Venting Installation

Optional Outside air Kit

The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it’s location. Outside combustion air is accessed through and exterior wall or a vented crawl space.

CAUTION: Air inlet ducts must not terminate in attic space.

The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed 3 feet below the flue gas outlet of the termination.

For further details on installation of outside air kit, please refer to instructions included with air kit.
