Fireplace Installation
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 and 2).
2.Consider a location where the fireplace will 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.Anoutsideairkitisavailablewiththisfireplace
(see Optional Outside Air Kit on page 6).

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 16 feet for straight flue or a fluewithoneelbowset.Themaximumdistancebe- tweenelbowsis6feet.Forsystemswithtwoelbow sets,theminimumheightis22feet.Themaximum 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 Figure 15, page 9).
Framing
1.Frame the opening for the fireplace using the dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2.
2.If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible material other than wood floor- ing, the fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
3.Set the fireplace directly in front of this open- ing and slide the unit back until the nailing flanges touch the side framing.
4.Check the level of the fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.
5.Beforesecuringfireplacetopreparedframing, theemberprotector(provided)mustbeplaced between the hearth extension (not supplied) and under the bottom front edge of the fire- placetoprotectagainstglowingembersfalling 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 requiredplatformheight.Theemberprotector should extend under the fireplace a minimum of 1 1/2". The ember protector should be made ofgalvanizedsheetmetal(28gaugeminimum to prevent corrosion.
6.Using screws or nails, secure the fireplace to the framing through flanges located on the sides of the fireplace.

Hearth Extension
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond each side of the fireplace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the fire- place.Fabricateahearthextensionusingamaterial which meets the following specifications: 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 fiber, 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 the manufacturer or supplier of the noncombustible material. If the hearth extension istobecovered,usenoncombustiblematerialsuch as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means to prevent the hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between the fireplace frame and hearth extension with a non- combustible material (see Figure 3).
