with all components necessary in completing
a combustion air vent system.

Install as follows:
Connect the 4" (102 mm) Class 0 air duct
provided, to the collar on the fi replace with the
clamps provided in the kit's hardware package
(Figure 16).
Route the Class 0 metallic air duct out the back
wall or side wall, up through the ceiling or fl oor
joists to an outside wall. The air duct's inlet
should be located above any anticipated
snow level. Check local building codes for any
restrictions. We recommend that the inlet be
at least 4 feet above grade level.
Note: Air inlet ducts must not terminate in
attic space.
Avoid installing the air inlet
where the opening could be
blocked by snow, bushes or
other obstacles. The maximum
height for the outside air is 50
feet above the hearth, provid-
ing the air inlet is terminated a
minimum of three (3) feet below
the chimney cap level.

Duct Hole Framing:
Cut or frame a hole through the outside of
the enclosure for the installation of the duct
inlet hood. A 5" (127 mm) diameter hole is
required. Feed the loose end of the fl exible
duct through the hole cut for the inlet hood and
attach to the collar on the inlet hood using two
(2) screws. Insert the hood into the opening.
Secure in place with nails driven through the
holes in hood fl ange. Seal with noncombustible
waterproof silicon type caulking. If additional
duct is needed, use Class 0 metallic air duct
(refer to Figure 16).
