Zero Clearance Fireplace Requirements
These are factory built insulated metal fireplaces
that are usually framed into the wall with lumber. The
term, "Zero Clearance" refers to the fact that wood fram-
ing material can be in contact with the outer shell of the
fireplace.
1. The chimney must be at least 15 feet high but not
more than 33 feet high.
. The chimney must have a stainless steel liner in
-
stallled from bottom to top.
3. The entire fireplace and chimney must be clean and
in good condition. Any damage must be repaired
before installing the insert.
4. The fireplace and chimney must meet local building
codes.
5. The smoke shelf, internal baffles, damper and glass
or metal doors may be removed from the fireplace as
necessary.
6. Internal parts of the fireplace, such as refractory
linings (firebricks), insulation, firebox walls or door
frames may
not
be removed or altered.
zero Clearance Fireplace Installation
The first step is to take careful measurements to be
sure the insert will fit into fireplace. It is required that zero
clearance installations be lined to the top of the chimney.
The liner can be rigid or flexible with a chimney cap and
top sealing plate installed. The liner should be stainless
steel and listed to UL-1777.
leveling bolts
The F200 Insert has leveling bolts at each lower rear
corner. These bolts can be used to stablize the unit on an
uneven hearth by turning them in the proper direction.
Clockwise to raise that corner and counter-clockwise to
lower.
