ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.) Blower The blower system on the Fireplace Xtrordinair is located away from the fireplace on an outside wall. It draws air in from outside, circulating it around the fireplace, and delivering it as heated air to the home. This type of blower system will create positive pressure inside the home, reducing cold air infiltration. - Page 16 ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION - SPECIFICATIONS (Cont.) Blower Duct (Continued) Provided with the fireplace is a start collar with a section of 6" flex duct that can be used as the blower duct. The flex duct connects to the blower housing and the start collar connects to one of the three blower duct hook-ups on the fireplace (right side, left side, and bottom).
