I have a newly installed Pioneer II and am wondering about air sealing around the outside air intake kit. The installation instructions do not provide any guidance either way that I can tell. However there is a good deal of air infiltration around the pictured 90° offset adapter, as it is just metal on metal. The chimney air kit is sealed with rtv 600° silicone per the instructions, so I find it strange that the outside air wouldn't be sealed in a similar fashion. Thanks for any help!
