WARNING

HOT SURFACES!

Screen/mesh, glass doors and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down.

Hot screen/mesh and glass doors will cause burns.

• Do not touch screen/mesh or glass doors until cooled

• NEVER allow children to touch screen/mesh or glass doors

• Keep children away

• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as fi replace.

• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.

High temperatures may ignite clothing or other fl ammable materials.

• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other fl ammable materials away.

B. Seasoned Wood

Properly seasoned wood is important for successful opera­tion of your fi replace. Most woodburning fi replace problems
are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.

Seasoned fi rewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air
dried to a moisture content of around 20%.

Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight pounds.
Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the fi replace and try to
burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you
are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.

A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have
almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it was
cut.

Please refer to Section 2.M. for more detail.

C. Starting a Fire

NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke
spillage into the room.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids clear of
the fi replace.

DO NOT:

• store fl ammable materials close to the fi replace

• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fl uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fi re in
this fi replace.

Keep all fl ammable liquids well away from the fi replace while
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.

D. Grate

This fi replace is designed to be used with the grate sup-
plied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will
deteriorate over time and will need occasional replacement.

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

integral grate.

• Keeps logs in place.

• Allows proper air circulation around the fi re.

Use only the factory-supplied

E. Firescreen

The fi rescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it closed
when the fi replace is in use.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!

• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling
out.

• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.

F. Flue Damper

• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.

• Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top
of the fi replace) during operation of the fi replace.

• Before lighting the fi replace, verify fully open position by
looking up from the inside of the fi replace.

WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open

damper prior to operating fi replace. A closed damper
overfi res the fi replace and will cause smoke and fl ames
to spill into the room.

• The fi rst three or four fi res should be of moderate size to
allow the oils and binders to be burned from the fi replace
and molded brick panel, and paint to cure. You may notice
an industrial odor the fi rst few fi res. This is considered
normal.

• Use well-seasoned wood (see Section 2.M.).

• Open the fl ue damper to a fully open position.

• Open outside air.

• Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fi replace
grate.

• Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form
a ‘tent’ on the fi replace grate.

• Pre-warm the fl ue to establish a draft to help reduce smoke
spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece of burning
newspaper under the fl ue damper for a few moments.

• Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.

• Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has
been established.

• Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split
fi rewood, placed to allow combustion air and fl ames
between them.

CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial op­eration may be irritating to sensitive individuals. Open

windows for air circulation.

Heatilator • Birmingham BIR42 • 4059-308 Rev F • 11/08

G. Outside Air

• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of controls.

• Outside air doors should be in the fully opened position
during operation of the fi replace.

• Before lighting the fi replace, turn both handles & pull out
to open. Reverse steps to close and lock.

H. Molded Brick Panel

• The molded brick panel is shipped separately, but required
to contain heat and provide an attractive interior.

• It will deteriorate over time and will need occasional
replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are
normal and do not affect its safety.

• Cracks in the mortar may occur and do not affect the
safety of the unit. If mortar falls out of the joints and metal
is exposed, replace or patch the mortar.

• (See Molded Brick Panel Maintenance, Section 3.C.)

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT burn fi replace without
molded brick panel. Use only molded brick panel supplied
by Hearth & Home Technologies, Inc.

NOTICE: Do not substitute for HHT mortar. Other materials
may stain the molded brick panels.

M. Wood Fuel

Hardwood vs Softwood

Your fi replace performance depends on the quality of the
fi rewood you use.

• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .

• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.

• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.

• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and
are harder to ignite.

• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.

• Start the fi re with soft wood to bring the fi replace up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.

• Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn
time.

Soft woods Hard woods

• Douglas Fir • Oak

• Pine • Maple

• Spruce • Apple

• Cedar • Birch

• Poplar

• Aspen

• Alder

Seasoned Wood

• Cut logs to size

• Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less

• Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%

- Soft wood - about nine months

- Hard wood - about eighteen months

NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying

conditions.

Storing Wood

Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:

• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.

• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation
underneath.

• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.

• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends of
each peice are exposed to air. More drying occurs through
the cut ends than the sides.

• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorbtion
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.

Moisture

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

• DO NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of
creosote.

The majority of the problems fi replace owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.

• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the
water instead of heating your home, and

• Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating
formation of creosote.

WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:

• in front of the fi replace.

• in space required for loading or ash removal.

Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs

Manufactured fi relogs may be used with this fi replace.
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of
UL Classifi ed processed fuel fi relogs. Follow the manufac-
turer’s lighting and safety instructions.

Using fi relogs may require more frequent chimney inspec-
tion and cleaning.

Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use
only fi relogs that have been evaluated for the application in
manufactured fi replaces and refer to fi relog warnings and
caution markings on packaging prior to use.

