DuraVent CVS Air Intake Manifold: brings outside air to your pellet stove’s air inlet
The DuraVent CVS Air Intake Manifold is a vent fitting that supplies outside air to a pellet stove with its own air inlet. It sits in the vent run and directs incoming air to the stove through a separate aluminum flex pipe. CVS is DuraVent’s concentric vent: the exhaust runs up a 3 inch inner pipe while combustion air comes in through the 5 inch outer pipe around it. Exhaust passes through the manifold in the inner pipe. This arrangement uses one hole through the wall or roof for both paths. Feeding the fire outside air rather than heated room air also helps reduce drafts.
The manifold works in pellet runs through a wall or roof. Choose galvalume or painted black. You’ll need separate 3 inch aluminum flex to connect it to the stove’s air inlet. The three fastening screws are included, but the flex is not. A pellet run begins with an adapter at the stove outlet, followed by a tee for cleaning access. Need that starting tee? See the DuraVent CVS Increaser Tee with Cleanout. The DuraVent CVS Air Intake Manifold ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
