FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine safest and most efcient location
for replace, you must take into consideration
the following guidelines:

1. Location must allow for proper clearances
(see Figures 1 and 2).

2. Consider a location where replace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.

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

4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 7).

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES

Back and sides of replace 3/4" minimum*
Floor** 0" minimum
Perpendicular wall to opening 14" minimum
Top spacers 0" minimum
Mantel clearances see Mantels, page 6
Chimney outer pipe surface 1" minimum

* Not required at nailing anges
** See step 2 of Framing

WARNING: Do not pack re­quired air spaces with insulation
or other materials.

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height

Minimum height of chimney, measured from
base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina­tion, is 14.5 feet for straight ue or a ue with
one elbow set. Maximum distance between
elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow
sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum
height of any system is 50 feet. This measure­ment includes replace, chimney sections and
height of termination assembly at level of ue
gas outlet (see Figure 19, page 12).

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for

Outdoor Installation

The minimum height of the chimney, mea­sured from the base of the replace to the
ue gas outlet of the termination, is 7 1/2 feet
(minimum of 4 feet of chimney pipe sections
required for outdoor installation).

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for replace using dimen­sions shown in Figures 1 and 2.

21.875"

41.75"

Figure 1 - Framing Dimensions

Figure 2 - Corner Installation

2. If replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
ooring, replace must be installed upon
a metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of replace.

3. Set replace directly in front of this open­ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.

4. Check level of replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector must be placed
between hearth extension (not included)
and under bottom front edge of replace
to protect against glowing embers falling
through. If replace is to be installed on
a raised platform, a Z-type ember protec­tor (not included) must be fabricated to
t your required platform height. Ember
protector should extend under replace a
minimum of 1 1/2". Ember protector should
be made of galvanized sheet metal (28
gauge minimum) to prevent corrosion.

6. Using screws or nails, secure replace to
framing through anges located on sides
of replace.

DRAIN PAN (DP36)

For outdoor installations, the replace enclo­sure must allow for adequate drainage and
fresh air ventilation. It is recommended that
a sealed, corrosion resistant catch pan with
provision for drainage be installed under the
replace within the replace enclosure (see
Accessories on page 21).

HEARTH EXTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of
16" in front of and a minimum of 8" beyond
each side of replace opening is required to
protect combustible oor construction in front
of replace. Fabricate a hearth extension
using a material which meets the following
specications: a layer of noncombustible,
inorganic material having a thermal conductiv­ity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at 1"
thick. For example, if material selected has
a K factor of 0.25, such as glass ber, the
following formula would apply:

0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required

0.84
Thermal conductivity "K" of materials can be

obtained from manufacturer or supplier of
noncombustible material. If hearth extension
is to be covered, use noncombustible mate­rial such as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal,
glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means
to prevent hearth extension from shifting and
seal gap between replace frame and hearth
extension with a noncombustible material
(see Figure 3).

CHIMNEY PIPE

INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS chimney
system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and
48" snap-lock, double-wall pipe segments,
planned for maximum adaptability to individual
site requirements. Actual lengths gained after
tting overlaps must be taken into consider­ation (lineal gain) and are given in lineal gain
chart (see Figure 7, page 7). Lineal gain is
actual measurable length of a part after two
or more parts are connected. For Canada, use
chimney parts designated "HT".

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Each double wall chimney section consists of
a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel in­ner ue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections
must be assembled independently as chimney
is installed. When connecting chimney directly
to replace, inner ue pipe section must be
installed rst with lanced side up. Outer pipe
section can then be installed over ue pipe
section with hemmed end up. Press down
on each pipe section until lances securely
engage hem on replace starter. The wire
will assure proper spacing between inner and
outer pipe sections.

Note: For Canada, use chimney parts desig­nated HT.

Opening in collar around

Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined, making sure that both inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney to­gether, it is important to assure joint between
chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. Chimney will
not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep chimney to­gether (exception - see Figure 10, page 9).

USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM)

1. To achieve desired offset, you may install
combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48"
length of double wall pipe (see offset chart
on page 9 and Figure 8).

Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, mini-

mum height is 22 feet. Maximum height
for any system is 50 feet.

2. Chimney weight above offset rests on
return elbow. Straps must be securely
nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 9,
details A and B on page 9).

3. Maximum length of pipe between supports
(return elbow or 12S-8DM) is 6' of angle
run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections
per chimney system (see Figure 8).

4. All pipe connections between offset and
return must be secured with two screws
on outer pipe only (see Figure 10, page

9). Do not penetrate inner stainless.

4. Remove shingles around opening mea­sured. Cut out this section.

5. Add next sections of pipe until end
penetrates roof line. Check to see that
proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above highest point where it passes
through roof.

