Refer to Section 10.B for mantel and wall
projection information.
Consider the mantel or cabinet system to be
installed and comply with the necessary
requirements for elevated hearth. Refer to
instructions included with cabinet system.
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
NOTICE: When installing a sprinkler head in a replace
chase, it is recommended to use a sprinkler head with a
sprinkler activation temperature classied as Extra High.
Keep sprinkler head away from vent and chimney.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be
used) to achieve maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling restops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300 ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas
line holes and other openings should be caulked with
caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating
or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the
room.
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
