Install the Fresh Air Kit - BVA1

A fresh air kit is available as an optional feature with this appliance. The fresh air kit helps to decrease the amount of room air taken by utilizing outside air for combustion. It is strongly recommended that it be installed. Installation of the fresh air kit should be performed at the framing stage of the fireplace installation.

The fresh air kit installs on the left side of the fireplace.

To install the BVA1 fresh air kit, refer to the installation instructions provided with the kit.

Note: The outside air kit can terminate at any level with the exception that it must terminate at least 1 ft below the vent termination cap. The fresh air kit inlet hood should be positioned at least 2 ft above the ground level, in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet.

WARNING: Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous. The outside air must not be taken from a garage space, attic spaces, basements, or above the roofing where other heating appliance, fans, or chimneys exhaust or utilize the air.

Framing (Figure 11)

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 11 for minimum framing dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Framing dimension "A" includes a three inch clearance for standoffs on firebox.
