About This Item
The Pentair Direct Air Intake Duct Kit (461031) is the OEM replacement direct-duct combustion air assembly for the MasterTemp pool and spa heater series, enabling outside air to be piped directly to the heater's combustion air inlet.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Gas and electrical heater components must be serviced by a licensed pool professional or qualified HVAC technician. Do not attempt to service gas or high-voltage components without proper certification. Improper installation of combustion air components can create serious safety hazards including carbon monoxide risk.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A COMPLETE KIT
Part number 461031 is sold as a complete kit. One kit is required per heater installation. Verify that your installation type requires direct outside air ducting before ordering.
IMPORTANT: MODEL COMPATIBILITY — 125,000 BTU HEATER EXCLUDED
This Direct Air Intake Duct Kit is listed for MasterTemp heater models 175/200/250/300/333/400 BTU only. It is not compatible with the MasterTemp 125 (125,000 BTU) heater. Confirm your heater's BTU rating before ordering.
This kit enables a direct-duct installation configuration for the MasterTemp heater series. When an enclosed or low-ventilation equipment room cannot supply adequate combustion air from the surrounding space, ducting outside air directly to the heater's combustion air inlet is required. The 461031 kit provides the components necessary to make that connection, allowing the burner to draw fresh combustion air from outdoors independently of the equipment room environment.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
Direct-duct combustion air kits are an optional accessory — not every MasterTemp installation requires one. This kit is specifically for enclosed equipment rooms or applications where local codes require combustion air to be sourced from outside the building envelope. Before ordering, confirm that your MasterTemp model number appears in the Fits Into table above, that your heater is rated above 125,000 BTU, and that your installation type requires direct outside air ducting. Consult the MasterTemp installation manual and applicable local codes. Because this kit modifies the heater's combustion air supply path, installation must be completed by a licensed pool professional or qualified HVAC technician.