Figure 13 - Roof Opening Measurements

FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-8DM
OR V12F-8DM)

Determine ashing to be used with roof open­ing chart. Slide ashing over pipe until base is
at against roof. Replace as many shingles as
needed to cover exposed area and ashing
base. Secure in position by nailing through
shingles (see Figure 14, page 11). DO NOT
NAIL THROUGH FLASHING CONE.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof

When installing ashing on a metal roof, it
is required that putty tape be used between
ashing and roof. Flashing must be secured
to roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed
with roof coating to prevent leakage through
screw holes. A roof coating must also be ap­plied around perimeter of ashing to provide
a proper seal.

FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1)

Firestop spacers are required at each point
where chimney penetrates a floor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
required clearance between chimney and
combustible materials. When pipe passes
through a framed opening into a living space
above, restop must be placed onto ceiling
from below as shown in Figure 11.

They also provide complete separation from
one oor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into
an attic space, restop must be placed into
an attic oor as shown in Figure 12.

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with
a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.

1. Determine center point where pipe will
penetrate roof.

2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is
the distance the roof drops over a given
span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that
the roof drops 6" for each 12" measure
horizontally down from roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 13) to
determine correct opening length and
ashing required.

When needed, these adjustable terminations
may be used in combination with pipe assem­bly to achieve correct chimney height.

Note: In rare instance there is a problem with
side driven rain or wind or chimney is not
drafting properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft
Shield) can be used with round terminations.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS

Instructions for chase installations are includ­ed with chase style termination chosen. In a
multiple chase installation, be sure to provide
adequate distance between terminations to
prevent smoke spillage from one termination
to another. We suggest that terminations be
separated at least 24", center to center and
stacked at a vertical height difference of 18"
(see Figure 17, page 12).

Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,

contact manufacturer for specications.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with this replace.
When replace is in operation, doors must
be fully opened or fully closed position only
or a re hazard may be created (see Figure
23, page 15).

A replace equipped with glass doors oper­ates much differently than a replace with an
open front. A replace with glass doors has a
limited amount of air for combustion. Exces­sive heat within replace can result if too large
a re is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.

If you install a decorative gas appliance
(vented gas log), decorative gas appliance
must comply with the Standard for Decorative

Gas Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel
Burning Fireplaces, ANS Z21.60 or Z21.84

and shall also be installed in accordance with

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 7223NFPA
54 latest edition.

WARNING: To avoid the risk

of damaging the replace mate­rials and increasing the risk of
spreading a re, do not use the
replace to cook or warm food.

WARNING: If the replace
has been used for wood burn­ing, rebox and chimney must
be cleaned of soot, creosote and
ashes be a qualied chimney

cleaner. Creosote will ignite if

heavily heated.

WARNING: When using a dec-

orative vented gas log, damper
must be removed or permanently
locked in fully open position and
glass doors must be in fully open

position.

The following tips should be used to assure
that both fireplace and glass door retain
their beauty and function properly. Both
ue damper and glass doors must be fully
opened before starting a re. This will provide
sufcient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in rebox.

IMPORTANT: Glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. Tempered glass
will withstand a gradual temperature rise to
550° F, which is more than a normal re will
generate. Such materials as pitch/wax laden
logs, very dry mill end lumber and large
amounts of paper or cardboard boxes can
create an excessively hot re and should not
be burned in this replace. Always keep re
back from doors and never allow ames to
contact glass.

CAUTION: All gas piping and

connections must be tested for
leaks after installation is com-

pleted. After ensuring that gas

valve is on, apply soap and water

solution to all connections and

joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks at once.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
FOR LEAK TESTING AND DO
NOT OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE
IF A LEAK IS DETECTED. LEAK
TESTING SHOULD BE DONE
BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSON.

Note: A INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS
hood must be installed when using an unvent­ed gas log set (see Accessories on page 21).

WARNING: Do not operate

an unvented gas log set in this

replace with chimney removed.

been designed to keep the op­eration of your replace safe
and efcient.

For further operating guidelines, instruc­tions and warranty information, please re­fer to your homeowner's guide or contact
your authorized dealer.

Cleaning Glass

Clean glass with any commercial glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any
abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean
glass with any cool water if glass is still hot
from re and smoke.

A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed
for the purpose of installing a vented or vent­free decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and complying with
the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances

for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft
requirements for Gas Fired Log Lighters for
Wood Burning Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated

August, 1993.
If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free)

gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which
have been found to comply with the standard

125574-04

PUREFIRE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

This replace is equipped with a PureFire
Emission Control System. The Catalytic
Hood system reduces particulates emissions
in a wood burning replace to meet the EPA
Wood-Burning Fireplace Program Phase 2
emission level.

