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 8 feet
(minimum of 4 feet of chimney pipe sections
required for outdoor installation).
1. Frame the opening for the replace using
the dimensions shown in Figures 1 and
2.
2. If the 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 the replace.
3. Set the replace directly in front of this
opening and slide the unit back until the
nailing anges touch the 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 the bottom front edge
of the replace to protect against glowing
embers falling through. If the replace is
to be installed on a raised platform, a Z-
type ember protector (not supplied) must
be fabricated to t your required platform
height. The ember protector should extend
under the replace a minimum of 1 1/2". The
ember protector should be made of galva-
nized sheet metal (28 gauge minimum) to
prevent corrosion.
6. Using screws or nails, secure the replace
to the framing through anges located on
the sides of the replace.
