TYPICAL FRESH AIR TERMINATION
OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(Optional, unless installing in a mobile home)
Adequate ventilation air is required to operate this heater. During operation, the heater draws air for combustion which can be
assisted by the installation of outside combustion air inlets. However, certain weather conditions such as icing or use of kitchen
exhaust fans may impact and reduce the effectiveness of vents. It is important to note that room air starvation will negatively impact
the operation of the heater. Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance
Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be required.
1)
Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
2)
Existing fuel-
fi
red equipment in the house, such as
fi
replaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer
smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.
3)
Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4)
The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight
fi
tting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust
house air.
5)
There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6)
A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If an outside air intake is required.
•
Metal pipe (solid or
fl
exible) must be used for the outside air installation.
•
PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be used.
•
A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away from the prevailing winds MUST
be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building.
•
The outside air termination MUST be at least 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 4” (101mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must have an ID equal to the OD of the
outside air pipe on your heater. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. The
outside air connecting pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must
fi
t over, not inside, the outside air connection
to the heater.
