VENTING INSTALLATION
OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODEL AK4/AK4F)
The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during
the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it's location.
Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space
(AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4).See page 21 for instructions of
operating air kit.
CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not
terminate in attic space.
The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed
3 feet below the flue gas outlet of the termination.

CHIMNEY PIPE
WARNING: Label part number 900599-01 must
be applied by the installer to all chimney pipe
sections but is not required on sections that will
be visible after the installation is complete. Label
must wrap around the circumference of the pipe.
See accessories, page 29 for Kit F2659.
The IHP chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-
lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability
to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting
overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given
in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 11). Lineal Gain is the actual mea-
surable length of a part after two or more parts are connected. For
Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT".
WARNING: The opening in the collar around the
chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be ob-
structed. Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney
enclosure.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY
SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe, a
stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must
be assembled independently as the chimney is installed. When connect-
ing chimney directly to the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be
installed first with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then
be installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up. Press
down on each pipe section until the lances securely engage the hem on
the fireplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between the
inner and outer pipe sections.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making
sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked together.
When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is impor-
tant to assure the joint between the chimney sections is locked. Check
by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come
apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the
chimney together (exception, see Figure 12, page 11).
The height of a vertical chimney pipe supported
ONLY
by the fire-
place, must not exceed 20 feet. Chimney heights above 20 feet must
be supported.
