[. . . ] A small dip is acceptable for a cold air trap. The outside air kit must be installed on the left hand side of the fireplace. Locate the outside air hood in a clear area, preferably into prevailing wind during the heating season. Install as shown in Figures 7. 3, 7. 4 and 7. 5. The outside air hood must be at least 3 ft (. 91 m) below the top of the uppermost chimney section. DO NOT draw outside combustion air from wall, floor or ceiling cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage. · DO NOT place outside air hood close to exhaust vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn into the room through the fireplace. · Locate outside air inlet to prevent blockage from leaves, snow/ice, or other debris. Blockages could cause combustion air starvation.

Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly (see Figure 8. 2) from the total vertical height to determine the overall height of the chimney installation. Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure 8. 2 showing components required (referring to Table 8. 1). Figure 8. 1 identifies those components and where used. Install a ceiling firestop whenever the chimney penetrates a floor/ceiling. NOTICE: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns may be used. DO NOT connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing another appliance. DO NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system. These actions could cause overheating/fire in the chimney flue, or release of exhaust fumes into the living areas. · · · (10. 67 m) (1. 83 m) WARNING!(51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other combustible materials around the chimney system.
