Edison Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix F: Combustion Air Supply

WARNING: FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION, IT IS MANDATORY TO CONNECT
THE STOVE TO AN OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR SOURCE. INSULATED PIPE
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 10 FEET.
It is recommended to install an outside air inlet in or near the room where the stove is
installed. When doing so, it is preferable to choose a wall which is not exposed to
dominant winds, depending on the conditions surrounding your house.
INSULATED PIPE
AIR SUPPLY
AIR INLET
EXTERIOR WALL
A 3" inner diameter metallic insulated pipe (A), flexible or rigid, must be connected to the
fresh air intake adapter (D) (this pipe must be HVAC type pipe and must comply with ULC
S110 and/or UL 181, Class 0 or Class 1 Standards and must withstand temperatures up to
250 °F).
To complete the installation, make a hole of 1/4" to 1/2" (6 mm à 13 mm) bigger than the
insulate pipe diameter in the outside wall of the house at the chosen location. From
outside, place the outside air inlet cap (E) in the hole (open side down) and fasten the
register to the wall, with screw. Place the insulated pipe (A) over the register tube and over
the stove's fresh air intake adapter (D). At each end, carefully pull back the insulation and
plastic cover, exposing the flexible pipe. Attach the flexible pipe using pipe clamps (C). For
a better seal, you may also use aluminum tape. Wrap the tape around the joint between
the flexible pipe and the air inlets. Carefully push the insulation and plastic cover back over
the pipe. Fix the plastic in place using aluminum tape.
