Outside Air (used for combustion)

HINT:

Travis Industries strongly suggests outside air for all residential installations, especially for
those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes.

•

Must not be over 15'
long.

•

Must be made with 1 3/4"
diameter or larger metal
or aluminum duct with a
metal screen attached to
the end to keep out
rodents (P.V.C. or other
combustible materials
may not be used). We
recommend the Travis
Industries Outside Air Kit
(part # 99200136).

•

Must not terminate above
or within 1' of the
chimney termination.

•

Must have a rain cap or
down-turned elbow to
prevent water from
entering.

will not become plugged
by snow or other material.
