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. Terminations must 

be separated a minimum of 30" center to cen-

ter and stacked at a minimum vertical height 

difference of 18" (see Figure 27).
Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed, 

contact the manufacturer for specifications.

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible  materials,  such  as  wallboard, 

gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, 

etc. may make direct contact with sides and 

top around the fireplace face. It is important 

that combustible materials do not overlap the 

face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncom-

bustible materials may overlap the front face 

provided they do not obstruct essential open-

ings like louvered slots or any other opening. 

When  overlapping  with  a  noncombustible 

facing  material,  use  only  noncombustible 

mortar or adhesive.

INSTALLING FIREPLACE FACING

Any noncombustible material may be used for 

facing (glass, tile, brick, etc.) as long as proper 

clearances  are  adhered  to  and  fireplace 

openings are not obstructed in any way (see 

Minimum Clearance to Combustibles, page 

4 and Figure 28).
Use only heat resistant, noncombustible mor-

tar or adhesive when securing facing material 

to front of fireplace. When placing facing at 

upper edge of effective opening of fireplace, 

provide “L” shaped piece of metal extending 

full width of opening (see Figure 28).
Secure with sheet metal screws at a distance 

high enough from edge so it doesn't interfere 

with operation of doors. This assures that fac-

ing material will not block openings.
