OUTSIDE AIR HOOK‐UP
The use of outside combustion air is mandatory on this pellet stove.
The outside air connection pipe protrudes from the lower rear center of the stove; use the
included outside air kit to attach your stove to outside combustion air. Instructions and all
the parts needed to make the outside air connection to your pellet stove are included with
the outside air kit.
If it is not feasible to use the included outside air hookup kit in your stove installation, other
materials may be used, provided the following rules are followed:
o
The pipe used for outside air hookup must be metal, with a minimum thickness of
.0209in. (25 gauge mild steel) or greater and an inside diameter of approximately 2.0
in.
o
All pipe joints and connections should be sealed with pipe clamps or other
mechanical means, to insure a leak free outside air connection.
o
Long runs of pipe and excessive elbows for outside air should be avoided. Due to
frictional resistance in pipe, any excessive outside air piping can result in poor stove
performance.
o
A screen or other protection device must be fitted over the outside air termination
point to prevent rain, debris and nuisance animals from entering the piping system.
o
Increase the outside air pipe size to 3.0 in. diameter pipe if the outside air
connection is more than 6 ft. in length, more than two (2) elbows are used or if the
stove is installed in a basement.
The outside air connection system should be inspected at least annually to be certain it is
free from blockage.
Caution
NEVER draw outside combustion air from:
Wall, floor or ceiling cavity.
Enclosed space such as an attic, garage or crawl space.
