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).
