An outside air source may be connected directly to
this stove using an optional outside air kit. The
advantage of providing outside air directly to the
stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion
is taken from outside of the residence rather than
from within the room where the stove is located.
With outside air supplied directly to the stove, drafts
within the room and air infiltration within the building
are reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly airtight
house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3"
(76 mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) which
leads to the outside of the house. When considering
placement of the duct from the outside of the house
to the hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid
structural members of the house. The outside air kit
will attach to the back of the stove.
The termination of the duct on the outside wall of the
stove should be located in such a manner so as to
preclude the possibility of obstruction by snow,
leaves or other material and should be screened
against animals and insects. The termination should
be screened using ¼” x ¼” mesh rodent screen and
be covered with a rain/wind proof hood (flex pipe,
outside termination, mesh, and hood supplied by
others) Contact your dealer for availability).
