Outside Air Supply - HearthStone Phoenix 8612 Owner's Manual

O A S
UTSIDE IR UPPLY
You can connect an outside air source directly to
this stove using an optional outside air kit. The
advantage of providing outside air directly to the
stove is that the air used by the stove for
combustion is taken from outside the residence
rather than from within the room where the stove is
located. With outside air supplied directly to the
stove, drafts within the room and air infiltration
within the building are reduced. Use of the outside
air kit may also improve stove performance in a
particularly airtight house, or when several other air-
exhausting appliances are present.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3"
(76 mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) which
leads to the outside of the house. When

considering placement of the duct from the outside of
the house to the hearth, keep in mind the need to
avoid structural members of the house. The outside
air kit will attach to the bottom of the stove. Before
installing the kit, determine where the duct for the
outside air will terminate. The duct can terminate
from the back center of the ash dump box or the
center of the right side of the ash dump box by
changing the position of the screw-on plates and the
adaptor.
Ensure the termination of the duct on the outside wall
of the structure is located in such a manner to
prevent the possibility of obstruction by snow, leaves
or other material. Screen the duct opening against
animals and insects. The termination should be
screened using ¼" x ¼" mesh metal screen and be
covered with a rain/wind proof hood (flex pipe,
outside termination, mesh, and hood supplied by
others. Contact your
Phoenix Model 8612
dealer for availability).
