D. AS A BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
The figures describe this stoves installation vented into either
a special chase built outside an outer wall or a false inside wall.
This is especially suited for new construction or remodeling. The
equipment compartment (sides and rear of the stove in fireplace)
must be enclosed per the applicable electrical standards. This
can be accomplished by the use of this units panel kit. NOTE:
Floor protection for Built-in raised hearths requires a continuous
sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through
to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in
the finished surface. This fireplace insert must be installed with a
continuous chimney liner of 3” or 4” (77 mm or 102 mm) diameter
extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The
chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Extending Masonry or
Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for
Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys. The existing fireplace
damper may be removed or locked into the open position. The chase
dimensions shown are minimums and must be maintained.
IF THE FIREPLACE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE
FIREPLACE INSERT A METAL TAG SHALL BE ATTACHED TO THE
FIREPLACE.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION.
E. INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT (METAL) FIREPLACE
When installing into a factory built fireplace, the firebox must
accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted
or screwed together pieces such as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash
lips, screen or door tracks and damper assemblies. These items
must be reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its original operating
condition if the insert is removed and not replaced. The removal of
any part must not alter the integrity of the listed fireplace in any way.
In zero-clearance fireplace installations, when the fireplace opening
is above the floor or raised hearth, the adjustable “Z-C Legs” can
be used to bridge the gap between the hearth and stove bottom.
The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL 127. Installation
must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting type HT
requirements (2100° F) per 1777 (U.S.). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top. The damper
area must be sealed to prevent room air passage to chimney cavity.
Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted except
with the following exceptions:
• External trim pieces, which do not affect the operation of the
fireplace, may be removed proving they can be stored on or
within, the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is removed.
• The fireplace damper may be removed to install the chimney
liner.
Circulating air chambers, louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet
ports (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall
not be blocked. Means must be provided for removal of the insert
to clean the chimney flue. A permanent metal warning label must
be attached to the back wall of the fireplace opening stating the
following:
• “This fireplace has been altered to accommodate a fireplace
insert and should be inspected by a qualified person prior to
re-use as a conventional fireplace.”
• This label is available upon request.
Final approval is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.
