Outside Air Installation
The outside air assembly must be installed
according to the following guidelines:
1. The maximum length of 4" I.D. (100 mm)
insulated flexible duct is 20 feet (6.1 m). If a
longer duct is required, use a 6" I.D. (150mm)
insulated flexible duct. The maximum length
is 40 feet (12 m). Refer to Figures 8B and
8C for connections.
2. The duct and register may be installed above
or below floor level.
3. The outside air register must not be installed
more than 7 feet (2.1 m) above the base of
the fireplace.
4. The outside air assembly must draw air from
outside the house. It must not draw air from
the attic, the basement or a garage.
5. Locate the outside register where it will be
well away from automobile exhaust fumes
or other vents.
6. The outside air register should be installed
where it is not likely to be blocked by snow
or exposed to extreme wind.
7. It is recommended to install the outside air
register at floor level. However, if you must
raise the air register above the fireplace level,
you will have to make a loop to the floor with
the flexible pipe to prevent from causing a
draft in the outside air register (see Figure
8 Detail A).
