Option 1: Connected to the outside air
with a kit
Although
recommended
, this setup is mandatory in some places.
Whether it is connected to the stove or not, the duct leading to the outside air must:
•
be protected outdoors by a grille whose clear passage section is at least 4" in
diameter. Beware of water infiltration, snow accumulation and wind impacts,
which can damage the system or hinder its operation
Option 2: Connected to the inside air
, in another location near the stove.
This air inlet must have a sufficient air intake (minimum ø 4"), from a crawl space,
ventilated room (basement) or another room in which the air exchange will always
be sufficient.
The criteria for the length of the duct and the bends are the same as for the
option 1.
Option 3: Without a connector
, air taken from the same room as the stove
This option is not recommended for an airtight house.
If it is not possible to connect the stove to the outside air, it is important to ensure
that the air exchange in the room will always be sufficient when the stove is in
operation.
The air damper keeps the house from cooling down when the stove is not in use. It
has a 100% open and a 100% closed position, which cannot affect combustion. It is
recommended when installing in a highly energy-efficient house.
It should ideally be placed as close to the outer wall as possible. Validate that the
air damper dimensions meet the installation's needs. The damper's control cable
is 48" long and the damper is ø4" in diameter.

authorized
0 to 8' 4 bends
8' to 10' 2 bends
12' and + 1 bend
COMBUSTION AIR (OPTIONS)
If our standard ø 4’ flexible duct is used,
we recommend a maximum length of
12' with no more than 4 bends (see table
to the right). If these recommendations
are exceeded, it will be necessary to
compensate with a larger diameter
and/or a smoother duct.
•
not be crushed
•
ideally be equipped with an air
damper (optional)
•
be at least 8' long , ideally insu-
lated, and form a loop in the wall
to prevent condensation
(in places
with winter temperatures)
