The
instaIlation
of
an

highly
recommended.
It
is
very

to
assure
good
fireplace operation
in
homes
which are tightly weath-
ersealed
or
have
ventila
ling
appliances installed.
Determine the
source
for outside air,
which
can
be
installed through
an
outside
wall
(Figure

or into
a
ventilated
crawl
space
(Figure

In
either
case,
a
4-
1/2
diameter
hole
will
be
required for installation of the
air
inlet
assembly.
CAUTION:
Avoid installing the air
inlet where
the
opening
could
be
blocked
by
snow,
bushes,
or
other
obstacles.
The
maximum height
tor
the
outside
air
is
50'
above
the
hearth,
providing
air
inlet is
terminated
a
minimum
of
3
feet below chimney cap
