# FC - Fresh Air Inlet over 30 feet?

## This is an article advising best proactive when your air inlet run is over 30 feet for a Focus Fireplace.

We advise 30’ maximum,  (see manual snip below)

![](https://knowlege-base.europeanhome.com/hubfs/image-png-May-31-2022-10-54-50-20-AM.png)

For a gas version there is no risk of smoking or soot.  It should be ok until 40’.  

\*\*If you want to make the installation surer, you can increase the air inlet diameter to 8”\*\*

**This is not an official advice but this is what we know by experience.**
