G. Outside Air Kit Installation
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion
to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the
fi re must be replaced.
Air is replaced via air leakage around windows and under
doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows,
an outside air source is highly recommended. An optional
Outside Air Kit is available.
Included in kit: Termination cap, (2) wire ties, fl ex adapter,
and fasteners
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
• 4 inch fl ex 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 screwdriver
• Silicone sealant
• Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through the
wall or fl ooring in your home
1. Remove all materials from packing box.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver attach the fl ex adapter to
the appliance using 4 screws. Figure 22.1
3. For fl oor installation remove circular "knock-out" in the
base of the pedestal.
4. Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 4 inch (102mm) hole in
outside wall or fl oor to accommodate outside air piping.
Use 4 inch (102mm) aluminum metal fl ex 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 fl oor) and the pipe with silicone to
prevent moisture penetration.

5. Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances you
may not be able to install the fl ex pipe as show in Figure
22.2.
If that is the case, use the cover plate and sealing rope
supplied with the pedestal kit as shown in Figure 22.2.
The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room air can leak
into the pedestal and for cold air infi ltration.
Fire Risk.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
• Wall, fl oor or ceiling cavity
• Enclosed space such as an attic or garage
• Close proximity to exhaust vents or chimneys
Fumes or odor may result
Asphyxiation Risk.
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow or ice
• Other debris
Block may cause combustion air starvation
Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate sensitive individu-
als.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Length of outside air supply duct shall NOT exceed the
length of the vertical height of the exhaust fl ue.
• Fire will not burn properly
• Smoke spillage occurs when door is opened due to air star-
vation.
