A. Outside Air Kit Installation

A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced.

Air is replaced via air leakage around windows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air source is highly recommended. An optional Out- side Air Kit is available.

Included in kit: Termination cap, (2) wire ties, flex adapter, and fasteners

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 (177oC). Cut the pipe to the required length for your installation.

Phillips head screw driver

Silicone sealant

Non-combustible pedestal sealing material if installing with the Alternate Floor configuration.

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

Instructions

1.Rear: Remove the access cover on the back of the pedestal and discard. Figure 39.2.

2.Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter to the appliance using 4 screws. Secure with wire tie. Figure 39.1.

3.Floor: For standard floor installation remove the circular “knock-out” in the base of the pedestal.

4.Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 4 inch (102mm) hole in out- side 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.

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

Figure 39.1.

If that is the case, follow the instructions for a rear installation install the flex pipe to the rear of the ped- estal and remove the circular “Knock-Out” in the base of the the pedestal. You must seal off the pedestal with non-combustible material (not supplied). The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room air can leak into the pedestal and to seal for cold air infiltration.

Figure 39.2.

Sealing Material (not supplied)

Remove Circular “Knock-Out” in Base of Pedestal and Seal the Pedestal with Non- combustible Material.

Figure 39.2 - Alternate Floor Installation

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation!

Do not draw outside combustion air from:

Wall, floor, ceiling cavity or enclosed space such as an attic or garage. Also do not draw outside air from close proximity to exhaust vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor may result if you do.

Flex Adapter

Wire Tie

For Floor Installa- tions Remove Circular “Knock-Out” in Base of Pedestal.

Flex Line

Wire Tie

Termination Cap

Wire Tie

Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage from leaves, snow, ice or other debrs. Blockage may cause combustion air starvation. Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate sensitive individuals.

The length of the outside air supply duct shall NOT exeed the length of the vertical height of the exhaust flue.

The fire will not burn properly and their will be smoke spillage when the door is opened due to air starvation.
