The use of outside air for combustion is optional unless required by building codes. It is only neces-
sary to supply outside combustion air to one side of the replace. Use the model AK4 combustion
air kit.
1. Remove the cover plate from the 4" outlet opening location on the left or
right outside of the replace.
2. Place the insulation ring between the AK-4 starting collar and fire-
place wall.
3. Place the starting collar (4") into the hole on the side of replace. Fasten it
in place with the four sheet metal screws provided. Figures 37 and 38
The air starting collar extends through the replace outer wrap. When the air starting collar
is securely attached, it will form a seal against the replace wall.
4. Attach outside duct to starting collar with duct clamp or screws. Figure 39
