SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efficient location for the fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:

1.The location must allow for proper clearances (see figures 1 & 2).

2.Consider a location where the fireplace would not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.

3.A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier.

4.An outside air kit is available with this fireplace. For more details refer to section on outside air kit installation on page 3.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:

Back and sides of fireplace …………………..3/4” Min. Note: the ¾ “ clearance is not required at the nailing flanges

Ceiling to Top of Opening ……………….. 67-7/8” Min.

Floor* ………………………….…………………0” Min. *See step 2 of “Installing the Fireplace” below

Wall to front of Fireplace ……………………….36” Min.

Perpendicular Wall to Opening of Unit ………...14” Min.

Top Spacers …………………..…………………..0” Min.

Mantel Clearances ……………………………see page 7 “Finishing your Fireplace”

Chimney Outer Pipe Surfaces ……………………1” Min.

WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

MINIMUM/MAXIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT:

The MINIMUM height of the chimney, measured from the base of the fireplace to the flue gas outlet of the termination, is 11.5 feet for straight flue or a flue with one elbow set. The maximum distance between elbows is 2 feet. For systems with 2 elbow sets, the MINIMUM height is 22 feet. The maximum height of any system is 50 feet. This measurement includes the fireplace, chimney sections and the height of the termination assembly at the level of the flue gas outlet (see pg. 6, fig. 16).

FRAMING AND INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE

STEP 1: Frame the opening for the fireplace using the dimensions shown in figure 1 or 2.

STEP 2: If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than ceramic), or any combustible material other than wood flooring; the fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

STEP 3: Set the fireplace directly in front of this opening and slide the unit back until the nailing flanges touch the side framing.

STEP 4: Check the level of the fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.

STEP 5: Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, the ember protector (provided), must be placed between the hearth extension (not supplied), and under the bottom front edge of the fireplace to protect against glowing embers falling through. If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised platform, a Z-type ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required platform height. The ember protector should extend under the fireplace a minimum of 1-½”. The ember protector should be made of galvanized sheet metal (28ga. minimum) to prevent corrosion.

STEP 6: Using screws or nails, secure the fireplace to the framing through flanges located on the sides of the fireplace (see figure 4).

FRAMING DIMENSION

Figure 2 CORNER INSTALLATIONS

HEARTH EXTENSION:

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 16” in front of and a minimum of 8” beyond each side of the fireplace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the fireplace. Fabricate a hearth extension using a material which meets the following specifications: a layer of non-combustible, inorganic material having a thermal conductivity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT. HR. F (or less) at 1” thick. [For example, if the material selected has a K factor of 0.25, such as glass fiber, the following formula would apply. 0.25/0.84 x 1.0” = 0.30 thickness required. Thermal conductivity “K” of materials can be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier of the non-combustible material.] If the hearth extension is to be covered, use non-combustible material such as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone etc. Provide a means to prevent the hearth

extension from shifting and seal the gap between the fireplace frame and hearth extension with a non-combustible material (see figure 3).
