Chase Air Inlets
THE CHASE ENCLOSURE MUST HAVE A MINIMUM 30in² (194 cm²) ROOM AIR INLET FOR EACH
REMOTE HEAT KIT INSTALLED ON THE FIREPLACE or IF THE CHASE HAS ANY VENTS OR OPENINGS
ABOVE THE HEIGHT OF THE DOOR.
If two heat kits are used the inlets can be combined, but it must be 60in² (387 cm
2
) or greater.
A chase air inlet is not required if a remote heat kit is not installed, but a single inlet is recommended for
efficiency.
The Chase Air Inlet(s) can be installed along the lower portion of the chase as long as they pull the air
from the room the fireplace is in. This will prevent reversal of flow if there are pressure differences in
the house.
The inlet can range from 1 1/2" (40mm) off of the floor to a maximum of 18" (460mm)
