EXTERNAL COMBUSTION AIR
SOURCE
In conventional designed house, natural ventilation is enough to
operate the wood stove.
In some new energy saving house, natural ventilation is not
enough to good operation of your stove. To avoid reverse
circulation of smoke caused by negative pressure when turning
on some fan such as bathroom fan, cooking fan or a dryer, it is
recommended to install the external combustion air inlet.
Without the external air inlet, open a window slightly in the room
where the appliance is placed in order to avoid the negative
pressure caused by the appliances mentioned above.
A mobile home on a foundation is considered as a conventional
house.
Exterior Air Intake pipe
This appliance is certified for the mobile home installation. An
external air intake is necessary.
We recommend to use a 4 inches (10.7 cm) aluminum flexible
pipe with a dumper outside air inlet equipped with grate.
Other pipe material must be complied with ULC-S110 norms or
UL-181 Class1 norms, equipped with thermal resistant isolation
and must be corrosion resistant.
The stove must be fix to the structure when an exterior air intake
is installed.
Installation of Air Intake Pipe
1) To install the exterior air intake pipe, find the hole under
the stove back and fold the 3 tabs outside the Intake
box. Insert the pipe into the hole and screw the pipe
using the 3 holes in the tabs. Put a generous layer of
high temperature latex caulking onto the joint to ensure
the pipe is sealed.
2) Cut the exterior wall and install Air Inlet kit following the
manufacturer installation instructions. Be sure to seal it
correctly to preserve the vapour barrier of your house.
3) Install a small rigid section inside the house and put a
damper to close the air Inlet. This damper is to reduce
the cold air circulation into the stove when it is not in
service.
4) Plug the flexible air inlet pipe onto the damper section.
5) Put a thermal resistant isolation onto the pipe if the pipe
is not isolated.
To avoid that the cold air d
oesn’t come in the stove, we
recommend to install a valve which closes the pipe near the
outdoor air inlet.
Air Inlet Obstruction
If the stove extinguishes after closing the
door, it’s possible that
the air inlet is obstructed by something.
After a long unused period, insects or animals can build a nest
inside the air inlet.
After a storm in winter, snow can accumulate over the air inlet
and obstruct it.
Before warming season, always inspect air inlet pipe to be sure
nothing is obstructing the outside air inlet.
The air inlet shall prevent material from dropping into the area
beneath the dwelling and also prevent rodents from entering
from outside (a wire mesh having openings not larger than 1/4
by 1/4 inch (6.4 by 6.4 mm) meets the intents of the
requirement).
