Pacific Energy NEO 1.2 EU A SERIES Owners Manu - Combustion Air
Installation Instructions
Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or National
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding. The unit must have adequate air
for combustion provided in the room the unit is installed in.
Outside air supply
• (Optional for residential installation.) Outside air supply for the NE12.32 model must be connected underneath the
stove. The outside air supply for the NE12.24 model must be connected from behind the stove.
Attach the intake starter to the bottom of the stove with the screws provided.
To draw outside air through the floor, Cut or drill a 3-1/4"(83mm) diameter hole. Connect intake starter through the
floor with a 3" (102mm) inside diameter non-combustible tubing.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors. (See Figure 11 on
page 20). The use of outside combustion air for residential installation requires the unit to be secured to the struc-
ture to prevent dislodging of the air duct.
To draw outside air from behind the stove, cut or drill a 3-1/4"(83mm) hole through the wall behind the unit. Use an
appropriate household 3" (76mm) inlet. Connect the inlet to the intake starter section under the unit, with non-com-
bustible tubing.
Room air supply
• Remove the cover plate or knockout from the bottom of the intake box. The stove will now draw its air from the room
through this opening and into the firebox intake.
Note: 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 espe-
cially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue
gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
Note: An outside air pipe shield is available to place in front of the pipe used to bring outside air into the unit.
Instructions for installation are provided with the shield. (Part #NE12.7875.34)
This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious
hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the stove to draw air
from the living space and possibly cause suffocation.
