UTSIDE IR OOT
The outside air boot includes all of the items necessary to route outside air to the stove for combustion
when a stove is installed on legs. Before installing, check the section "Outside Air Requirements" on
page 9 for installation concerns. The directions below outline the steps for installing outside air boot.
1. Before installing the stove, determine the location of the outside air hole that penetrates through
the floor protection and floor. The illustrations below detail the size of the outside air boot and
its location in relation to the faceplate of the stove. The hole may be cut anywhere underneath
the outside air boot, as long as it is not within 1" of the outside perimeter of the outside air boot,
is at least 16 square inches in area, and does not interfere with structural members of the home.
Cut the hole when the correct location is determined.
2. Install the legs (see instructions above). Pry out the outside air knock-out. It is 3 7/8" wide, 2
1/2" deep, and 5 13/16" back from the front of the stove. See the illustration below.
3. Align the air boot over the knock-out and mark the locations where the two holes located on the
top side of the air boot line up on the bottom of the stove. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill
holes into the bottom of the stove where the marks were placed (you may need to tilt the stove or
place it on its side). Drill only enough to penetrate the first layer of metal.
See the instructions for
exact location and size.
4. Attach the fiberglass tape to all four top edges of the air boot. There is a seam in the bottom
segment of the air boot. Position the air boot over the knock-out so this seam is facing the rear.
Attach the air boot to the bottom of the stove with two of the included sheet metal screws.
5. Right the stove and position it in its final position. Mark the location where the air boot contacts
the floor. Attach fiberglass tape to the bottom of the air boot so it covers all four edges of the air
boot, and telescope the air boot down until it makes contact with the floor. Press against the air
boot so it seals against the floor.
6. The two holes on the sides of the air boot are used to hold for a screw that keeps the two
telescoping segments of the air boot from moving. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill a hole
through the holes and into the top segment of the air boot. Then screw the two remaining sheet
metal screws into these holes. Use touch-up paint to remove scratches from the outside air boot.
7. The outside air boot includes several cover plates. Use the cover plate that is 6 1/2" wide. The
rest may be discarded. Remove the two screws that hold the piece that fits over the air control
rod in place (see the illustration below). Slide the air control plate in place underneath the air
control rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The cover plate should form an
air-tight seal against the air control portion of the stove.
