1. fIrebox aSSembly
The Firebox Assembly consists of three Firebox Sections. During
installation, these Firebox Sections are stacked to form a traditional
looking masonry rebox. The entire Firebox Assembly weighs less than
600 pounds and two people can lift each section. Special structural
support is not required because of its minimal weight.
2. ChImney SyStem
The function of the Chimney System is to evacuate smoke from the Firebox
Assembly to the outside. The Chimney System consists of two main
elements, the Chimney Chase and the Double Wall Chimney Pipe. The
Chimney Chase is the passage that conceals the Double Wall Chimney
Pipe. It is important that the Double Wall Chimney Pipe maintain a space
at least 2” from any combustible material.

3. aIr IntaKe SyStem
The major component of the Air Intake System is the Wall
Vent. It looks much like a common dryer vent, only larger.
The Air Intake System delivers outside air to support
three important functions.
The Air Intake System delivers cool outside air to the
1.
outer chamber of the Double Wall Chimney Pipe to
cool the outer wall and reduce re hazard.
The Air Intake System provides cool air to circulate
2.
and cool the space around the Firebox Assembly
behind the Face Frame.
The Wall Vent also supplies outside air to the
3.
Combustion Air Tube, which is built into the Firebox
Base. The outside air enters the rebox area and
supports combustion instead of using the warm air from
the room, which greatly increases the efciency of the
replace.

4. GaS aSSembly (optIonal)
In addition to wood log burning, the Kiva Fireplace Kit has been tested
and approved for use with an optional natural gas or propane vented
Gas Logs Set or a Log Lighter available from Grand River Supply. If
the intended installation includes one of these gas devices, it will be
necessary to have a gas line brought into the rebox. This gas line can
easily be installed after the Firebox Assembly is in place but
before the Face Frame is xed into place.
The 10’ tall Face Frame is pre-fabricated of ½” tubular steel with ¼” Metal
Diamond Mesh attached. You can customize your installation with optional
Nichos and Bancos available from Grand River Supply. During installation
the Face Frame assembly will be attached to the Firebox . The Face Frame,
available in four styles, is what gives the Kiva Fireplace its unique look.
