RHW-44 WOODBURNING FIREPLACE
STEP 14 - Installing the CAK4.
When installing a CAK4 chimney air kit, follow the
instructions provided with this accessory. Use of a
CAK4 is required in Canada.
STEP 15 - Installing an Outside Air Kit (standard).
The outside air kit is supplied as a standard feature
with this fireplace and its use is highly recommended
to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the
structure. Figure 17 illustrates two of many possible
methods that can be used to supply outside air to the
fireplace system.

Outside Air Location
NOTE: The outside air kit can terminate at
any level with the exception that it must ter-
minate at least one foot below the chimney
terminal cap as shown in Figure 17.
The outside air kit may be installed on either the left
hand or right hand side of the fireplace. Remove the
cover plate from the side of the firebox assembly where
the air kit is to be installed. See Figures 18 and 19.

STEP 16 - Completion of Fireplace Enclosure.
Complete the fireplace enclosure, allowing space for
outside air ducts and gas piping if desired. Electrical
wiring should not come in contact with the unit. A mini-
mum clearance of an 1/2" must be maintained between
the fireplace sides and the enclosure as well as the fire-
place back and the enclosure. See Figure 4 for framing
details.
NOTE: Use only a non-combustible material to
finish the face of the fireplace below the level
of the front standoffs. A non-combustible
material such as USG MICORE CV230 Mineral
Fiber Board, or USG DUROCK Cement Board is
recommended for this purpose.
