Outside Air Kit Installation - Quadra-Fire Adventure-III Installation Manual

D. Outside Air Kit Installation
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion
to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the
fire must be replaced.
Air is replaced via air leakage around windows and under
doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows,
an outside air source is highly recommended. An optional
Outside Air Kit (OAK-ADV) is available.
Included in kit: Termination cap, (2) wire ties, pedestal
coverplate, flex adapter, and fasteners. See Figure 5.9.
