Outside Air Boot Installation
(Part number 99200134)
The outside air boot routes outside air to the stove for combustion. Refer to the section "Outside Air
Requirements" for installation concerns. The directions below detail installation.
1 Install the cover plate following the directions below (use the cover plate that is 6-1/2" wide). The
cover plate prevents combustion air from entering the front of the stove.
The cover plate has a clip which attaches
it underneath the air control.
Remove the two screws on the
cover plate to remove the piece that
fits over the air control rod. Then
replace the piece when the cover
plate is in place.

2 Refer to the illustration below to determine the location and size of the hole penetrating the floor
and hearth. The knock-out (which is pre-removed) is 6-3/8" behind the face of the stove - it is 8"
wide and 4-1/4" deep. Cut the hole prior to locating the stove.
3 Attach gasket to the bottom edge of the lower air boot section (near the screen). Attach gasket
on top of the flanges on the upper air boot section. Slide the two sections together with both
seams facing the rear (do not attach the two sections at this time).
4 Follow the directions below for attaching the upper section of the air boot (with gasket) to the
stove.

Floor (and hearth)
The hole in the floor (and hearth)
must be a minimum 16 square
inches. It should be 1/2” smaller
than the footprint of the air boot in
each dimension to allow for the
gasket to seal.
