Minimum Clearance To Combustibles
Selkirk VP Pellet Pipe may be installed with a minimum 1" airspace clearance to combustible surfaces, such as framing lumber, drywall, plywood, or other building materials. VP Pellet Pipe may be exposed in occupied areas and painted pipe lengths help make your venting system an attractive accent to your interior decor. However, your venting system should be enclosed whenever it passes through closets, storage rooms, or accessible attics to ensure that the minimum 1” airspace clearance is maintained. This is particularly true in attics where cellulose-type or other blown-in Insulation materials could settle against the exposed vent pipe. It is also advisable to provide an enclosed chase for exterior vent systems to aid in reducing condensation and to protect the pipe from cold outdoor temperatures. VP Pellet Pipe features a proven joint design that allows for easy assembly. Special rope gaskets incorporated into the joint reduce leakage and help to minimize any accumulation of combustion powder residues. In addition, VP Pellet Pipe is listed for use with an optional, high-temperature silicon sealant which enhances the integrity of the joint assembly.
