Outside Air Kit Installation - Quadra-Fire 57ST-ACC-AU Installation Manual

5700 Step Top AU Wood Appliance
E. 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 fire 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 needed. An optional Outside Air Kit is available.
Included in OAK-ACC:
Termination cap, (2) wire ties, flex adapter, and fasteners
Included in SRV7033-041:
Cover plate and sealing rope (see Floor Installation
Alternative below, Figure 20.2)
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
- 102mm flex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate
material, then it shall be made from durable,
non-combustible, heat resistant material up to
350oF. Cut the pipe to 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 appliance using 4 screws (Figure 20.1)
3. For floor installations, remove circular" knock-out" in the
base of the pedestal.
4. Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 102mm hole in
outside wall or floor to accommodate outside air piping.
Use 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 with silicone to
prevent moisture penetration.
5. Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances
you may not be able to install the flex pipe as show in
Figure 16.1. If that is the case, you will need to order
SRV7033-041 which includes a cover plate and sealing
rope as shown in Figure 20.2. The goal is to seal the
pedestal so no room air can leak into the pedestal or for
cold air infiltration.
