Outside Air - Quadra-Fire 31M-ACC-MBK Owner's Manual

3100 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 fire 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.

Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
• 4 inch flex 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 flooring in your home.
1. Remove all materials from packing box.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter
to the stove using 4 screws. Figure 14.1
3. For floor instatllations, remove circular" knock-out" in the
base of the pedestal.
4. Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 4 inch (102mm)
hole in outside wall or floor to accommodate outside
air piping. Use 4 inch (102mm) aluminum metal flex 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 floor) and the pipe

5. Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances you
may not be able to install the flex 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 for cold air
infiltration.
