Timberwolf - 6" X 10" Outside Combustion Air Extension Kit - NZ620-KT

The Timberwolf 6" x 10" Outside Combustion Air Extension Kit with the part number NZ620-KT is an accessory designed for Timberwolf wood-burning fireplace inserts. This kit is used to extend the outside combustion air intake, which is important for improving the efficiency and safety of the fireplace insert. Here's what this kit is used for:

1. **Outside Combustion Air:** Wood-burning fireplace inserts require a source of combustion air to support the burning process. While traditional fireplaces draw air from the room, modern inserts can be equipped with an outside air kit like the NZ620-KT. This allows the insert to draw in air directly from the outside, which has several advantages:

- **Improved Efficiency:** Drawing in cold outside air for combustion can improve the overall efficiency of the fireplace, as it prevents the fireplace from drawing in and heating the already warm indoor air.

- **Enhanced Safety:** By using outside air for combustion, the risk of creating negative pressure inside the home and potentially causing backdrafts, which can lead to the release of harmful gases, is reduced.

2. **Extension Kit:** The NZ620-KT is specifically designed to extend the outside combustion air intake to ensure the fireplace insert can draw in air from a proper location outside of the home. The kit typically includes components like pipes, collars, and adapters to achieve this extension.

Proper installation of the Timberwolf 6" x 10" Outside Combustion Air Extension Kit is essential to ensure that the wood-burning fireplace insert operates safely and efficiently. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and to ensure that all components are compatible with your specific fireplace insert model. Additionally, adhering to local building codes and safety regulations is crucial when installing or modifying combustion air systems for wood-burning appliances.
