WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat­ed out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.
Minimum replace opening requirements for factory-built replaces.
• The rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory
built rebox in order to gain minimum gas insert opening
requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and bafes may be removed from the factory built rebox if attached with mechanical
fasteners.
• The appliance may not be placed directly on the base of the outer wrap, a 1/4 in. airspace MUST be provided
between the insert and the oor of the outer wrap. Use
the levelling legs to raise the insert a minimum of 1/4
in.. The original replace may never be returned to solid
fuel in this condition. The sidewalls and top structure
of the rebox may not be altered with the exception of removable bafes and dampers.
• The metal oor of the factory-built replace may be
removed to facilitate the installation of the insert.
• Cutting of any sheet metal parts of the replace in which the gas replace insert is to be installed is prohibited, except the oor as tested for and as noted above and in
Figure 4.1-B.
• A minimum 1/2 in. gap from the bottom of the appliance to the metal oor of the factory-built rebox is RECOMMENDED to avoid fan motor resonance noise. See side view in Figure 4.1-A.
• If the recommended 1/2 in. leveling leg height can not be
achieved, a section of the factory-built metal oor may
be removed. See Figure 4.1-B and see Section 10.A for clearance under appliance.
Note: The metal warning plate, noting that the factory-built
replace has been converted for use with a gas replace

Drywall joints around the replace will be affected by ex­posure to elevated temperatures, along with other envi­ronmental, structural factors due to new construction, and
methods used to install and nish the drywall. If a crack does emerge adjacent to the replace, it can be perma­nently repaired by lling it with a paintable latex caulk,
followed by repainting.
Some movement of the screws used to secure the non­combustible board to the appliance/surround framing is expected. If a blemish begins to show over a screw head, sand the surface to remove the blemish and repaint.
NOTE: Concealed sections of 3 in. ex pipe must be contained inside existing masonary replace ue vent or installed into an existing wood burn-
ing vent system.

Wall Extension
Wall extension must be sealed to existing masonry wall. See Figure 4.6. Framing studs may not sit ush against existing masonry wall. In order to keep heat from escap­ing behind the wall this transition must be sealed.
• Seal with a high temperature silicone 300 °F.
and / or
• Packing insulation into voids between the masonry wall
and steel studs is acceptable.
Note: Combustible materials may be used to seal wall extension to existing masonry wall as long as it is out-
side the non-combustible zone.
