INSTALLATION (continued)
7. Prior to installing the Fireplace, hand bend the two (2) Top
Framing Spacers into triangles as shown in Figure 10. To at-
tach the outer leg of the standoffs, remove one (1) screw from
the front of the outer top flange of the fireplace, then re-instal
the same screw through the tab of the top standoff spacers
into the outer top to secure. See Figure 10.
Note: A combustible header may rest on top of the top stand-
off spacers. Screws may be installed through the top of the
standoff spacers and into the header to add stability of the
spacer if desired.
8. Non-combustible headers may be used above the fireplace
to maintain structural integrity, providing sufficient backing for
non-combustible finishing materials.
9. Because of the close proximity of the vent system to the head-
er framing, it is recommended that a combustible header be
turned upright to provide the 1” minimum clearance required
to vent pipe. See Page 7, Figure 2.
10. The finished wall surface materials must be non-combustible
for a distance of at least 12” above the top of the fireplace
outer cabinet.
11. It is recommended that the Junction Box be installed and
properly wired whether or not the optional blower accessory
is installed. Caution: Wiring must be performed by a qualified
electrician.
Vent Pipe Clearance
Note:
Maintain one inch (1”) of clearance around vertical vent
pipe.
See Figure 11
. For horizontal vent, maintain a minimum 1”
clearance to the bottom and sides of the vent, and 3” clearance to
combustibles above the vent pipe.
See Figure 12.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREpLACE, NEvER OB-
STRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/OUTLET OpENINGS
IN ANY MANNER. pROvIDE ADEqUATE CLEARANCES
AROUND AIR OpENINGS.
CAUTION: pRIOR TO INSTALLATION, MEASURE THE FIRE-
pLACE AND vERIFY FRAMING REqUIREMENTS, METHODS,
AND WALL COvERING DETAILS pRIOR TO FRAMING CON-
STRUCTION.
CAUTION:
If the joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be
sealed.
Surround Installation
To complete the installation of the Loft fireplace, a Surround Kit
specifically designed for use with these fireplaces must be in
-
stalled prior to use. Surround options shown on page 38 are avail-
able from your dealer. Follow the instructions included with the
Surround Kit for proper installation.
