What does Direct Vent (DV) mean and how does the stove vent?
Direct Vent technology means that the combustion air for the burner enters the stove from outside the dwelling. No room air is used for combustion making the DV stoves the most efficient freestanding stove on the market. The pipe is a double walled pipe with a pipe inside of a pipe. The outside diameter (OD) is 6-5/8″ and the inside exhaust pipe is 4″. The combustion air comes into the stove between the first and second pipe and the gases exhaust out the center pipe.
