INTENDED USE STATEMENT
NOTE:
Illustrations in this manual are not to scale and are intended to show “typical” installations. The FireRock 72” Linear
model is shown throughout this manual. Nominal dimensions are given for design and framing reference only, since actual
installations may vary due to job specific designs and preferences. Always maintain the stated minimum clearance to combustibles
and do not violate any specific installation requirement.
The fireplaces and chimney system are tested and listed by Intertek Testing Service to UL 127 and UL 103.
The FireRock fireplace is designed to burn wood, gas, or coal. Use solid wood, processed solid fuel fire logs, natural gas, propane, or
coal fuel only. Only vented gas logs that are listed by ANSI Z21.60 can be used in this fireplace.
Burning some fuels (such as charcoal) can be hazardous due to the possibility of producing carbon monoxide, which is both
invisible and odorless. Overexposure to carbon monoxide can lead to illness and death. It is strongly recommended to install
smoke and carbon monoxide detectors wherever fireplaces are in use.
This fireplace is intended for use as a supplemental heat source only and is not intended for heavy use as a primary heating system.
Overfiring, abusive burning, or mistreatment will void any warranty claims.
Do not use a fireplace insert or other product not specified for use with a fireplace with the reflective properties of this product.
The fireplace must sit on a concrete pad or slab that is designed to bear the total weight of the fireplace and chimney. This pad
or slab should provide for the noncombustible hearth extension substrate needed to support the code required noncombustible
hearth extension finish materials. This fireplace is not designed to sit directly on or abut a combustible surface. Installing this
fireplace directly on a combustible surface may result in a fire or explosion, causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
This product is designed to work with the FireRock Solid Block masonry flue system or any appropriately sized, UL 103 compliant,
metal prefabricated flue system. The metal flue system manufacturer must offer an anchor plate specifically designed for the
purposes of attaching the metal flue to the masonry fireplace. Installation of the chimney must conform to the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
The Linear fireplace is designed and listed to be 3 courses tall with an overall opening height of 25.125”. Modifications cannot be
made to reduce the opening height below published dimensions.
Recommended minimum overall height for the Linear fireplace and FireRock masonry chimney system for an indoor application
is 15’ for a straight, vertical chimney. Maximum overall height is 65’.
For heights above 65’, consult a structural engineer for additional structural support. These heights do not reflect information
regarding metal flue. Any UL 103 metal flue can be used on FireRock fireplaces. See metal flue manufacturer’s installation
instructions for information relating to height requirements/restrictions. For outdoor applications, there is no minimum height
requirement.
Any fireplace insert must be approved, in writing, by FireRock Products, LLC. Failure to heed this warning could result in failure of
this product and/or the insert product.
Always obtain necessary permits from proper authorities in local jurisdictions and comply with all local building codes.
All work performed on, near, and adjoining the fireplace and chimney installation must meet or exceed the specifications and
