to ensure homeowner comfort by providing supplemental heat to its immediate area.

11. Keep screens closed after feeding ﬁ re to

keep embers from ﬂ ying out ot ﬁ replace.

12.INDOOR INSTALLATIONS:

• Always ensure that an adequate supply of replacement combustion air from the outside of the house is accessible to the ﬁ re to support normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large volumes of air during the normal combustion process.

• In the event the home is tightly sealed with modern energy efﬁ cient features, the optional outside air kit may not provide all the air required to support combustion.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

• The manufacturer is not responsible for any

smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the ﬁ replace.

• An Outside Air Cover (provided) or an Out- side Air Kit Gate, model OAKG-OD (optional) must be installed to prevent signiﬁ cant cold air inﬁ ltration.

13. Always ensure that the air inlet to the ﬁ replace is free from debris and any other obstructions that can block the entrance of air.

14. DO NOT use a ﬁ replace insert or any other product not speciﬁ ed by Lennox for use with this ﬁ replace. All gas log sets must

be operated with the damper clamped open, including unlisted “vent free” log sets. Listed “vent-free” log sets may be operated with the damper closed.

15."Smoke free” operation is not warranteed nor are we responsible for inadequate system draft, general construction conditions, inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions and/or unusual environmental factors or conditions beyond our control.

16.Never, under any circumstances, install a ﬁ replace, chimney component or any accessories, that has visible or suspected physical damage as a result of handling or transportation.

PRECAUTIONS

The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory-built ﬁ replaces are clearances to combustible materials, proper assembly of component parts, height of the chimney system, the proper use of accessories supplied by the manufacturer and the techniques employed in using ﬁ nishing materials applied to the wall surrounding the ﬁ replace, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each of these topics will be covered in thorough detail throughout this manual. Please give each your special attention as you progress with your installation.

Note: These ﬁ replace systems are not difﬁ cult to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a qualiﬁ ed or certiﬁ ed “tradesman” familiar with commonly accepted ﬁ replace installation and safety techniques as well as prevailing local codes.

INTRODUCTION General Information

These ﬁ replaces are traditional radiant heat ﬁ replaces with standard bar grates, optional Outside Air Kits (required for outdoor installations) and optional Operable Bi-Fold Stainless Outdoor Glass Doors and Weather Cover.

These appliances are approved for installation indoors or outdoors.

Indoors: These appliances are approved for installation in residential homes and other buildings of conventional construction including commercial, not in manufactured homes(see Figure 5).

Outdoors: These appliances are approved for installion against an outside wall of a house, or as a freestanding ﬁ replace on the porch, patio, or located in the yard (see Figure 6). The Outdoor Fireplace must be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the outside of the ﬁ replace. Build an outside enclosure out of standard building materials, being careful to maintain the minimum air clearances speciﬁ ed in these Installation Instructions. When installing the ﬁ replace as a freestanding unit on your porch, patio or backyard, it must also be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the ﬁ replace. However, the enclosure must now be ﬁ nished on all four (4) sides. The exterior of the enclosure may be ﬁ nished in a textured plywood, a wood clapboard siding, brick, or a cultured stone.

Vinyl siding is not recommended for use on the front of the ﬁ replace due to the heat the unit produces. This can cause the vinyl siding to deteriorate.

Note: Illustrations shown reﬂ ect “typical” installations with nominal dimensions and are for design and framing reference only. Actual installations may vary due to individual design preferences. However, always maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials and do not violate any speciﬁ c installation requirements.

These ﬁ replaces have been tested and listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. (Report No. 116-F-35-2) to U.L. 127 (USA) and U.L.C. S610 (Canada). These units are intended for indoor and outdoor installations as speciﬁ ed in this manual.

For installations in Canada, the chimney clearance to combustibles must be 2 inches and the Cold Climate Kit must be installed.

WARNING

Do not pack or ﬁ ll required air spaces with insulation or other material. No material is allowed in these areas.

AVERTISSEMENT

Ne remplissez pas les espaces libres d’une matière isolante ou de tout autre type de matériel. Aucun matériel n’est permis dans ces espaces vides.

WARNING

If insulation is used, the ﬁ replace must not be placed directly against it. Insulation or vapor barriers, if used, must ﬁ rst be covered with gypsum board, plywood, particle board or other material to assure insulation and vapor barriers remain in place.

AVERTISSEMENT

Si un isolant est utilisé, il ne doit pas venir en contact avec le foyer. L’isolant ou le coupe vapeurs, si utilisée, doit d’abord être couvert d’un panneau de gypse, contreplaqué, panneau de particules ou d’un autre matériel pour s’assurer que l’isolant et le coupe vapeurs demeurent en place.