The EPA qualifying label, shown below, will be
afxed to the catalyst. Before lighting the rst
re, remove and maintain this label in a safe
place if needed for permits or building inspec­tion. Prior to beginning installation, contact
your local building ofcial to determine the
need to obtain a permit. For proper operation,
catalyst must be replace every 3 to 5 years.

FUELING GUIDELINES

The replace grate must always be secured to
the retaining brackets provided. The position
of the grate must be centered against the back
wall of the rebox.

Burn only dry, seasoned (cured) wood with
less than 20% moisture. Avoid the use of
treated, painted and laminated wood. Never
burn garbage or other foreign materials. Do
not use articial logs, colored newspaper or
petroleum based re starters. Avoid wood with
high salt content. All of these materials may
contain compounds which can shorten the
life of the catalyst. Wet or unseasoned wood
may lower catalytic temperatures and result
in inefcient operation.

The catalyst is designed to function at opti­mum efciency when the replace is burning
clean, dry, cord wood as replace fuel. A
simple visual inspection of the chimney dur­ing the wood burning process will determine
catalyst performance.

The fuel load should always be placed on
the back of the grate. Use clean dry wood,
seasoned cord wood is the best choice.
Never burn trash, plastics, gasoline, rubber,
industrial solvents, ammable liquids, naptha,
household garbage, material treated with
petroleum products, leaves, paper products,
cardboard or salt driftwood.

Refer to your INNOVATIVE HEARTH PROD­UCTS Homeowner's Guide included with your

replace for proper re building technique and
ash removal procedures. These fueling guide­lines must be followed in order to achieve
maximum emissions performance from the
PureFire System.

OPERATION

The proper use of a wood burning replace
equipped with the catalyst will signicantly
reduce the emissions that it produces. Simple
fuel considerations with regard to moisture
content, size, and quality of fuel will help
control the production of wood smoke and
improve the performance of the catalyst and
replace efciency. With proper care, the
catalyst will provide years of fuel savings
and lowered emissions. By following some
simple guidelines, you will ensure maximum
performance and longevity.

PUREFIRE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Continued

The smoke that is usually seen coming out
of a chimney is essentially a combination of
unburned fuel (carbon and hydrogen) and
moisture in the form of water vapor. The cata­lyst is a technology that provides secondary
combustion for the wood burning process.

MAINTENANCE

The PureFire System is a maintenance free
technology. Do not attempt to remove or clean
the combustor. The direct ame from the re
will clean the combustor. Only a certified
technician should remove the unit. To ensure
proper replace operation, the PureFire Sys­tem should be replaced every 3 to 5 years
(see Parts on page 19).

NOTE: Chimney smoke may be visible during
the rst 8 to 10 minutes of replace operation
when the re is rst getting started and the
nal 8 to 10 minutes of operation while the re
is dissipating. Under normal operating condi­tions, you should see little or no smoke coming
out of the chimney. If continuous smoke is
visible, make sure only dry seasoned wood
is being burned. If visible smoke continues,
the combustor has ceased to function or
there is thermal crumbling. Call INNOVATIVE
HEARTH PRODUCTS at 1-800-655-2008 for
replacement parts.

workmanship at the time of manufacture. The Product body, firebox and ceramic glass carry the 20 Year Limited Warranty. Ceramic glass carries the 20 Year Limited War­ranty against thermal breakage only. After installation, if covered components manufactured by IHP are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the 20
Year Limited Warranty period and while the Product remains at the site of the original installation, IHP will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. If repair
or replacement is not commercially practical, IHP will, at its option, refund the purchase price or wholesale price of the IHP product, whichever is applicable. IHP will also

unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or performance. (The Product must be subject to normal use with approved fuels listed in the Operation
Manual provided with the product. This includes burning such fireplace fuels as wood and natural or propane gas. Fuel products with abnormal burning characteristics,

Coverage of this 20 Year Limited Warranty is conditional upon use of an adequate fuel grate on factory-built fireplaces only, when applicable.

IHP is not responsible for inadequate fireplace system draft caused by air conditioning and heating systems, mechanical ventilation systems, or general construction condi­tions which may generate negative air pressure in the room in which the appliance is installed. Additionally IHP assumes no responsibility for smoking conditions caused by
inadequate chimney height, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse wind conditions or unusual environmental factors and conditions. Certain IHP Products are listed for use with
Security Chimneys International, Ltd. or IHP chimney systems only. Use of chimney components other than that specified in the Product manual will void the Product warranty.

This 20 Year Limited Warranty covers only parts and labor as provided herein. In no case shall IHP be responsible for materials, components or construction which are
not manufactured or supplied by IHP or for the labor necessary to install, repair or remove such materials, components or construction. Additional utility bills incurred due
