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

WALL
CHIMNEY
SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists
of
a galvanized
outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer.
The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the
chimney is installed. When starting chimney directly to the
fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first
with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be
installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up.
Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely
engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure
the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.
WARNING:
The opening in the collar around the
chimney at the top
of
the fireplace must not be obstructed.
Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above,
making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are
locked together. When installing double wall "snap lock"
chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between
the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney
upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if
properly locked.
It
is not necessary to add screws to keep the
chimney together (Exception - see page 5 figure 10).

PENETRA
TING
THE
ROOF:
To maintain a I-inch clearance to the pipe on a roof with a
pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
STEP
1: Determine the center point through which the pipe
will penetrate the roof.
STEP
2: Determine the center point
of
the roof. Pitch is the
distance the floor drops over a given span, usually 12 inches.
A 6/12 pitch means that the roof drops 6 inches for each 12
inches one measure horizontally down the roof.
STEP
3: Use the roof-opening chart (figure 13) below to
determine the correct opening length and flashing required.
STEP
4: Remove the shingles around the opening measured
and cut out this section.
STEP 5: Add the next sections
of
the pipe until the end
penetrates the roofline. Check to see that the proper
clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by adding sections
of
double wall pipe until pipe is a minimum
of
30 inches
above the highest point of the roof cutout. Termination and
chimney must extend a minimum
of
36 inches above the
highest point where it passes through roof.

FINISHING
THE
FIREPLACE:
Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum board,
sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc may make direct contact
~ith
sides and top periphery
of
the fireplace fflce.
It
is
Important that combustible materials do not overlap the face
itself. Brick, glass, tile or other non-combustible materials
may overlap the front face provided they do not obstruct
essential openings like louvered slots or any other opening.
When overlapping with a non-combustible facing material use
only non-combustible mortar or adhesive.
MANTELS:
A mantel may be installed if desired (see figure 19).
Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels, or any other
combustible material projecting from the front face must not
be placed within 9 inches
of
the fireplace opening (and within
6 inches
of
the top louver opening). Combustible materials
above 9 inches and projecting more than
1-112
inches from the
fireplace face must not be placed less than 12 inches from the
top
of
the opening
of
the fireplace (NFPA

OPERATING
GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When the fireplace
is in operation, doors must be in the FULLY OPEN or
FULLY CLOSED position only or a fire hazard may be
created (see figure 21).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much
differently than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace
with glass doors has a limited amount
of
air for combustion.
Excessive heat within the fireplace can result if too large a fire
is built or if the combustion air gate is not completely open.
The following tips should be followed to assure that both the
fireplace and the glass door retain their beauty and function
properly. Both flue damper and the glass doors must be fully
open before starting the fire. This will provide sufficient
combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in the firebox.

IMPORT
ANT: The glass must be allowed to wann slowly
and evenly. The tempered glass will withstand a gradual
temperature rise to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more
than a normal fire 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 fire
and should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep the
fire well back from the doors and never allow flames to
contact the glass.
WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors should
be operated only with door fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open, may draw gas and flame
out
of
the fireplace opening creating risks
of
both fire and
smoke.
CLEANING THE GLASS:
Clean
the
glass
with
any
commercial
glass
cleaner
or
soap
and
water.
DO NOT
use
any
abrasive
material to
clean
the
glass.
DO NOT
clean
the
glass
with
any
cool
water
if
the
glass
is still hot
from
the
fire.
OPTIONAL
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
GAS LINE HOOK UP SHOULD BE DONE BY YOUR
SUPPLIER OR A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
NOTE: BEFORE YOU PROCEED, MAKE SURE YOUR
GAS SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF.
A gas line may be installed for the purpose
of
installing a
vented or vent-free gas appliance available through your local
distributor.
.Use only
liz
inch black iron pipe and appropriate
fittings. When installing a gas line, a shut-off valve designed
for installation outside the appliance is recommended.
STEP

refractory, (or firebrick), wall located approximately 2 inches
above the refractory hearth floor. The knockout indentation
must be firmly tapped with any solid object until it is released.
Remove fragmented portions
of
refractory (see figure 22).

The
gas
pipe is intended for connection to an unvented (vent-
free) or a decorative
gas
appliance (vented
gas
log).
CAUTION: All gas piping and connections must be tested
for leaks after the installation is completed. After ensuring
that the gas valve is on, apply a 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.
