IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The FireRock Linear fireplace is a modular system designed to be assembled in field using FireRock Adhesive Mortar. Each
component is designed for a specific part of the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue design, and therefore only one means of
assembly is possible. A minimum 2 1/2” thick firebrick lining is required for the floor and back wall, with 1 1/4” thick firebrick lining
on the side walls. All firebrick used must comply with ASTM 1261.
Any application other than the “intended use” stated herein is in violation of the manufacturer’s instructions and is hereby
prohibited. Such violations may cause immediate hazard, property damage, or loss of life, and will void all liabilities to the
manufacturer and will void all warranties, explicit or implied.
Read the installation and operating instructions carefully and in full to be sure you understand them prior to installation. If the
information in this manual (including installation instructions) is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
1. Check local building codes pertaining to fireplaces and fireplace installation. All installations must comply with local,
regional, state and national building codes and regulations.
2. Maintain the stated minimum clearance to combustibles (see page 18) and do not violate any specific installation
requirement.
3. Do not pack required air spaces with insulation or other materials.
4. Foundations and footings must meet local building code and be approved by the local building authority. For any
foundation design and load requirements, check with a structural engineer.
5. This fireplace is not designed to sit directly on or abut a combustible surface or floor system.
6. Ensure that an adequate supply of replacement air from outside of the house is accessible to the fire to support normal
combustion. It is the responsibility of the builder or contractor to supply adequate combustion air.
7. Do not use a fireplace insert or other product not specified for use with a fireplace with the reflective properties of this
product.
