Installation of Fireplace

CAUTION
Sharp Edges
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.
CAUTION
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow/ice
• Other debris
Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.
A. Install the Outside Air Kits
This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace system.
See Section 2.
The outside air kits are supplied with this fi replace and their
use is highly recommended to minimize the effects of nega-
tive pressure within the structure. We recommend you uti-
lize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the
outside air kits. Cold air fl ow can be minimized by putting a
small dip in the duct creating a cold air trap. This trap can
also help prevent heat build-up and exhausting out the intake
due to the stack effect. The outside air kit inlets should be
positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc.
to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need
to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (.914 m)
height difference must be maintained from the top of the up-
permost chimney section to the outside combustion air inlet.
See Figure 4.4.
See Figure 4.5 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
• Locate outside air kit on one side of fireplace. See
Figure 4.1.
