FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances (see Figures 1 and 2).
2. Consider a location where the replace
will not be affected by drafts, air condition-
ing ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of
joists or roof rafters will make installation
easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 6).
Back and sides of replace 3/4" minimum*
Floor** 0" minimum
Perpendicular wall to opening 12" minimum
Top spacers 0" minimum
Mantel clearances see Mantels, page 5
Chimney outer pipe surface 1" minimum
* Not required at nailing anges
** See step 2 of Framing
-
quired air spaces with insulation
or other materials.
Residential Installation
The minimum height of the chimney, mea-
sured from the base of the replace to the ue
gas outlet of the termination, is 14.5 feet for
straight ue or a ue with one elbow set. The
maximum distance between elbows is 6 feet.
For systems with two elbow sets, the minimum
height is 22 feet. The maximum height of any
system is 50 feet. This measurement includes
the replace, chimney sections and the height
of the termination assembly at the level of the
ue gas outlet (see Figure 18, page 11).
Outdoor Installation
The minimum height of the chimney, mea-
sured from the base of the replace to the
ue gas outlet of the termination, is 7 1/2feet
(minimum of 4 feet of chimney pipe sections
required for outdoor installation).
1. Frame opening for fireplace using the
dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2.
2. If replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
ooring, the replace must be installed
upon a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of replace.
3. Set replace directly in front of this open-
ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.
4. Check the level of the replace and shim
with sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing replace to prepared fram-
ing, the ember protector (provided) must be
placed between the hearth extension (not
supplied) and under bottom front edge of
replace to protect against glowing embers
falling through. If replace is to be installed
on a raised platform, a Z-type ember pro-
tector (not supplied) must be fabricated to
t your required platform height. The ember
protector should extend under replace a
minimum of 1 1/2". The ember protector
should be made of galvanized sheet metal
(28 gauge minimum) to prevent corro-
sion.
6. Using screws or nails, secure replace to
framing through anges located on sides
of replace.
