Please read and understand these instructions before beginning
installation.
Do not alter or modify the fireplace or its components under any
circumstances. Any modification or alteration of the fireplace
system — including but not limited to the fireplace, chimney
components, and accessories—may void the warranty, listings,
and approvals of this system and could result in an unsafe and
potentially dangerous installation.
IMPORTANT! TO ENSURE PROPER ALIGNMENT OF GLASS DOORS:
INSTALL THIS FIREPLACE IN A SQUARE AND PLUMB CONDITION,
USING SHIMS AS NECESSARY AT SIDES AND/OR BOTTOM.
these installation instructions carefully to be
sure you understand them completely and in
entirety. Failure to follow them could cause a
fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury
and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes. The
installation must comply with all local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
3. The Estate™ Series 36" and 42" models
may be installed with Security Chimneys™
FTF10 [10" (250mm) inside diameter] chimney
systems. The Estate Series 50" model may
only be installed with Security Chimneys™
FTF13 [13" (330mm) inside diameter] chimney
system. These systems are intended for use
in any application where a traditional masonry
type fireplace would apply. The chimney system
must always vent to the outside of the building.
4. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the build-up of soot and creosote, inspect
and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to
use and periodically during the heating season.
5. Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use chemical
chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your
fireplace.
Never burn treated construction lumber or
scraps. These woods burn excessively hot and
may contain chemicals used to treat insects
and fungus. When burned, these chemicals
can pose a significant hazard.
6. DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
7. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this
replace. Keep any ammable liquids at safe
distance from the fireplace.
8. NEVER leave children unattended when there
is a fire burning in the fireplace.
9. Always keep flue damper open when heat is
present in the fireplace.
10. Before servicing, allow the replace to cool.
Always shut off any electricity or gas to the
fireplace while working on it. This will prevent
any possible electrical shock or burns.
11. This fireplace is not intended to heat an
entire home or be used as a primary heat source.
It is designed to ensure homeowner comfort
by providing supplemental heat to the room.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
12. Always ensure that an adequate supply of
replacement combustion air from the outside
of the house is accessible to the fire to support
normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large
volumes of air during the normal combustion
process.
If the home is tightly sealed with modern energy
efficient features, the optional combustion air kit
may not provide all the air required to support
combustion. 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 fireplace.
13. DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other
products not specified herein by the manufacturer for use with this fireplace. 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.
14. “Smoke free” operation is not warranteed
nor are we responsible for inadequate system
draft caused by mechanical systems, general
construction conditions, inadequate chimney
heights, adverse wind conditions and/or unusual
environmental factors or conditions beyond
our control.
15. Never, under any circumstances, install a
fireplace, chimney component or any accessories, that has visible or suspected physical
damage as a result of handling or transportation. These items should be inspected by your
distributor or qualified factory representative to
ensure safe condition. When in doubt, consult
your distributor.
16. For additional safety considerations and
complete operating instructions, refer to the
Care and Operation Manual provided with the
fireplace.

INTRODUCTION
General Information
These fireplaces are conventional radiant heat
fireplaces with standard bar grates, optional
outside combustion air kits and optional decorative glass doors.
Note: Illustrations reflect “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
specific installation requirements.
Models EST-36 and EST-42 have been tested
and listed to U.L. 127 standard for U.S. installations and U.L.C. S610 standard for Canadian
installations by Warnock Hersey Inc. (Report
No. J20054576-231). Model EST-50 has been
tested and listed to U.L. 127 standard for U.S.
installations by PFS-US (Report No. 09-185)
for EST-50.
These units are intended for installation in
residential homes and buildings of conventional
construction, not in mobile homes.
These fireplace systems are designed for in-
stallation in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Standard for chimneys, fireplaces
and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211
and in accordance with codes such as the BOCA
Basic/National Codes, the Standard Mechanical Code, Uniform Building Codes and/or the
Canadian National Code.
WARNING
Failure to use manufacturerprovided parts, variations in
techniques and construction
materials, or practices other
than those described in this
manual may create a fire hazard
and void the limited warranty.
When complete, these replace systems consist
of five basic “sub-systems”:
1. Fireplace
2. Chimney and Termination
3. Optional Glass Doors
4. Optional Combustion Air Kit
5. Chimney Collar Enclosure Kit (Canada only)
CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace may be placed on or near normal
construction materials.* The combustion air kit,
firestop spacer and roof flashings (not chase
flashings) may be placed directly on or against
normal construction materials.* The chimney
requires a minimum 2" (51 mm) air space to
combustibles. A combustible mantel may be
installed a minimum of 12" (305 mm) above
the opening of the replace as per NFPA 211,
“Mantel/Trim Clearances” Section. In Canada the
minimum is 24" (610 mm) above the opening.
The fireplace and chimney system must be
enclosed when installed in or passing through
a living area where combustibles or people may
come in contact with it. This is important to
prevent possible personal injury or fire hazard.
For questions, please call your distributor or
the manufacturer. Special restrictions apply to
the front and facing of the fireplace and nearby
walls (see pages 20 and 21).

