OUTSIDE AIR KIT
It is mandatory to install an outside air connection to the wood burning
fireplace. The following components are required and are included with
the fireplace:
• Outside air kit (includes 4 inch flex that goes up to ten (10) feet long)
• 4” Adaptor for fireplace connection
The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following
requirements:
Outside Air Installation
The outside air assembly may be installed according to the following
requirements:
A) Duct length should be kept to a minimum. The maximum length of a
4” interior diameter (100 mm) insulated flexible duct is twenty (20)
feet (6.1 m). (See note below).
B) The air intake register must not be installed more than ten (10) feet
(3050 mm) above the base of the fireplace.
C) The fresh air must come from outside the house. The air intake must
not draw air from the attic, basement or garage.
D) The air intake should be installed where it is not likely to be blocked by
snow or exposed to extreme wind and away from automobile exhaust
fumes, gas meters and other vents.
E) The duct and register may be installed above or below floor level.
Make a 4-1/4” (110 mm) hole in the outside wall of the house at the chosen
location. From outside, place the outside air register in the hole (open
side down) and fasten the register to the wall with screws as shown (see
Figure 19A
)
. Slip the pipe into the insulated sleeve. Place the insulated
pipe over the register tube and over the fireplace’s outside air connector
(
see
Figure 19B
).
At each end, carefully pull back the insulation and plastic
cover exposing the flexible pipe. Using the aluminium tape provided,
wrap the tape around the joint between the flexible pipe and the air inlets.
Carefully push the insulation and plastic cover back over the pipe. Using
aluminium tape, fasten the plastic cover in place.

NOTE:
We recommend not to exceed twenty (20) feet of 4” flexible pipe.
If you require a longer length we recommend that you use a 5” diameter
flexible pipe for the complete run up to thirty (30) feet and a 6” diameter
pipe for a run of up to forty (40) feet.

Complete the Field Wiring
Electrical connections and operation verification must be done
prior to installing finishing materials on the fireplace face.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
The gas valve is set in place and pre-wired at the factory.
NOTE
: Must be connected to the main power supply.
NOTE
: The junction box is located on the left side of the fireplace
(
Figure 37
).
Wire the Fireplace
1. Route a 3-wire, 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 1 ph unswitched power supply to
the fireplace junction box.
2. Remove the electrical inlet cover plate from the outside of the unit
by removing the plate securing screws.
3. Feed the power supply wires through the strain relief in the cover
plate and into the unit junction box.
4. Connect the black power supply wire to the power outlet red and
black pigtails together. Connect the white power supply wire to the
outlet common terminal
(
Figure 18
)
.
5. Connect the ground supply wire to the pigtail lead attached to the
outlet’s green ground screw
(
Figure 18
)
. Restrain the inlet power
lead per NEC or local codes.
6. After the wiring is complete, replace the cover plate.
