Duct Hole Framing:

 Cut or frame a hole through 

the outside of the enclosure for the installation 
of the duct inlet hood. A 5" (127 mm) diameter 
hole is required. Feed the loose end of the fl exible 
duct through the hole cut for the inlet hood and 
attach to the collar on the inlet hood using two 
(2) short screws (provided), then wrap with duct 
tape. Insert the hood into the opening. Secure in 
place with nails driven through the holes in hood 
fl ange. Seal with noncombustible waterproof 
silicon type caulking. If additional duct is needed, 
use Class 0 metallic air duct (refer to

 Figure 12

)

.

NOTE:  

The Class 0 metallic air duct can be routed 

out the back wall or side wall, up through the ceiling 
or fl oor joists to an outside wall.  Check local build-
ing codes for any restrictions.  We recommend that 
the inlet be at least four (4) feet above grade level.
