Optional Outside air Kit (Model ak-4)

The installation of an outside air kit should be completed during the rough framing of the fire- place due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space.

CAUTION: Air inlet ducts must not be terminated in an attic space.

Avoid installing outside air eyebrow in areas where inlet opening may be blocked by snow, bushes or other obstacles (see Figure 10).

The maximum height for the air inlet termination cannot exceed 3 feet below the B-vent termination

CAUTION: Do not connect the remote wall switch to a regular 120v power source! Gas valve will be damaged beyond repair.

Connect 18 ga. wires from wall switch to gas control valve terminals marked TH and TPTH or to ignition module using pigtails and wire nut connectors supplied with appliance.

Note: If any of the original supplied wire must be replaced, use type 18 AWG-105 C (25 ft. maxi- mum length) or equivalent only.

CAUTION: Due to high tem- peratures, make sure wires are not touching upper firebox.

Wall Switch Installation

The electronic version uses a 24 VAC current sup- plied from a transformer mounted on the ignition module and is prewired for easy connection to a wall switch. The millivolt version uses a self-gen- erated millivolt current that allows you to activate the gas control valve directly without the use of normal household electricity. Both versions are supplied with a wall switch kit for ready connec- tion and mounting.

GAS SUPPLY TESTING

Note: This section is intended as a guide for quali- fied technicians installing gas to this appliance.

CAUTION: Do not connect appliance before pressure test- ing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result and an unsafe condition may be caused.

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup- ply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
