B. Outside Air Kit Installation

A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combus- tion to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leak- age around windows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air source is needed. An optional Outside Air Kit is available.

Included in OAK-ACC: Termination cap, (2) wire ties, flex adapter, and fasteners

Included in SRV7033-041:Cover plate and sealing rope (see Floor Installation Alternative below, Figure 14.2)

Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)

4 inch flex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate material, then it shall be made from durable, non-combustible, heat resistant material up to 350oF. Cut the pipe to the required length for your installation.
