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. 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.
