C. Outside Air

A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fire must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home.

The Constitution Fireplace comes equipped with an outside air intake to feed combustion air from outside the home, along with an outside air termination cap. The 6 in. (152 mm) solid/flex pipe is not supplied.

Outside air is required to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. It is recommended to utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the Out- side Air flex tubing. The outside air inlet thimble should be positioned above the ground level, and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. If you live in an area that experiences deep snow levels, this must be taken into con- sideration when determining the height placement above ground level. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fire- place system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhaust- ing devices which create a negative air pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located.

NOTE: OUTSIDE AIR IS REQUIRED.

An outside air control handle allows you control of the out- side air inlet. This may be closed only when the fireplace is not in use to prevent cold air infiltration. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly.

See Figure 45.1, for location and operation.
