NOTE: Mounting brackets are not intended to carry the weight
of the plenum and pipes. Provide support to the underside of
the plenum and ensure the plenum is level and its outlet is not
distorted.
6.
Use metal strapping (all-around, not supplied) as required to
further secure the plenum to framing.
7.
Attach the piping from all (6) plenum take off collars to all (6)
take off collars on the fireplace. If you are mounting the plenum
10' or less above the fireplace, use (1) #KZK-610 kit or UL-181
Class 0 approved air duct. If you are mounting the plenum
between 10' to 20' above the fireplace then you will need (2)
#KZK-610 kits and #KZK-CPL6 or UL-181 Class 0 approved air
duct.
8.
An upward slope must be maintained in horizontal sections of
pipes for proper convection. Support horizontal sections every
24 inches.
