VENTING INSTALLATION
OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT
(MODEL AK4/AK4F)
Installation of outside air kit should be per-
formed during rough framing of fireplace due
to the nature of it's location. Outside combus-
tion air is accessed through a vented crawl
space (AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4).
See Figure 24 on page 15 for instruction 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.
