Locate air inlet cover plate on replace's outer surround and
remove it. Cut-out any visible insulation that may obstruct air
ow. Air inlet tube may be installed in two positions (Figure 2)
(AK4E only). Insert inner tab of inlet tube into the mating slot
next to the opening (Figure 1). Place outer tab of inlet tube
over mating hole next to the opening and secure with a screw
previously removed from cover plate. Seal any remaining gaps
around inlet tube with hi-temp duct tape or noncombustible
sealant (Figure 3 or 4).
Construct a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" framing or opening on exterior wall
(see Figure 3 or 4). Install the outside air vent termination in
a location that would not eventually be obstructed by bushes,
snow, or other obstructions.
Also, locate the vent near the replace to make ex duct instal-
lation easier. The ex duct supplied measures approximately
10" compressed and up to approximately 3 feet extended
(Figures 3 or 4).

CAUTION: AIR INLET DUCTS ARE NOT TO
TERMINATE IN ATTIC SPACE.
DO NOT INSTALL VENT TERMINATION IN A LOCATION
THAT WOULD DRAW AIR FROM GARAGE OR ATTIC
SPACES.
The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed 3
feet below the ue gas outlet of the termination.
Be very careful not to distort ex duct when extending and
watch for sharpness at the edges (use gloves). Slip ex duct
onto inlet collar and vent collar. Clean ex duct surface of oil
and dirt at the ends and secure ex duct to collars with hi-temp
duct tape to provide a good seal.
SECURE AND SEAL DUCT TO COLLARS WITH HI-TEMP
DUCT TAPE (BOTH ENDS). REMOVE OIL AT ENDS OF
DUCT TO INSURE PROPER ADHESION OF DUCT TAPE
