OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION
g. Air inlets traversing cavity walls should
include a continuous duct across the cavity.
The duct should be installed in such a man
ner as not to impair the weather resistance
of the cavity.
h. Joints between air vents and outside walls
should be sealed to prevent ingress of mois
ture.
l. This stove is listed for Mobile home installa
tion provided it is properly connected to an
outside air supply and a listed chimney with
a ceiling support and spark arrester.
This stove may be connected direct to the outside of
the house for its combustion air supply.
Note: It is recommended to use the shortest
possible outside air supply ducts. Supply ducts with
long runs, multi bends and corners may reduce air
volume supply due to excessive drag.
When connecting this stove to an outside air supply
the optional outside air kit must be used, which
includes a spigot, wire mesh, and fixing screws.
a. Fit the cast iron spigot into the air inlet (Part
No. 39).
b. Connect a 4” (100mm) stainless steel, gal
vanised ridge or flexible pipe to the air inlet
spigot.
c. Fit a 4” (100mm) stainless steel or gal-
vanised sweep bend to the outside of the air
supply pipe.
d. Fit the stainless mesh to the downturn of the
bend terminus using the fixing screws sup
plied with the outside air kit.
e. Make sure that all joints are secured using
the fixing screws supplied with the outside
air kit.
f. The outside air terminus must be fitted with
the 1/4” (6mm) x 1/4” (6mm) stainless wire
mesh to prevent leaves and rodents entering
from the out side.
