INSTALLATION
Hampton Inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that insure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the safe installation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Hampton Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Please read this entire manual before
you install and use your new wood insert.
Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury or even
death. Install and use only in accordance
with manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require
a permit before installing your insert. Be
aware that local codes and regulations may
override some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company that
you plan to install a fi replace insert.
4) Your fi replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing fi replace damper control
will become inaccessible once you have
installed your Hampton Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open position.
6) Inspect your fi replace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is free from cracks, loose mortar or other
signs of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installing
your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry fi replace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
system servicing another appliance or
an air distribution duct.
CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice. Your Hampton
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
fi replace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Hampton Inserts are designed with a 6"
(152mm) fl ue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fi replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fi replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fi re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fi replaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert fl ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
fi replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the fi replace front.
6) The air fl ow within and around the fi replace
shall not be altered by the installation of the
insert (i.e. no louvers or cooling air or outlet
ports are blocked), unless specifi cally tested
as such for each factory - built fi replace
manufacturer and model line. (Note: using
a louvered face plate (surround) complies
with this requirement).
7) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the fi replace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fi replace for re-assembly
if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed
to install the chimney liner.
8) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel
fi replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall
not be blocked.
9) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney fl ue.
10) Inserts that project in front of the fi replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
11) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label to the inside of the fi rebox of the
fi replace into which the insert is installed.
"WARNING: This fi replace has been converted
for use with a wood insert only and cannot be
used for burning wood or solid fuels unless
all original parts have been replaced, and the
fi replace re-approved by the authority having
jurisdiction."
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certifi ed
for use in factory-built fi replaces, the above
information must be clearly stated in the installation manual and appropriate markings. Final
approval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.
WOOD INSERT
SPECIFICATIONS
Your fi replace opening requires the
following minimum sizes:
Height 21.5"
Width 25"
Depth 17.5"
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES
The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fi replace are listed below.

Side and Top facing is a maximum of 1.5" thick.
Floor protection must be non-combustible, insulative material with an R value of 1.1 or greater.
* Hearth thickness of 0.5" with k value = 0.84",
R value = 0.6 or greater.
Thermal fl oor protection not required if unit is
raised 3.5" min. measured from bottom of stove. At
this point the standard ember fl oor protection will
be required. It will need to be a non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406 mm) to the front
of the unit (in Canada 18" (450 mm) and 8" (200
mm) to the sides.
All fl oor protection must be non-combustible (i.e.,
metals, brick, stone, mineral fi ber boards, etc.) Any
organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used.
The fl oor protection specifi ed includes some form
of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal
resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
** A non-combustible mantel may be installed
at a lower height if the framing is made of
metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
** Max. mantle depth is 10" (254mm)
HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specifi ed fl oor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert specifi cation
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Clearance Diagram for Installations
Minimum Hearth Extension for the front (E) and sides
(G) are measured from the fuel door opening.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specifi ed R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

move it into position.
1) Remove the Door to make the insert easier to handle. To remove
the Door, open fully and lift it up off its hinges.
Refer to the Door Removal section for an important note on installa-
tion.

2) NOTE: For Masonry installation make sure that the fi rebox is level
with the hearth using non-combustible materials and no more than
1/2 to 1 inch of the leveling bolt.
3) Lift the unit up onto the Hearth and slide into the fi replace opening.
Be sure to leave the unit out at least 3 to 4 inches in order to make
the necessary fl ue connections and to install the faceplate.
Be sure to protect your hearth extension during the installation,
ie. with a heavy blanket.
The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504) shown here, may be
used to produce a secure connection between your fl ue connector
and the insert collar. Detailed installation instructions are included
with the kit.

Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the fl ue liner (not supplied) to
the Insert and keep the connection. The brackets are screwed into
the top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and then screwed
into the fl ue liner.
