FORCED AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT AC01340
If the fireplace is in a small room, the fan can be used to distribute excess heat in a
determined area of the house. A certain loss of heat is to be expected more the
duct length increase.
Warning
In Canada, the connection of the forced air kit to a furnace duct is prohibited, unless
local building codes allow it. This type of installation is allowed in the USA (UL 391
Standards). However, do not connect any hot air ducts to the cold air return. If
the forced air kit pipe is to be connected to a furnace hot air distribution system, a
backflow shutter (#6, not included) must be installed between the forced air kit fan
and the central system hot air duct. To favor an optimum air distribution, it is
recommended to connect the forced air kit pipe to the furnace duct using an angled
connecter oriented towards the air outlet.
