TERMINATIONS:
The fireplace system must be terminated with the listed round
top or chase terminations. In any case, refer to the installation
instructions supplied with the termination. The termination
approved for this fireplace are the RT-8DM and RTL-8DM,
which can be used for flashing or chase and ET-8DM and
ETO-8DM for chase style termination only. Figure 11 shows
a RT-8DM round top termination.
CAUTION: DO NOT SEAL OPENINGS ON THE ROOF
TOP FLASHING. FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THE TERMINATION
BEING USED.
Terminations with 16” slip pipe sections are available. The
RTT-8DM and RTTL-8DM are approved for flashing or chase
installations. The ETL-8DM and ETLO-8DM are
terminations that may be used with chase installations only.
When needed, these adjustable terminations may be used in
combination with the pipe assembly to achieve the correct
chimney height.
CHASE INSTALLATIONS
Instructions for chase installations are included with the 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 30 inches,
center to center, and stacked at vertical height difference of
18 inches (see figure 12).
10 FOOT RULE:
All 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 peak of the roof if within
a horizontal distance of 10 feet from the peak. (SEE FIG 13).
OUTSIDE AIR KIT (MODEL AK4E)
The installation of an outside air kit must be installed during
the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of its
location. Outside combustion air can be accessed through an
exterior wall or a vented crawl space (see figures 14a & 14b).
CAUTION: AIR DUCTS MUST NOT TERMINATE IN
ATTIC SPACE
Avoid installing outside air eyebrow in areas where inlet
opening may be blocked by snow, bushes or other obstacles.
It should also be located beyond the reach of children. The
maximum height of air inlet above platform of fireplace is 3 ft.
below the termination flue gas outlet.
For further details on the installation of the outside air kit,
please refer to the instructions included with the air kit. For
operating instructions, please refer to your owner’s manual.
