VENTING INSTALLATION

OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODEL AK4/AK4F)

Installation of outside air kit should be performed during rough fram-

ing of fireplace due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion 

air is accessed through a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a 

sidewall (AK4). See page 15 for instructions of operating air kit.

 CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not 

terminate in attic or garage space.

The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed 

3 feet below the flue gas outlet of the termination.

CHIMNEY PIPE

 WARNING: Label part number 900599-01 must 

be applied by the installer to all chimney pipe 

sections but is not required on sections that will 

be visible after the installation is complete. Label 

must wrap around the circumference of the pipe. 

See accessories, page 19 for Kit F2659.

An IHP chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-

lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability 

to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting 

overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given 

in lineal gain chart (see Figure 9, page 8).
Lineal gain is actual measurable length of a part after two or more 

parts are connected.
