Fresh Air Intake - Osburn 2500 Manuel D'installation

FRESH AIR INTAKE

It is recommended, sometimes even mandatory according to local authorities, to install a fresh air
intake in or near the room where the stove is installed.
The air intake must not draw air from the attic, from the basement, from a garage or any enclosed
space. Air must be drawn from a ventilated crawl space under the floor or directly from outside.
Air coming from a ventilated space
THE INLET TO THE INTAKE MUST BE BELOW AND A MINIMUM OF 12" (30CM)
AWAY FROM THE UNIT EXHAUST OUTLET.
When the fresh air intake is installed on an outside wall, it is preferable to choose one that is not
exposed to the prevailing winds since the pressure can vary in windy weather. Choose a location
suited to the conditions surrounding the house.
At all times, make sure the outside air register is not obstructed by snow, ice or other objects.
Installation
The installation configuration and length of the insulated pipe should be done in a way to prevent
condensation (see figure below).
