Outside Air Kit Installation - Quadra-Fire 4300 Series Owner's Manual

4300 Wood Stove Series (ACC)
B. Outside Air Kit Installation
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combus-
tion to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed
by the fi re must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leak-
age around windows and under doors. In homes that have
tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air source is
needed. An optional Outside Air Kit is available.
Included in OAK-ACC:
Termination cap, (2) wire ties, flex
adapter, and fasteners
Included in SRV7033-041:
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
• 4 inch fl ex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate material,
then it shall be made from durable, non-combustible,
heat resistant material up to 350
the required length for your installation.
• Phillips head screw driver
• Silicone sealant
• Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through
the wall or fl ooring in your home.
1. Remove all materials from packing box.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the fl ex adapter
to the stove using 4 screws. Figure 14.1.
3. For fl oor installations remove circular" knock-out" in the
base of the pedestal.
4. Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 4 inch (102mm)
hole in outside wall or fl oor to accommodate outside
air piping. Use 4 inch (102mm) aluminum metal fl ex or
rigid piping to directly connect outside air to appliance
intake. Use the supplied termination cap with a rodent
screen. Seal between the wall (or fl oor) and the pipe

Fumes or odor may result
Asphyxiation Risk.
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent block-
age from:
• Leaves
• Snow or ice
• Other debris
Block may cause combustion air starvation
Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate sensi-
tive individuals.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Length of outside air supply duct shall NOT exceed
the length of the vertical height of the exhaust fl ue.
• Fire will not burn properly

5. Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances you may
not be able to install the fl ex pipe as show in Figure 14.1.
If that is the case, you will need to order SRV7033-041
which includes a cover plate and sealing rope as shown in
Figure 14.2. The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room
air can leak into the pedestal or cold air infi ltration.
