Outside Air Kit
The optional Outside Air Kit (#95-53700) for both the
Hearth Mount and the Freestanding installation
allows you to draw air from outside your home—
rather than inside—to aid the draft of your stove.
Drawing air from the outside reduces drafts within
the room and air infiltration within the building. This
can also improve your stove’s performance in a
particularly airtight house.
If your home is well insulated and tight, consider
adding the Outside Air Kit—it might even be required
by code. Use this kit for both a fireplace and a
freestanding installation. (Please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 45 for more information.)
The Outside Air Kit allows for a direct stove
connection of a 3” (76 mm) diameter duct (which you
can obtain from another manufacturer); this duct
leads to the outside of the house. Connect the duct
to your stove in a number of ways (illustration is
typical for both Hearth Mount and Freestanding
models). Choose the one that is most convenient.
(Model #8570H shown)
When running the duct from your hearth to the
outside, make sure you avoid all structural members
of your house. At the point where the duct meets the
outside wall of your house, make sure that snow,
leaves, or other materials cannot obstruct the duct’s
opening. Also, screen this opening so that small
animals and insects can’t crawl or fly in.
Surround Kit
To reduce clearances around your wood stove, you
can install an optional Surround Kit (#95-59710).
The metal attachments of the surround match the
look of your wood stove and block the exposed
spaces between the stove and the fireplace.
The surround is designed to be installed on a stove
with either 4” or 6” legs. For 4” legs, the surround is
44” wide and 32” high; for 6” legs, the surround is
44” wide and 34” high.
The Surround Kit is available from your Hearthstone
dealer, and comes complete with all mounting
hardware and instructions. (Please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 45 for more information.)
Hearth Requirements and Floor
Protection
Install your Hearth Mount stove with 4-inch legs on
one of the following:
A noncombustible floor, such as a slab, cement,
or stone hearth. (A noncombustible floor will not
ignite, burn, support combustion, or release
flammable vapors when subjected to fire or the
anticipated heat from your stove.)