A. Disposal of Ashes

Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate
By: Homeowner

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers.

• Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fi tting lid.

• The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible
fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending fi nal disposal.

• If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning

Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season or

as recommended by a certifi ed chimney sweep
By: Certifi ed chimney sweep

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely
HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.

Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the rela­tively cool chimney fl ue of a slow-burning fi re. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the fl ue lining. When
ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fi re.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney fi re can permanently
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.

In the event of a chimney fi re, Hearth & Home Technolo-
gies Inc. recommends

• replacement of the chimney, and

• inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of
NFPA Level III inspection criteria

The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year during
the heating season to determine when a creosote buildup
has occurred.

When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.

B. Design and Installation Considerations

D. Negative Pressure

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.

Before installing, determine the following:

• Where the fi replace is to be installed.

• The vent system confi guration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Framing and fi nishing details.

• Whether optional accessories are desired.

C. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fi replaces
successfully. When a fi replace is drafting successfully, all
combustion by-products are exiting the home through the
chimney.

Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of fi replace and chimney

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the fi replace
system caused by:

• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

• Downdrafts

• Tight sealing construction of the structure

• Mechanical exhausting devices

• Improper positioning of the chimney in a not-recommended
location on the roof.

WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire must
draft properly for safe operation.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail­able for the fi replace to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks such as:

- Recessed lighting

- Attic hatch

- Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances
and exhaust equipment

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fi replace

• Avoid installing the fi replace near doors, walkways or small
isolated spaces

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed

• Basement installations should be avoided

NOTICE: The fireplace provides some outside air for
combustion. Other methods may be necessary if more air
is required.

NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the
use of direct vent appliances in basements.

E. Locating your Fireplace & Chimney

Location of the fi replace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance.

• Install within the warm air space enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the fi re.

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
effects of wind loading.

• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.

• Consider the fi replace location relative to fl oor and ceiling
and attic joists.

• Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Section 8 and Section 9.

NOTICE: Locating the fi replace in an area of considerable
air movement can cause intermittent smoke spillage from
fi replace. Do not locate fi replace near

• frequently open doors

• central heat outlets or returns

DO NOT install in a basement.

Location NOT recommended:

• Not the highest point of the roof

• Wind loading possible

Windward

Recommended Location:

• Above peak

Marginal Location:

Determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation:

• Measure the total vertical height of the fi replace installation
from the base of the fi replace assembly to the approximate
location of the bottom of the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the fi replace assembly (see
Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine the
overall height of the chimney installation.

• Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure

8.2 showing components required (referring to Table 8.1).
Figure 8.1 identifi es those components and where used.

• Install a ceiling fi restop whenever the chimney penetrates
a fl oor/ceiling.

NOTICE: A maximum of one offset and return may be

used.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51 mm)
air space clearance to insulation and other combustible
materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so may
cause overheating and fi re.

B. Using Offsets/Returns

• Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.

• An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause

overheating and fi re.

• Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.

• Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2.

• The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance
needed to complete the offset/return.

• Read across the chart to fi nd the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.

C. Assemble Chimney Sections

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or dam­aged chimney components.

• Use only those components described in this manual.

Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair
safe operation and cause overheating and fi re.

• Support the pipe during construction and check to be sure
inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney section
from the fi replace or at any chimney joint.

• Attach a straight chimney section or an offset to the top
of the fi replace.

• Place inner fl ue to the inside of the chimney section below
it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 8.4.

NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled once

locked together. Plan ahead!

• Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by
pushing downward until the top section meets the stop
bead on the lower section.

• Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged
and will not separate.

• You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than
1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do
NOT penetrate inner fl ue.

Figure 8.4 Assembling Chimney Sections

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws (pro-

vided) to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to
keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so
could cause fi re.

• Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the
screws (provided) through the predrilled holes. Do NOT
penetrate inner fl ue.

• Secure chimney returns with hanger straps (provided);
fasten to studs or joists.

• Vertical straight runs of chimney must be supported every
35 ft (10.7 m).

Heatilator • Birmingham BIR42 • 4059-308 F • 11/08

D. Install Ceiling Firestops

ROOM ABOVE (non-insulated ceiling)

CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Ceiling fi restops must be used
whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/fl oor.

• Chase construction requires ceiling fi restops at each fl oor
or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.

• The ceiling fi restop slows spread of fi re and reduces cold
air infi ltration.

• Install a ceiling fi restop whenever chimney penetrates
ceiling/fl oor.

• Mark and cut an opening in ceiling as shown in
Figure 8.5.

• Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the
ceiling joists.

