Heat Circulating Fireplace
Installation Instructions
Construction Details
These installation instructions do not attempt to cover all aspects of fireplace construction. It is important to be familiar
with standard masonry fireplace construction. Fire Magic Fireplace Circulators conform to the International Building Code®
(IBC) and the International Residential Code® (IRC). HOWEVER, it is very important to check the local building codes for
any differences in your area.
Fireplace Placement:
The architecture of the room should govern the design of the fireplace. The location and size of the fireplace should be
planned to suit the size and shape of the room. The most common fireplace configuration and dimensions are shown on
page 1. Alternate configuration suggestions are made on pages 3 and 4. Please use this information when placing the
Fire Magic circulator.
The location of the air inlets and outlets of the Fire Magic circulator should also be considered when locating the fireplace
so they will blend in with the design of the fireplace and the decor of the room. Cool air inlets should always be placed
close to the floor, to pull in and heat the colder air near the floor. When a raised hearth is used, the inlets should be placed
in the hearth at floor level. Hot air outlets may be placed at or near ceiling height to preserve the beauty of the masonry.
Long horizontal runs are not recommended for either inlets or outlets.
Footings/Foundation:
The foundation size will vary with the size of Fire Magic circulator, and the placement of air inlets and outlets. Pages 1,
3 and 4 show plan and elevation views of several different configurations. Each set of views includes a chart that shows
the minimum masonry measurements. Use these plans and charts to determine the masonry “footprint” of this particular
installation.
The foundation should extend a minimum 6” beyond the masonry “footprint” on all sides. It should be 12” (or more) in
thickness, depending on local conditions. Check your local building codes. The foundation should be poured concrete or
solid masonry. It is recommended that it be reinforced with steel or mesh.
Gas Line:
A gas log lighter or gas log can be use with a Fire Magic circulator. Any gas line to supply such devices should be run
through the foundation and/or the firebrick layer of the inner hearth. Holes for a gas line should never be drilled through
the metal walls of the unit. Always follow the manufacturers' instructions when installing these devices.
Ash Pit:
An ash pit is an optional feature. Check your local building codes for what is permitted in your area. There are no special
considerations in the construction of an ash pit for a circulating fireplace. The ash pit compartment is formed within the
masonry foundation walls with clean out door for removing ashes near the bottom of the pit on an outside wall, and an ash
dump door in the floor of the inner hearth. An example of an ash pit shown in the section drawing on page 1.
Hearth:
The hearth and hearth extension should be made of concrete or masonry and reinforced to carry their own weight and all
imposed loads. There should be no combustible materials supporting or remaining against the underside of the hearth or
the hearth extension.
The hearth extension should extend a minimum of 20” in front of the fireplace and a minimum of 12” on each side. The
minimum thickness of the hearth extension should be 2”.
The inner hearth dimensions should match the size of the Fire Magic circulator. A layer of firebricks covers the concrete
or masonry base for a minimum thickness of 4”. The firebrick layer should not extend beyond the masonry face of the
fireplace. If including an ash pit, remember to leave space for the ash dump door. (See section drawing; page 1).
