I ordered a PE32 and am waiting for it to come in. Actually the dealer has the stove, but had to order the pedestal. Anyways, they’re saying I have to have an OAK per code. My building inspector did not mention that was required. My current stove that he inspected last winter (2021) does not have an OAK and he was happy with the install.
The dealer wants 229$ for the BK OAK. If the Princess is anything like my VC Encore I have now, the OAK would just be a piece of metal duct to the back of the stove and out the wall. Even with the vent cover outside it’s like 30$ in parts.
Can anyone with a Princess, or @BKVP verify what I need for an OAK. Or is the dealer just trying to sell me something else.
If it’s recommended I have one for this stove, and I can build it out of common ducting, I’d like to do that.
