HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION
Different hot air ducting systems can be installed
with the BIS
®
Ultima CF fireplace:
- Gravity kit
- Forced air kit
Gravity Kit
The gravity kit is designed for double hot air
outlets and includes: (See
Figures 20 and 21
)
- 2 telescopic lengths 8” I.D.
- 2 90º elbows 8” I.D.
- 2 hot air outlet kits (grill and frames)
- 2 adaptors
See Gravity Kit Accessories on
Page 24
.
The only blower that can be used with the gravity
kit is the UZY6.
The gravity kit must be used with the clean face
kit to allow hot air flow that would normally
come out of the top louver. To do so, follow
the steps below:
a) Install the clean face kit making sure that
the insulation strip is installed inside.
b) The fireplace façade can be covered with
non-combustible material (
Figure 22
).
For safe installation, the gravity kit must meet
the following requirements:
Minimum height* 68” (1,727 mm)
Maximum length
See
Figures 20 and 21
* The height of the louver must be measured
from the base of the BIS Ultima CF fireplace to
the middle point of the louver.
To extend the double outlet system forward of
the BIS Ultima CF fireplace (not flush), it will be
necessary to purchase two adjustable lengths
(7B26ZL2A).
When installing the double outlet system, the
hot air outlets can be installed in the same room
as the fireplace, or one or both of the outlets
can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms.
Installing the ducts at different elevations will
tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher
outlet (
Figure 21
).
