This kit is tested and safe when installed by this installation manual. It is your responsibility to read all instructions before starting installation and to follow these instructions carefully during installation.
Installation of this kit MUST be performed by a qualified service technician.
The HEAT-OUT kit is carefully engineered and must be installed only as specified. If you modify it or any of its components you will void the warranty, and you may cause a fire hazard. Installation must be done according to applicable local, state, provincial, and/or national codes.
CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-current (In the United States), or with the current CSC22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
Plan the location of the fireplace. If the vent system is going to be a horizontal termination off the top of the fireplace, the HEAT-OUT kit MUST be installed before the fireplace horizontal vent system/termination.
NOTE: The HEAT-OUT kit CANNOT be used if the fireplace is placed in a 45-degree corner installation. The back of the fireplace MUST be positioned against an outside wall.
The bottom of the exterior cap MUST be a MINIMUM of 12 – in. (305 mm) above the finished grade. Plan the location of the fireplace accordingly.

INSTALLATION
Install the Heat-Out kit following instructions in the fireplace Installer’s Guide.
WIRING

Install the wall switch (provided in the kit) at a convenient location. This switch will control the HEAT-OUT fan. A variable speed type switch must NOT be used.
Wire 110 VAC service TO the wall switch and FROM the wall switch to the fan junction box. Use wire nuts to secure the 110VAC service wires to the hot and neutral fan wires and screw the 110VAC ground wire to the junction box. See Wiring Diagram – Figure 1.
Screw the fan junction box to the fan housing. See Figure 1.

FINISHING

Carefully slide the fireplace against the wall with the rear collar passing through the interior firestop.
From outside the building, slide the fan/exterior wall firestop assembly into the rear collar and securely attach it to the exterior wall.
Hang the damper plate into the slot of the exterior firestop and check that it freely opens and closes. See Figure 2.
Align and screw the exterior cap to the exterior firestop. Run a bead of silicone sealant along the joint at the top of the cap where it meets the firestop. See Figure 3.
Complete the fireplace installation per instructions. For an example of the flue vent termination cap located directly above the HEAT-OUT cap, see Figure 4. In some cases, the exterior firestops may overlap.
