Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the fi replace in
one of
two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-
B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment before proceeding.
NOTE: OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR IS REQUIRED FOR
MOBILE HOMES.
1. Outside combustion air supply - Outside air may be
drawn from either side of the fi replace.
To draw outside combustion air, connect the cover plate
on the side you do not wish to draw the air from and con-
nect the outside combustion air adapter(FP30.OAIR) to
the side you wish to draw air from. (Both cover plate and
adpater provided) (Fig. #11).
Outside Combustion Air Adapter
The adapter is only required if outside combustion air is
used.
Installation:
Connect the outside air adapter to the side of the unit
closest to the exterior wall in which you will be connecting
the outside air inlet.
Cut or drill a 4"(100mm) diameter hole in the closest
exterior wall. Cover the hole with a 4" x 4" (100 mm x
100 mm), 20GA wire mesh with minimum1/4"(6mm)
X 1/4"(6mm) spacing, rodent screen and staple/nail
in place. Provide water protection as required. Attach
4"(100mm) venting (not supplied) to adapter. Route com-
bustion air away from fi replace. Maximum duct length fo
15'(4.5m)
WARNING: This hole must get its air from the outdoors and
be fi nished with an approved vent cap. The use of outside
combustion air for residential installation requires the unit
to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of
the air duct. Check local building codes for instruction on
sealing the vent cap at the penetration point of the build-
ing. The combustion air inlet ducts can not terminate in
an attic space or garage.
2. Room air supply - The fi replace will always draw air from
the room through the opening beneath the ashshelf and
into the fi rebox intake. You must ensure the room has
adequate replacement air to operate the unit.
CAUTION: The living space around the heater must be well
ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may
cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes
to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold
weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates,
the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up,
partially blocking the fl ue gases. If blockage occurs, fl ue
gases may enter living space.
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #12.
