for future reference.
Application
This optional convection duct kit redistributes the warm
air fl ow away from the fi replace opening to a more
desirable location using natural convection without
use of a fan. The warm air fl ow may be relocated to
a position higher up the wall, out the sidewalls, or
even to another room. The result is much cooler wall
temperatures above the fi replace opening for locating
televisions, artwork, etc.
The 1595CFK Circulating Fan Kit is not recommended
when installing the LDK Linear Duct Kit.
Any kit, LDK1, LDK3 or LDK4 may be used with any of
the listed model fi replaces.
As a further option, the warm airfl ow may be extracted
away from the duct kit plenum (LDK1 and LDK4 ONLY)
by connecting a 1270RBK Remote Blower Kit to the
duct kit plenum.
This kit is compatible with the “J” series Linear
fi replaces only. Earlier version fi replaces will not accept
the addition of this kit.
Note: These instructions are to be used in conjunction
with instructions supplied with the fi replace.
Note, the
fi replace requires the removal of the internal
convection baffl e for this system to function
properly—read instructions carefully.
The use of this kit will permit lower mantel clearances
to be used—see page 9. These lower mantel
clearances must only be used when the LDK Duct
system is installed.
Approvals
The LDK1, LDK3, LDK4 duct kits are CSA approved
for use only with Valor Linear Series fi replaces listed
above—DO NOT use with any other models.
5-inch diameter duct (not supplied) used with this
kit must be metal and meet requirements of UL-181
Class 1 Air Duct. Flexible aluminum duct is acceptable
provided it meets the UL-181 Class 1 requirements.