Chase Enclosure
A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed to surround the fireplace and chimney. Refer
to Figure 2 for a typical chase configuration. 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 floor
beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom.
Chase insulation in a cold climate installation
is not required for safety.

barriers, if used, must first be
covered with gypsum board,
plywood, particle board or other
material to assure insulation and
vapor barriers remain in place.
WARNING
Do not pack or fill required
air spaces with insulation or
other material. No material is
allowed in these areas.
Note: Local codes may not require firestopping
at the ceiling levels for outside chase installations; however, it is recommended for safety
and the reduction of heat loss.

Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust
fans and/or return air registers for forced air
furnaces/air conditioners that could cause a
smoking fireplace condition if the house is
tightly insulated.
When locating the replace, consideration must
be given to combustibles and final finishing.
See Figure 5 and confine the final location of
combustible finish materials to the “Safe Zone.”
NOTE: Do NOT permanently place furniture or
other items such as decorative pillows within
60" of the fireplace front face.
PRE-ASSEMBLY STEPS
EST-50: Install the outer transition assembly
before installing the fireplace. See “Installating
the EST-50 Outer Transition Assembly” (next page).
EST-36 and EST-42: See Figure 6, below.
Remove all items packed under the grate and
set aside for later installation. Cut the two wire ties securing the grate, and discard the ties.
Remove the grate, and set aside for later installation. Using a 1/4" nut driver, remove the two
tie brackets from the rebox oor, and discard the tie brackets.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of
an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It
may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood,
particle board or other hard surfaces.
Be sure replace rests on a solid continuous
floor or platform with appropriate framing for
support and so that no cold air can enter the
room from under the fireplace.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the
framing built around it, or the framing may be
constructed and the fireplace positioned into
the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for
the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace
system including chimney and surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed.
Shipping weights for the fireplace may be found
on page 23.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor space
to be occupied by the system, surrounds and
hearth extensions.
3. Note the 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 floor boards.
4. Use this information and consult your local
building code to determine if you need additional support.
Cut the wire ties holding the grate to
the firebox floor, and remove the grate.
Use a 1/4" nut driver to remove the
screws from the tie brackets.
Discard wire ties and tie brackets
after removal.

CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE HEAT-CIRCULATING AIR INLET AND OUTLET PORTS
ON CIRCULATING MODELS. DOING SO MAY
RESULT IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth
extension, build the platform assembly, then
position replace and hearth extension on
top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent
possible shifting.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the
Estate fireplace is as follows; sides and back –
1" (25.4 mm), combustible floor – 0" (0 mm),
adjacent wall 18" (457 mm), adjacent shielded
wall (K factor of .84 or less 24" W x 36" H) 12"
(305 mm), ceiling – 37-1/2" (953 mm).
Note: Clearance at the nailing flange for both
fireplace models is 0" (0mm).
Note: Adjacent wall considerations are for
an adjacent wall on only a single side. Walls
should not be placed at minimum distance at
both sides of the fireplace.
ASSEMBLY STEPS
Note: The following steps represent the normal
sequence of installation. Each installation is
unique, however, and may require a different
sequence.
1. Position rebox prior to framing or into
prepared framing.
2. Install Cold Climate Kit (Canada only).
3. Install the chimney system.
4. Install optional outside combustion air kit.
5. Plumb gas line if a decorative gas appliance
will be used. (Gas connections should only be
performed by an experienced, licensed/certied
tradesman.)
6. Complete the installation; finish wall mate-
rial, surround and hearth extension to your
individual taste.
7. Assemble and attach optional glass door
assembly.
See Figure 1 on page 3 for a general idea of
each element of the fireplace system.
