Blower
The blower system on the Fireplace Xtrordinair is located away from the fireplace on an
outside wall. It draws air in from outside, circulating it around the fireplace, and delivering it
as heated air to the home. This type of blower system will create a positive pressure inside
the home, reducing cold air infiltration.
Connecting the Blower Duct:
After a location for the fireplace has been determined, the location for the blower housing
must be considered. The best location for the blower housing is on an outside wall as close
as possible to the fireplace so the 6" blower duct can be easily connected. The maximum
length for 6" diameter duct is 15'. If a blower duct run of more than 15' is desired, 8" diameter
duct can be used. It can have a maximum distance of 25'. If 8" duct is used there will need to
be two 8" to 6" reducers to make the connections to the fireplace and the blower housing. Do
not put more than two elbows in the system (regardless of whether 6" or 8" diameter duct is
used).
NOTE:
If the blower is to take air from a crawlspace or attic you must first check with your
local building inspections department to confirm that this type of installation is
permitted. In some areas this type of installation may require a special type of duct
termination like one with a fire curtain.
