A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for
combustion to take place. Whatever combustion air is
consumed by the fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via
air leakage around windows and under doors. In homes
that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air
source is needed. An optional Outside Air Kit is available.
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
-
4 inch flex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate
material, then it shall be made from durable,
non-combustible, heat resistant material up to
350°F. Cut the pipe to the required length for
your installation.
- Phillips head screw driver
- Silicone sealant
- Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through
the wall or flooring in your home.
Installation Instructions:
1.
Remove all materials from packing box.
2.
Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter
to the appliance using 4 screws
(Figure 26.1)
.
3.
For floor installations, remove circular” knock-out” in
the base of the pedestal.
4. Floor & Rear Installation:
Cut a 4 inch (102mm) hole in the outside wall or the
floor to accommodate outside air piping. Use 4 inch
(102mm) aluminum metal flex or rigid piping to directly
connect outside air to appliance intake. Use the
supplied termination cap with a rodent screen. Seal
between the wall (or floor) and the pipe with silicone to
prevent moisture penetration.
5. Floor Installation Alternative:
In some instances you may not be able to install the
flex pipe as show in
Figure 26.1
. If that is the case, you
will need to use a cover plate and a sealing rope that is
shown in
Figure 26.2
.

Fire Risk. Asphyxiation Risk.
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
•
Wall, floor or ceiling cavity
• Enclosed space such as an attic
or garage
•
Close proximity to exhaust vents
or chimneys
Fumes or odor may result
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent
blockage from:
• Leaves
• Snow or ice
•
Other debris
Block may cause combustion air starvation
Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate
sensitive individuals.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
Length of outside air supply duct shall NOT
exceed the length of the vertical height of the
exhaust flue.
•
Fire will not burn properly
• Smoke spillage occurs when door is
opened due to air starvation.
WARNING
NOTE:
The goal is to seal the pedestal so no room
air can leak into the pedestal or for cold
air infiltration.
