The International Residential Code (IRC) does not
allow the outside air duct to terminate higher than
the appliance. Some building officials also do not
Figure 4 – Outside Air Kit Detail
like to see any vertical rise in the duct’s termination.
Hearthstone recommends the termination be at the
same level, or lower than the air intake on the stove.
Locate the termination of the duct on the outside
wall of the home in such a manner to avoid the
possibility of obstruction by snow, leaves or other
material. Screen the termination using ¼” x ¼” mesh
rodent screen and cover it with a rain/wind proof
hood (flex pipe, outside termination, mesh, and hood
supplied by others) Contact your dealer for
