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.

•Phillips head screw driver

•Silicone sealant

•Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through the wall or flooring in your home.

1.Remove all materials from packing box.

2.Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter to the stove using 4 screws. Figure 14.1

3.Remove circular” knock-out” in the base of the pedestal.

4.Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 4 inch (102mm) hole in outside wall or floor to accommodate outside air piping. Use 4 inch (102mm) aluminum metal flex or rigid piping to directly connect outside air to appliance intake. Use the supplied termination cap with a rodent screen. Seal between the wall (or floor) and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Asphyxiation Risk.

Do not draw outside combustion air from:

•Wall, floor or ceiling cavity

•Enclosed space such as an attic or garage

•Close proximity to exhaust vents or chimneys

Fumes or odor may result

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

Outside air inlet must be located to prevent block- age from:

•Leaves

•Snow or ice

•Other debris

Block may cause combustion air starvation

Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate sensi- tive individuals.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

Length of outside air supply duct shall NOT exceed the length of the vertical height of the exhaust flue.

•Fire will not burn properly

•Smoke spillage occurs when door is opened due to air starvation.

5.Floor Installation Alternative: In some instances you may not be able to install the flex pipe as show in Figure

14.1.If that is the case, you will need to order SRV7033- 041 which includes a cover plate and sealing rope as shown in Figure 14.2. The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room air can leak into the pedestal.
