of the duct termination and the route of the duct run between the fireplace and the duct termination.

Duct run must be limited to a maximum distance of 40 feet from the fireplace pipe collar to duct termination. This will provide the least restriction to air flow. No more than four (4) 90° elbows can be used. Duct run may be horizontal, vertical, inclined or any combination of these. Vertical duct runs must be at least three (3) feet

Installing Outside Air Kit

An outside air kit may be installed on the EWF30. The AK-MST allows for 100% of required combustion air to come from outside source. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use of an air kit, then an AK-MST

is required to complete the installation (from air kit to the outdoors). If the outside air kit is to be used, the AK-MST MUST be installed BEFORE the fireplace is enclosed.

NOTE: Four (4) inch Class 1 air duct, material or metal duct (not supplied) may be used with AK-MST. (For installation in New York State, only aluminum, non- combustible flexible or type “O” metal ducting is permissible.)

Installation Precautions

The duct termination should be located so it is exposed to an out-of-doors opening at least 100 square inches. If the duct termination must be located in a crawl space or basement, be sure the termination area has 100 square inches of ventilation opening to outside air.

The duct termination must be located so it does not compete for air flow with exhaust fans, gas vent hoods or other air consuming devices or appliances. It must not be obstructed by rafters, insulation materials or other obstructions. The less restrictive the air supply, the better the AK-MST will perform.

It is a good practice to protect your hands and eyes during installation by wearing work gloves and safety glasses.

CAUTION: Do not install termination into a garage or other area that could contain flammable liquids or fumes, or into an attic space.

Carefully insert the cover plate into the opening and cover the air inlet opening in the bottom of the firebox. (Fig. 14) Use the screws removed from cover plate to secure cover plate over opening. Use care not to rub against the sharp edges of this opening to avoid cuts.
