only single wall. The Inglenook Fireplace chimney requires double wall Type B vent. The
Inglenook Fireplace has not been tested for a Central forced air kit and should not be used
in such applications.
7. Use only Country Flame approved grills and components as described in the kit and
specifications sections of this manual. Non-approved grills or registers may be too restrictive
and thus create a situation that overheats the fireplace or ceiling.
8. Do not use insulated flexible ducts with the Inglenook Fireplace. Use of these materials can
create a situation that overheats these materials and creates a hazardous situation.
9. Do not use tees or any other components other than the ones specifically listed in this manual.
10. All ducts must extend upwards or horizontally. Never try to route the ducting downward
.
11. The hot air outlet grills must be installed with the louvers pointing downwards in order to
prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT
During operation, the Inglenook Fireplace requires fresh outside air to be drawn into the
combustion chamber while hot exhaust gases are removed via the chimney system. If fresh air is
not available in proper quantity, the Inglenook fire may starve out or pull enough air from inside
the house (if the fireplace doors are open) causing other fuel burning appliances to go out. Any
operating Exhaust fan will also compete for air that may lead to negative pressure in the house.
This can result in smoke entering the house from the fireplace. This situation has become more
likely as modern house construction has improved air tightness. To minimize this problem, the
Inglenook Fireplace requires the installation of an outside air duct system.
The fresh outside air duct system must be installed according to the following requirements, See
Figure 19 for example installations:
1. The fresh outside air duct length should be kept to a minimum length. The maximum
length of the fresh outside air duct is 40 feet with a 5-foot reduction for each elbow
installed.
2. The fresh outside air duct must come from outside the house. This means installation in
the attic, basement or garage is incorrect and will void the warranty as well as create a
hazardous operating condition.
3. The fresh outside air duct intake register should be installed where it will not become
obstructed or blocked by snow or exposed to extreme wind. In addition, remember that
this system is meant to pull fresh air from outside the house. Ensure that it is kept away
from automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters, or other home vents that might contaminate
incoming fresh air to the Inglenook Fireplace.
4. The fresh outside air duct and register may be installed above or below floor level.
