Table 4 - Distance to Temperature
P2. ABOVE THE FIREPLACE
Almost all of the heat produced by the Halcyon Gas Fireplace rises directly up the wall into which it is set. This subjects the wall
above the Fireplace (and anything attached to the wall) to elevated temperatures. The European Home Remote Heat Kit (included)
is designed to keep the wall cooler by moving heat away from the Fireplace. Your Fireplace is supplied with enough insulated,
flexible duct to allow the Remote Heat Kit to be installed in a simple, ‘bump-in’ enclosure. If your installation requires more duct it
is available through your retailer or from European Home. NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided
by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open area of 41%.
Figure 9
and
Table 4
show some typical wall surface temperatures at various distances from the Facing Bead on the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace. These temperatures are shown with no mantel attached. The inclusion of a mantel will have no material affect on the
wall temperatures above the Fireplace.
This information is intended to better inform your decision to attach objects above the Fireplace. European Home cannot predict
the effects of heat on anything attached above the Fireplace and the final choice of objects, attachments and materials rests
entirely with the customer. European Home takes no responsibility for any effects, good or bad, of heat upon any objects attached
above the Fireplace.
