The Pentair 461031 MasterTemp Direct Air Intake Duct Kit is an OEM accessory designed for indoor MasterTemp pool heater installations, ensuring the heater receives clean, dedicated combustion air. This kit uses a 3-inch PVC duct that can be installed vertically or horizontally, providing flexibility for compact or crowded equipment rooms. It includes a heater panel cut-out, air orifice adapter, short PVC pipe, union fitting, and a screened termination cap that prevents pests, debris, and contaminants from entering the combustion chamber. By drawing outside air rather than potentially humid or chemical-laden indoor air, this duct kit enhances combustion efficiency, supports code compliance, and contributes to long-term heater reliability.
