K. Outside Air Kit Installation 

A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion 

to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the 

fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leakage around 

windows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed 

doors and windows, an outside air source is needed. An 

optional Outside Air Kit is avail

able. 

Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)

•  Phillips head screw driver

•  Outside air shield

•  Wire ties

•  Plastic outside air vent

•  Flex / Rigid pipe

•  Silicone sealant

•  Drills and saws necessary for cutting holes through 

the wall or flooring in your home.

1.  Remove all materials from packing box.
2.  Using a #2 Phillips screw driver attach the flex adapter to 

the appliance using 4 screws. Figure 5.12 & 5.13.

3.  Floor & Rear Installation: Cut a 3” (76 mm) hole in outside 

wall or floor to accommodate outside air piping. Use 3” 

(76 mm) aluminum metal flex or rigid piping to directly 

connect outside air to appliance intake. Use the supplied 

termination cap with a rodent screen. Seal between the 

wall (or floor) and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture 

penetration.
