FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 4 and 5).
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 8).

FRAMING
1. Frame opening for replace using dimensions shown in Figures 4 and 5.
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 the replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector (provided) must
be placed between hearth extension (not
supplied) 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 supplied) 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.
WARNING: Do not pack re-
quired air spaces with insulation
or other materials.
Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for
Residential Installation
Minimum height of chimney, measured from
base of replace to ue gas outlet of termination, is 16 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 the
ue gas outlet (see Figure 15, page 11).

HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of
20" in front of and a minimum of 12" 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
specications: 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 the 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 6).
WARNING: Hearth extension
is to be installed only as shown
in Figure 6.
MANTELS
A mantel may be installed if desired (see Figure
7). Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels or
any other combustible material projecting from
front face must not be placed within 12" (36"
Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) of replace
opening. Combustible materials above 12" (36"
Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) and projecting
more than 1 1/2" from replace must not be
placed less than 15" (36" Models) or 21" (42/50"
Models) from the top opening of the replace
(NFPA STD 211, Sec. 7-3.3.3).
Mantels or any other combustible material
also may come up to side edge of black metal
face of replace as long as projections from
front face fall within limit shown in Figure 7.

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. The pipe sections must
be assembled independently as the chimney is
installed. When connecting chimney directly to
the replace, the inner ue pipe section must
be installed rst with the lanced side up. The
outer pipe section can then be installed over
5 the ue pipe section with the hemmed end
up. Press down on each pipe section until the
lances securely engage the hem on the replace
starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing
between the inner and outer pipe sections.

Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a oor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
the required clearance between the chimney
and the combustible materials. When the pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living
space above, the restop must be placed onto
the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 13.
They also provide complete separation from
one oor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When the double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an
attic space, the restop must be placed into an
attic oor as shown in Figure 14.

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" (36" Models) or 2" (42/50"
Models) clearance to the pipe on a roof with
a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe
will penetrate roof.
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is
distance the roof drops over a given span,
usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that roof
drops 6" for each 12" measured horizontally down from roof rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 15, page
11) to determine correct opening length
and ashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening measured. Cut out this section.

1. Install bottom brick panel. Using at least two people, hold bottom brick panel
by its side edges. Place the back edge of bottom panel into the rebox rst and
carefully lower the front edge of panel. Make sure bottom panel is centered
in the rebox and ush with the front of the replace. Be careful not to pinch
your ngers between the panel and rebox.
2. Position "Z" shape retaining brackets on top of the notched area toward the
rear of the bottom brick panel. Grate retaining bracket should be positioned
as shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21 - Installing Grate Retainers
3. Install rear brick panel. This panel has a top and bottom side. To determine correct position, match up the pattern on the rear panel with the right and left brick
panels before installing. Make sure rear panel is centered before continuing.
4. Install the right and left brick panels with the gas line knock outs placed down
toward the bottom refractory. Align the right an left brick panels with the rear
panel so the grout lines line up.
5. Install upper corner brackets and tighten set screws (see Figure 22).
6. Install grate by placing rear legs into slots in the grate retainer (see Figure 22).
Material provided:
Bag of cement
Bag of sand
Material required:
Piping bag
Joints striker
Heavy duty mixing bucket
Sponge or Wet Cloth
1. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge
or spray bottle just prior to application.
When bricks are wet, any excess grout
mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.
2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, add equal
parts cement and sand. Add enough
water and mix together well using a
power drill with mixing wand attachment
to a yogurt like consistency. Not adding
enough water can lead to grout falling out
after burning.
3. The overall length of piping bag should be
about 16". If the bag is longer than 16",
cut it down to size by removing end with
larger opening. This will make the bag
easier to handle.
4. Put grout mixture into piping bag making
sure the smaller opening is downward and
over a moist towel to avoid spilling. Place
a wet towel over the bucket making sure it
is directly on the surface of grout mixture.
This will keep the mixture moist and it will
not dry out before use.
5. Grout all joints where two rebrick walls
come together.
6. Using a trowel, remove excess grout
mixture by moving trowel in the direction
of the joint. Grout mixture in the joint
should now be ush with brick surface.
If not enough grout is applied into each
space, grout may fall out after burning.
7. Using a joint striker, smooth out grout line.
Allow 72 hours before
operating replace.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the 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 31,
page 19).
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 the replace can result if
too large a re is built or if combustion air gate
is not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the replace
and glass door retain their beauty and function
properly. Both the ue damper and glass doors
must be fully opened before starting re. This will
provide sufcient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in rebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. The 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 the re well back from the doors
and never allow ames to contact the glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and ame out of
the replace opening creating
risks of both re and smoke.
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 the re
and smoke.
