HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION (optional)

Different hot air ducting systems can be installed with the BIS TRADITION:

The gravity kit is used when the rooms are on same level or floor as the fireplace or on an
upper level or floor. If the heat to  be distributed is on a lower level or floor or through the
central heat duct of a furnace, then the forced air kit MUST be used.
