-
nector (installer supplied) you will need from the firebox/fire
-
place to the exterior surface of the outside wall, where the air
kit hood will be installed. Add a few extra inches to the length
to allow for easier attachment of the outside duct connection
prior to securing the outside rain cap hood to the building.
2. Secure the 4 inch diameter duct to the Slide Assembly collar
on the firebox with band clamps or screws (installer supplied).
3. Run the other end of the duct through the exterior wall cutout.
4. From the outside of the building, connect the duct to the collar
on the outside air vent assembly with band clamp or screws
to secure (installer supplied).
5. Secure the Outside Air Vent Assembly to the outside wall with
the four 10 x 1 1/2 Hex Head Slotted Screws provided. Seal
with caulk as necessary.
See Figure 18.
6. Figure 19 illustrates the various options for installation of the
air duct run possibilities.
Note:
In installations where the flex duct would normally be
straight (without turns), it is recommended a turn or dip
be added in the run to reduce air velocity.
