C-6. OPTIONAL FRESH AIR INTAKE KITS

MODEL: VFFB-AK-36

VFFB-AK-42

Installation of our 6" fresh air intake kit is simple and easy to complete. This system MUST BE installed before the fire- place is enclosed with finishing material.

Install model VFFB-AK-36 on VFFB-36D. Install model VFFB-AK-42 on VFFB-42D. The air will be drawn into the cooling layer of the fireplace and be completely separated from the combustion casing of the vent-free fireplace.

Cooler outside air will mix with room air, circulating around the firebox to reduce the heat output and bring heated, fresh air into the house to provide a more positive balance.
