Installing the Accentra Insert into an
existing factory built wood burning
fireplace
When installing the Accentra Insert into a factory
built wood burning fireplace, the Manufactured Fire-
place Installation Kit # 1-00-674205 must be used. In
addition, several things need to be taken into consid-
eration.
The size of the fireplace opening. Will the unit fit
into the opening? Many of these units have metal
smoke shields inside the top that can be removed to
gain height. Often the side and rear refractory can be
removed to gain depth and width. In some circum-
stances, the front lower lip or grill work may also be
removed. Be sure and follow the guidelines in the kit
instructions.
Because of the special track system, it
is also permitted to remove the floor refractory and/or
insulation in the bottom of the manufactured fireplace,
right down to the outer sheet metal, which must be left
in place for floor protection under the insert mounting
frame. Floor protection guidelines, as listed on page
14 must also be followed.
