Ventilation Opening Locations
The following are examples of how the ventilation openings may be placed
above the fireplace.
The air travelling through the heat exchanger is heated by the fireplace and
then directed out the back of the fireplace. The combined warmed air is then
vented back into the room.
If using the optional heat wave kit, this does not reduce the size of the
ventilation opening. The ventilation opening(s) must be a minimum 180
square inches regardless.
Front Exit
The ventilation opening may be placed in front ensuring it meets the 180
square inch opening & is located 0-2" (51mm) from the enclosure ceiling.
Side Exit (Left/Right)
Ventilation openings, when placed on both sides, must be of the same size.
They must be have an equal split (50/50) free air opening to balance air flow.
A ventilation opening may never be on one side only.
The ventilation openings cannot be any smaller than 6" (152mm) wide to
equal the total area of 180 square inches of free open area.
Example: 6" (152mm) wide x 15" (381mm) High = 90 square inches per side
of free open area. A second ventilation grill is installed on the other side to
=100%.
The ventilation openings must be located 0-2" (51mm) from the enclosure
ceiling.

Top Exit
The ventilation opening may be short of the ceiling as shown below.
Minimum opening height must be 1-3/4" (44mm) measured from top of
enclosure to the ceiling and must be in open in front and both sides to
meet the minimum 180 square inches free open air requirement.
The ventilation opening may be fully open at the top of the enclosure.
This type of ventilation opening would be used when the top of the
enclosure is not visible from above and where the ceiling within the
room is higher than normal. When creating this type of ventilation
opening, measures should be into place to avoid having objects of any
type falling or be thrown into the ventilation opening. Mesh screen or
other preventative measures should be put into place.
The ventilation opening may be placed on top ensuring it meets the 180
square inch opening. This type of ventilation opening would be used
when the top of the enclosure is visible from above and where the
ceiling within the room is higher than normal.
