10 FOOT RULE
All flue gas outlet chimney terminations must
extend a minimum of 3 feet in height above the
highest point where it passes through the roof
and must be at least 2 feet above the high
-
est point of the roof that is within a horizontal
distance of 10 feet (see Figure 17).
FINISHING FIREPLACE
Combustible materials, such as wallboard,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may make direct contact with sides and
top around fireplace face. It is important that
combustible materials do not overlap the face
itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible
materials may overlap front face provided they
do not obstruct essential openings like louvered
slots or any other opening. When overlapping
with a noncombustible facing material, use only
noncombustible mortar or adhesive.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS
Instructions for chase installations are includ
-
ed with chase style termination chosen. In a
multiple chase installation, be sure to provide
adequate distance between terminations to
prevent smoke spillage from one termination
to another. We suggest that terminations be
separated at least 24" center to center and
stacked at a vertical height difference of 18"
(see Figure 16).
Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,
contact the manufacturer for specifications.
Gas line hook up should be done by your
supplier or a qualified service person.
Note: Before you proceed, make sure your
gas supply is turned off.
Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropri
-
ate fittings.
1. Remove knockout indentation on refractory
or firebrick wall located above refractory
hearth floor. The knockout indentation must
be firmly tapped with any solid object such
as a 1/2" dowel until it is released. Remove
fragmented portions of refractory (see Fig
-
ure 18).
