CWC Series Woodburning Fireplace
87D1504
An outside air kit is installed in all CWC Series Fire-
places. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use of
an air kit, then an AK-MST is required to complete the
installation (from air kit to the outdoors). If the outside
air kit is to be used, the AK-MST be installed
the fireplace is enclosed. Refer to the AK-
MST instructions for field installation. The outside air
control lever is located at the front edge of the left side
brick. To ‘open’, push the control lever down toward
the hearth brick. To ‘close’, pull the control lever up
and over. (Fig. 16)

Outside air operation.
Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar
on top of the fireplace.
Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 17. When you
get a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap
together. Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is
extremely difficult to get them apart.
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap- lock.
Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure to
always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural
framing member. (Fig. 18)
Continue installing the pipe as required until pipe is
installed up through the ceiling. At this point, you must
install a firestop spacer.
A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly
and required for safety.
Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing
members of the ceiling hole. A firestop spacer
is not required at the roof.
Hole sizes listed in Figure 13 for angled firestop spacers
provide minimum required air space to chimney pipe for
ceiling thickness up to 8" (203 mm). When combined
thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and flooring
material exceeds 8" (203 mm), adjustments must be
made in framing to assure that minimum air spaces to
chimney are maintained.
Figure 19 shows different installation procedures for
both an area that is an attic and an area that is not an
attic.
If the area above the ceilingan attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the ceiling side and the
angled portion extending up into the hole.
If the area above the ceiling an attic, position the
firestop spacer with the flange on the top of the framed