These ﬁ replace systems are designed for installation in accordance with the National Fire Protection Standard for chimneys, ﬁ replaces and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211latest edition and in accordance with codes such as the BOCA Basic/National Codes, the Standard Mechanical Code and the Uniform Building Codes.

 Notes (Table 2)

• Outdoor ﬁ replace system less than 15 feet height must be a minimum of 10 feet away from a building or combustible structure. The 10 foot rule applies on all cases (see ten foot rule summary on Page 15).

• The system height may be reduced to a single length of FTF8-48 pipe and termination with either the FTF8-CTD or FTF8-CTDT for a minimum height on a complete system of 7' 3." The ﬁ replace must be installed as a Freestanding system and located a minimum of 10' away from any building or structure (refer to Figure 1).

• The minimum height will vary when using other Firecraft or Lennox Terminations.

Chase Enclosure

A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed to surround the ﬁ replace and chimney. Refer to Figure 4 for a typical chase conﬁ guration. As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc. A chase should be constructed and insulated just like any outside wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base of the chase should also be insulated between the solid continuous ﬂ oor beneath the ﬁ replace and the chase bottom. Chase insulation in a cold climate installation is not required for safety.

Note: Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown or ﬁ ll type insulation materials.

Note: Local codes may not require ﬁ restopping at the ceiling levels for outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

ASSEMBLY OUTLINE Before You Start

Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check also for any concealed damage.

Check the operation of the damper. The damper is controlled through the use of a control lever located within the ﬁ rebox opening at the top center in front of the ﬁ rebox lintel (Figure 3). The control lever snaps into place at either extreme of its range of motion. When locked in position all the way to the right, the damper is open. When locked in position all the way to

the left, the damper is closed.

ASSEMBLY STEPS

Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence.

1. Position ﬁ rebox prior to framing or into

prepared framing.

2. (Outdoor Installations) Waterproof the

ﬁ replace. See Waterprooﬁ ng The Fireplace on Page 6.

3. Install the chimney system.

4. Install an outside air cover or an airgate kit, if

ﬁ replace is being installed indoors (optional accessory, see Page 23 for ordering information). The Airgate kit is required on all

INDOOR installations when an outside air kit is installed. The Airgate Kit is NOT approved for use on outdoor installations.

5. Install outside air kit (provided). This kit

is required on ALL outdoor installations (optional for indoor installations).

6. Plumb gas line if a decorative gas appliance

will be used. (Gas connections should only be performed by an experienced, licensed/ certiﬁ ed tradesman).

7. Complete the installation, ﬁ nish wall mate-

rial, surround and hearth extension to your individual taste.

8. Assemble and attach optional glass door

assembly.

Study the illustration of the installation, Figures 1 & 2, to get a general idea of each element of your ﬁ replace system.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

The ﬁ replace may be installed directly on a combustible ﬂ oor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place ﬁ replace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft ﬂ oor coverings. It may, however, be placed on ﬂ at wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure ﬁ replace rests on a solid continuous ﬂ oor or platform with appropriate framing for support (and for indoor installation ensure that no cold air can enter the room from under the ﬁ replace).

The ﬁ replace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the ﬁ replace positioned into the opening.

Usually, no special ﬂ oor support is needed for the ﬁ replace, however, to be certain:

1. Estimate the total weight of the ﬁ replace system including chimney and surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping weight for the ﬁ replace may be found on Page 9 (see Product Reference Information).

2. Measure the square footage of the ﬂ oor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.

3. Note the ﬂ oor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and thickness of ﬂ oor boards.

4. Use this information and consult your local

building code to determine if you need additional support.

If you plan to raise the ﬁ replace and hearth extension, build the platform assembly then position ﬁ replace and hearth extension on top. Secure the platform to the ﬂ oor to prevent possible shifting.

WATERPROOFING THE FIREPLACE

Outdoor Installations

Although the ﬁ replace is designed to drain to the front most of the water from rain and other sources that may enter the hearth area, condensation and unusual conditions may cause water to collect inside the ﬁ replace bottom.

To prevent water collection, the builder must provide a means to drain water from under

the ﬁ replace by building or installing a water collector of the builder's choice before positioning the ﬁ replace on its location.

INDOOR INSTALLATIONS ONLY

Outside Air Cover

If the optional outside air kit is not required in an indoor installlation, you must install the outside air cover to close the opening for the outside air kit (see Figure 8, Photo C).

Feed the loose end of the ﬂ exible duct through the hole cut for the inlet hood and attach to the collar on the inlet hood using two (2) screws. Insert the hood into the opening. Secure in place with nails driven through the holes in hood ﬂ ange. Seal with noncombustible waterproof silicon type caulking. If additional duct is needed, use Class 0 metallic air duct (refer to Figure 16).
