Step 6. OUTSIDE AIR KITS

Optional outside make-up air kits, Model
FOAK-4 or FAOK-4LD (see Figure 22 on Page
15), may be used with these appliances. Refer
to the installation instructions packaged with
the air kits for specific installation information.
If used, the outside air kit must be installed
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in
the finished wall.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies
air to the fire for combustion. Only one outside
air duct is necessary, if installed. See Figure
9, Page 9 for the location of the units outside
air inlet.
If additional length of duct is necessary, pur-
chase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1
metallic ducting. The duct may extend up to 50'
(15.24 m) in any direction.
Note: When installing the air duct vertically,
DO NOT terminate the duct closer than 3 feet
below the chimney top.
Outside combustion air ducting may be run
upwards or vertically through framing and
ceiling joists, with the hood installed through
an outside wall and 3 feet (1 m) below the ter-
mination. Ducting may also be run downward
through floor Joists and under the home to a
ventilated crawlspace not considered part of
the living area of the home.
Note: Do not terminate outside air kit in attic
space under any circumstances.
After completing the installation of the optional
outside air vent system, the outside air control
lever must be put in service and tested to
ensure proper operation before completing
any enclosure around the firebox. Failure to do
so may result in extensive and costly rework.
Before the operation of the vent system can
be tested, the lever securing screw must be
removed. See Figure 21 on Page 15.
The hand operated outside air control lever
is located on the right side of the fireplace
opening. See Figure 21.
To open the outside air , open the bottom control
access panel, reach into the gap between the
firebox bottom and pull the outside air control
lever all the way out.
CAUTION
Never locate inlet where it can be blocked by shrubs, snow drifts, etc. Never locate inlet in garage or any area where there is another fuel burning appliance or products emitting combustible gases such as paint, gasoline, etc. In cold climates, it is recommended the outside air duct be insulated.
