APPENDIx 6: OPTIONAL FORCED AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT INSTALLATION
It is possible to connect a forced air distribution kit
on either side of this fireplace. Installing
19
the kit on the left side of the fireplace will provide better performances than on the right side.
This kit allows distributing heat to another room up to 50 feet (15 m) of the fireplace. The
insulated flexible pipe (not included in the kit) 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. For the complete installation procedure, see the installation manual provided with the kit.

The EPA standard states that it is necessary to perform certification testing with any ventilation that is likely to alter the units' performance. For this
19
reason, SBI has tested the effects of the forced air kit on the emissions of fine particles. Due to the design of the appliance and more specifically to
the temperature sensor that is installed to control stops and starts, the forced ait kit does not affect the emission results. In fact, this option promotes
the recovery of excess heat to later redistribute it to other rooms. During testing, it was noted that the convection blowers underneath the firebox
had more of an effect on the fine particles emission due to the air being directed onto the firebox thus cooling the unit. However, this appliance has
already been tested for emission with one or more convection blowers. The environmental requirements are then met efficiently.