• Nail the ceiling fi restop to the bottom of the ceiling joists
when there is a room above/

• Use an attic insulation shield if the ceiling is insulated. The
ceiling fi restop may then be attached above or below the
joists. Refer to Figure 8.6 and 8.7.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between

fi restop opening and chimney pipe except where they
enter the attic or leave the warm-air envelope of the
home (use 600° F sealant).

E. Install Attic Insulation Shield

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic in-

sulation shield when there is any possibility of insulation
or other combustible material coming into contact with
the chimney.

Bend inward

90°

Bend remaining tabs
to rest against pipe to
prevent insulation
from falling in.

• DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and

the attic insulation shield.

• Failure to keep insulation and other materials away

from chimney pipe could cause fi re.

• DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield.

Installation of a ceiling fi restop is required

• Refer to Figures 8.6 - 8.8.

• Roll the shield around the chimney (if chimney is already
installed) until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the
three holes on each side match up (large holes on top).

• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a
tube.

• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90°
to maintain chimney air space as shown in Figure 8.6.

• Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling fi restop below.

• Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward
to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the
chimney.

• Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe.

If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow these
guidelines:

• Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to
hold back the insulation can be used.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other

materials that can defl ect under humidity or other envi-
ronmental conditions is not recommended.

• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend above
the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation from spilling
into the cavity.

• The shield should be affi xed to building structure.

• Maintain specifi ed air spaces around chimney.

• Check instructions and local codes for further details.

• Plumb from roof to center of chimney.

• Drive a nail up through roof to mark center of pipe.

• Measure to either side of nail and mark the 17 in. x 17 in.
(432 mm x 432 mm) opening required.

• Measure opening on the horizontal; actual length may be
larger depending on roof pitch.

• Cut out and frame opening.

• Refer to Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for
roof framing details.

G. Complete Installation

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST maintain 2 in.
(51 mm) air space to insulation and other combustible ma­terials around the chimney system. Failure to do so could
cause overheating and fi re.

• Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.

• You may secure straight chimney sections at the joints
with screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm).

H. Install Flashing

• Slip the fl ashing over the chimney.

• Nail the fl ashing to the roof. Keep gaps between fl ashing
plate and roof to a minimum.

NOTICE: Roofi ng shingles must be below the fl ashing

plate on the lower side of a sloped roof and over the
fl ashing plate on the sides and top.

• Caulk the fl ashing plate and roof junction as well as the
vertical seam on the fl ashing. All nail heads must be
caulked with a roofi ng sealant.

Chase Installations

9

A. Construct the Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
fi replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that
run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a
chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build­ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require­ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.

A chase should be constructed in the manner of all outside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The
chase should not break the outside building envelope in
any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling fi restops
at each fl oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear
space to control spread of fi re.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor at the fi rst
level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1.
Vapor and air infi ltration barriers should be installed in the
chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Addi­tionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the
inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an
equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fi berglass
insulation. If the fi replace is being installed on a cement
slab, we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of
plywood or other raised platform be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig­ure 9.2.

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

Note: In cooler climates, all chase walls should be insulated.

control spread of fi re.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between
fi restop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter
the attic or leave the warm-air envelope of the home (use
600° F sealant).

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum
2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other
materials surrounding the chimney system.

• Insulation and other materials must be fi rmly secured to
prevent accidental contact with chimney system.

• Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other
materials and chimney system may cause overheating
and fi re.

F. Install Mortar

Note: We recommend mortar be applied after
facing materials are installed.

Tools Required:

Mortar bag Drill

Trowel 3/32 drill bit (provided)

Mixing bucket Phillips screwdriver

Sponge or spray bottle Joint striker

Drill with mixing attachment (optional)

Bucket of water

The mortar material provided should be suffi cient to com-
plete the installation of the molded brick panels without
considerable waste.

NOTICE: Do not substitute for HHT mortar. Other materials
may stain the molded brick panels.

• Mix approximately 1/3 of the mortar material with 1/2
gallon of water in the mixing bucket. Stir the mixture with
the mixing attachment and drill. The consistency should
allow the material to be squeezed from the mortar bag but
not too runny.

• Fill the mortar bag with the prepared mixture.

• Apply mortar by squeezing the material from the mortar
bag into the joint lines. If fi lling a vertical line, start from
the top and work down. Apply slowly. Mixture should be
fl ush or higher than the panel surface.

• Mix more material as necessary to fi nish the job and then
let the unit set until fi rm, may take two hours or more.

• Thoroughly clean the bag, tools and mixing bucket.

• Use a joint striker and strike the material in the joints. The
excess material should fall off somewhat dry.

• Sweep the loose material off the fl oor of the unit.

• Final cleanup with sponge and water.

• VERY IMPORTANT: Allow the mortar 72 hours to cure
before operating the fi replace.

Mortar should be applied
after finishing material is
installed. Mortar will be
applied between finishing
