Weld l:nrenutr CODEWORD Kentaro Tsutsumi Chairman December, 199t Charles J. Dinezio Administrator PELLET STOVES - AT ISSUE With the high cost of sources of energy and the heating season upon us once again, many people are looking towards alternate or supplementary methods of providing warmth for themselves and their families. Passive wood stoves (devices that need to be manually stoked) have been a favorite over the years, both for their handsol a appearance and for their tory supply of heat. 'The pellet stove has evolved from these earlier solid fuel burning models. Pellet stoves allow a person to fill a storage bin that is attached to the unit with fuel. The fuel (pellet) is then auger-fed to the burn chamber at a specific rine to keep the fire and heat roaring. This,of course, frees the person who would normally tend the fire ut perforin other tasks, such as sit back and enjoy the flame. The December, 1990 issue of CODEWORD announced the approval of certain direct vent versions of a solid fuel burning device that uses corn as its source a fuel. Certainly, this is an innovative method for dealing with heating issues in terms of the environment (less destruction of trees) and in terms of the costs (of wood products). Although many pellet stoves are fueled by wood products, they, too, can be operated with creative alternate sources such as corn kernels, rice coal or even walnut shells. (the type of stove would dictate the type of fuel.) I lowever, with innovation sometimes comes problems, at least for regulators. All new ideas are subject to improvement as lessons are learned through operation. The test methods identified in the appendices of the building code are designed to help avoid expensive lessons. These tests are meant to challenge the operation of devices as they normally would perform when installed. The listing laboratory then labels the product to assure the buying public that some type of performance test was administered and the results were favorable. We all recognize the seal of Underwriters IaboratoV (UL) as the most common marking. When a new product such as the pellet stove is introduced to the market, testing becomes a problem. The standard tests for solid fuel burning appliances are intended to test passive devices, not actively-fed models. Although in some respects this may not he a great concern. it does raise at least one issue: how does the unit respond ut negative pressure (not currently part of the required testing process). Thus, in the interest of public safety, the Board of Building Regulations and Standards has voted to take steps to address this matter. The following lirticle details the path that the manufacturer, consumer and building official must take when selling or installing a pellet stove in the Commonwealth for the cited periods of time. In the future, proper testing may make much of this procedure unnecessary. Until such time, the following action is required. Publication No.17.(N)7-101100-12-91-.21-C.R.

Pellet stoves/heaters/fireplace inserts are heating appliances that burn wood pellets, but may also he designed to burn rice coal, kernel corn, walnut shells, or other pelletized types of solid fuels. Such appliances typically possess numerous electro-mechanical devices that are subject to potential failure or abnormal operation. Because the existing Building Code requirements for solid fuel burning equipment did not anticipate pellet stove technology (the edsting Code requirements - Section 3409 -were written some 10 to 15 years ago and were intended to deal largely with "passive", as opposed to electro-mechanically "active", solid fuel hurning equipment), the State Board of Building Regulations and Standards (SBBRS) at it's December 10, 1991 meeting has approved an "AFFIDAVIT PROGRAM" for pee-flet appliances for the Fall 1991/Winter 1992 heating season. In summary, each pellet appliance manufacturer must provide an affidavit to the SBBRS and to the manufacturer's sales representatives. To obtain the necessary building permit, the end-user shall provide to the local building department a copy of the affidavit referring to the specific pellet appliance which is to be installed. Pellet appliances, in addition to being UL 1482 or ANSVUL 737 labeled (which have been traditional requirements of the Building Code for all solid fuel burning appliances - Section 3409.2) wilLeither: a) have been tested to ULC 5627 or ASTM draft standard E-91, revised draft 5/28/91, in a "negative pressure" environment and have demonstrated acceptable performance under such test conditions (acceptable performance includes satisfying requirements for minimum CO release into the test enclosure and additionally; demonstrating that burnback into the fuel hopper does not occur for either normal or abnormal operating states in a test enclosure at "negative pressure", relative to bulk air presswc): . OR _ . h) if not so tested, the manufacturer shall provide a carbon monoxide (CO) gas alarm with the sale of the pellet appliance. These requirements are imposed on pellet appliances because there exists the possibility that should mechanical draft in the pellet stove fail and the building in which the pellet appliance is operating is tightly constructed, the pressure in the building could be lower than the bulk atmospheric pressure - particularly if the building has bathroom, kitchen or other exhaust fans operating. Under such conditions, a pellet appliance might backdraft into the building, or even burnback into the fuel hopper, where, depending on the manufacturer, from 20 to 150 pounds of pellets may be stored (note that even if the pellet appliance does not rely on mechanical draft, these "negative pressure" issues still exist). From the perspective of the local building departments, it will only he necessary to advise applicants seeking a permit to install a pellet appliance that he must get the required affidavit from the manufacturer, and that the affidavit must he Bled with the permit application. Titcre are two (2) types of allidavits, titles are shown on the [text page. PAGE 2 PELLET STOVE REQUIREMEN-TS - CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 One affidavit is entitled: SOLID FUEI.

As this is an important issue that may affect manv building officials in the conning months, we have reproduced below that portion of the instruction page addressing CO gas alarm requirements. (Note that it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to choose an appropriate gas alarm.)

The CO gas alarm shall be located either in the room in which the pellet stove is operating or shall otherwise be located to ensure early warning in the event of abnormal pellet surae operation (the gas alarm installation shall be per the alarm manufacturer's instructions and otherwise he in accordance with all applicable local, State and Federal requirements, and any additional requirements imposed by the pellet stove manufacturer). Should the gas alarm be energized via battery, the alarm should. if possible, be designed to warn the user of low battery voltage, or weakened charge. "The pellet sloe manufacturer shall provide the gas alarm and any and all necessary gas alarm instruction materials, as part of the equipment and materials furnished at the time of sale of the pellet stove. r Pages four (4) and five (5) that follow are samples of the affidavits that a building official must receive when an individual is applying for a permit to install a pellet stove. Please remember that this action is on1v required for pellet devices, not for passive devices that would be labeled through the normal tcstine procedure.
