Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
CAUTION
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 about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
When planning a fi replace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.
• The vent system confi guration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
• Electrical wiring. See Section 7.
• Framing and fi nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall
switch or remote control —are desired. See Section 12.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fi replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fi replace and chimney
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk
Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.
B. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the fi replace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance 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: recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:
• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for 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 due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fi replaces in basements.
Heat & Glo • Multi-Sided Woodburning Fireplace • 34977 Rev T • 11/07

Location of the fi replace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm airspace 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 turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized.
Consider the fi replace location relative to fl oor and ceiling
and attic joists.

E. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fi re-
place 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.
Chases 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 3.5. 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 in-
sulation. 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 3.6.
1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.
2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in
chase.
3. Chase constructed on roof.

F. Chimney Requirements
When planning your fi replace location, the chimney con-
struction and necessary clearances must be considered.
The fi replace system and chimney components have been
tested to provide fl exibility in construction. Vertical distances
are measured from the base of the fi replace as shown in
Figure 5.2.
• Minimum overall straight height 14 (4.27 m)
• Minimum height with offset/return 16.5 ft (5.03 m)
• Maximum height 90 ft (27.43 m)
• Maximum chimney length between an offset
and return
• Maximum distance between chimney
stabilizers
• Double offset/return minimum height 20 ft (6.1 m)
• Maximum unsupported chimney length
between the offset and return
• Maximum unsupported chimney height above
the fi replace
• Maximum unsupported chimney above roof 6 ft (1.83 m)
20 ft (6.1 m)
35 ft (10.67 m)

CAUTION
Sharp Edges
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.
A. Install the Outside Air Kit
This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace system.
See Section 2.
The outside air kit is supplied with this fi replace. Using an
outside air kit is highly recommended to minimize the effects
of negative pressure within the structure. We recommend
you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance
of the outside air kit. Cold air fl ow can be minimized by put-
ting a small dip in the duct creating a cold air trap. This trap
can also help prevent heat build-up and exhausting out the
intake due to the stack effect. The outside air kit inlet should
be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves,
etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct
may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft
(.914 m) height difference must be maintained from the top
of the uppermost chimney section to the outside combustion
air inlet. See Figure 4.2.
See Figure 4.3 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
• Wall, fl oor or ceiling cavity.
• Enclosed space such as an attic or
garage.
• Close proximity to exhaust vents or
chimneys.
Fumes or odor may result.
CAUTION
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow/ice
• Other debris
Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.
The outside air kit is installed on the right side (PIER-40)
or open end (BAY-40) of the fi replace. See Figure 4.4 for
handle location/operation.
Remove the cover plate from the side (PIER-40) or bottom
(BAY-40) of the fi replace assembly where the air kit is to be
installed.

• Prevent contact with sagging, loose
insulation.
• Do NOT install against vapor barriers or
exposed insulation.
• Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

Metal strips 2 in. (51 mm) under the edges
of the fireplace and must extend beyond the

Included with your fi replace you will fi nd two metal
hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in.
(660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide
added protection where the fi replace and the hearth ex-
tension meet.
Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front
edge of the fi replace. The individual pieces must over-
lap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle
of the fi replace to provide continuous coverage of the
fl oor. See Figure 4.5. These metal strips should extend
from the front and sides of the fi replace opening by 2 in.
(51 mm).
Note: When elevating the fi replace above the hearth exten-
sion the front of the elevated platform must be protected with
a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.6.
• Level the Fireplace
Level the fi replace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim
with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as
necessary. Secure the fi replace (using the nailing fl ang-
es located on either side of the fi replace) to the vertical
framing.

are not, continue to shim the fi replace until those diagonals
are equal.
