B. Design and Installation Considerations
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, re
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
• Before installing, determine the following:
- Where the replace is to be installed.
- The vent system conguration to be used.
- Gas supply piping.
- Electrical wiring.
- Framing and nishing details.
- Whether optional accessories - devices such as a
fan, wall switch or remote control - are desired.
1. Selecting Fireplace Locations
This replace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the replace in a basement, near frequently
opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other
locations of considerable air movement can affect the
performance.
Consideration should be given to these factors before
deciding on a location.
NOTICE: In addition to these framing dimensions, also
reference the following section:
• Clearances (Section 3).
NOTICE:
• Illustrationsandphotosreecttypicalinstallationsand
are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY.
• Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
• Actual installation/appearance may vary due to individual
design preference.
• Hearth & Home Technologies reserves the right to alter
its products.
NOTICE:
SB60 - A minimum 1 in. air clearance at the back
and a minimum 1 in. air clearance to the sides of
thereplaceassemblymustbemaintained.
SB80 - A minimum 1 1/2 in. air clearance at the
back and a minimum 1 1/2 in. air clearance to the
sidesofthereplaceassemblymustbemaintained
Chimney sections at any level require a 2
in. minimum air space clearance between
the framing and chimney sections.

Figure 2.2 Fireplace Locations
2. Locating Fireplace & Chimney
Location of the replace and chimney will affect performance.
• Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
• Installing the replace in a basement is not recommended.
• 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 replace location relative to oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
• Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Sections 4 and 5.
Multi-level Roofs
Recommended Location:
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
• Above peak
• Inside heated space
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season.
• 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 replace.
• Avoid installing the 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.
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Recommended:
• Insulated exterior chase
Windward
Figure 2.3 Recommended Chimney Locations
Marginal Location:
• Below peak

Not recommended in basement due
to high negative pressure concerns
that effect draft
Marginal Location:
• Wind loading possible
Location NOT recommended:
• Too close to tree
• Below adjacent structure
• Lower roof line
• Avoid outside wall

C. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that
run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a
chase.
In cold climates, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the chase be well insulated using batt type insulation between the joists.
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 restops/
attic shields at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3048
mm) of clear space to control spread of re.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor at the rst
level of the chase should be insulated (see Figure 3.3.)
Vapor and air inltration 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 drywalled and taped (or the use of
an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.
Holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced ber glass insulation.
WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil-
ing restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft
(3.05 m) to control spread of re.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT sealareabetweenre
stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter
the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use
600° F sealant).
• The chase is constructed using framing materials much
the same as the walls in your home. A variety of siding
materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer
brick, or standard siding materials.
• In constructing the chase, several factors must be
considered:
- Maintain a 2 in. (51 mm) air space around the
chimney.
- The chase top must be constructed of non-
combustible material.
- In cold climates, a restop spacer and attic insulation
shield should be installed in an insulated false ceiling
at the 8 ft. (2438 mm) level above the replace
assembly. This reduces heat loss through the chase.
- In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be
insulated to the level of the false ceiling as shown in
Figure 3.4. This will help reduce heat loss from the
home around the replace.
