venting a pellet stove directly through an exterior wall, rather than up through a chimney or flue. These systems typically include sections of specialized vent pipe, a wall thimble for safe passage through the wall, and termination cap to prevent backdrafts and water entry.
Utilizing a direct-vent setup can offer several advantages, including simplified installation in situations where a traditional chimney is unavailable or impractical. This approach can also lead to improved stove efficiency by maintaining optimal draft and reducing heat loss. The widespread availability and affordability of these systems have contributed to the increased adoption of pellet stoves as a viable heating alternative in various residential and commercial settings.
