INSTALLATION

Install the fresh Air Kit - BVA1
A fresh air kit is available as an optional feature with this appliance.
The fresh air kit helps to decrease the amount of room air taken by
utilizing outside air for combustion. It is strongly recommended that
it be installed. Installation of the fresh air kit should be performed
at the framing stage of the fireplace installation.
The fresh air kit installs on the left side of the fireplace.
To install the BVA1 fresh air kit, refer to the installation instructions
provided with the kit.
Note: The outside air kit can terminate at any level with the
exception that it must terminate at least 1 ft below the vent
termination cap. The fresh air kit inlet hood should be positioned
at least 2 ft above the ground level, in a manner that will not
allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet.
WARNING: Exhaust products of gasoline engines are
hazardous. The outside air must not be taken from a garage
space, attic spaces, basements, or above the roofing where
other heating appliance, fans, or chimneys exhaust or utilize
the air.
Framing (Figure 11)
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in
place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering
and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 11 for minimum
framing dimensions.
