SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient location for the replace, 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 replace 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. An outside air kit is available with this replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on page 6).

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

Back and sides of replace 3/4" minimum* Floor** 0" minimum Perpendicular wall to opening 12" minimum Top spacers 0" minimum Mantel clearances see Mantels, page 5 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 for

Residential Installation

The minimum height of the chimney, measured from the base of the replace to the ue gas outlet of the termination, is 14.5 feet for straight ue or a ue with one elbow set. The maximum distance between elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow sets, the minimum height is 22 feet. The maximum height of any system is 50 feet. This measurement includes the replace, chimney sections and the height of the termination assembly at the level of the ue gas outlet (see Figure 18, page 11).

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).

www.fmiproducts.com

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for fireplace using the dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2.

2. If replace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible material other than wood ooring, the replace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the 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 the level of the replace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, the ember protector (provided) must be placed between the 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 Ztype ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to t your required platform height. The ember protector should extend under replace a minimum of 1 1/2". The 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 16).

HEARTH EXTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 16" in front of and a minimum of 8" beyond each side of the replace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the 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 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 the manufacturer or supplier of the noncombustible material. If the 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 the hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between the replace frame and hearth extension with a noncombustible material (see Figure 3).

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 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. Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined, 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 Figure 9, page 8).

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 and Figure 7).

2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow. Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 8, details A and B on page 8).

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 7).

4. All pipe connections between offset and return must be secured with two screws on outer pipe only (see Figure 9, page 8). Do not penetrate inner stainless.

FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1)

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 10.

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 11.

Figure 11 - Firestop Spacer with Attic

Space Above Ceiling

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 1" 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 the distance the roof drops over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the roof drops 6" for each 12" one measure horizontally down from the roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 12, page

9) to determine the correct opening length and ashing required.

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

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

The following tips should be followed to assure that both the replace and the glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the ue damper and the glass doors must be fully opened before starting the re. This will provide sufcient combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in the 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 equi pped 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 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 is the glass is still hot from the 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 for unvented room heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2 are to be installed in this replace.

OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER HANDLE OPERATION

The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, is located in the upper front face of the replace. Pushing the handle into the left of the keyway slot will free the damper blade to automatically open. Pushing the handle in to the right will lock the damper blade closed (see Figure 22).

The outside air kit handle is located at the left hand side of the replace (see Figure 22). Pulling the handle out will free the outside air door to open. Pushing the handle in will lock the door closed.

WARNING: Risk of re! Replace grate with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC model 111028-01 only. This grate has been designed to keep

the operation of your replace safe and efcient.
