A permit may be required for installations, fi nal approval is
contingent of the authority having local jurisdiction.
Consult
insurance carrier, local building, fi re offi cials or authorities
having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspec-
tion, and permits
.
Inspect the existing fi replace and chimney for any damage
or fl aws such as burnouts, metal or refectory warping.
Inspection to a minimum of NFPA 211 Level II is recom-
mended. All repairs must be made prior to installing an
insert. The fi replace must be structurally sound and be
able to support the weight of the solid-fuel insert
The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC
610-M87 for all installations. Install thermal protection per
this appliance listing requirements.
A full height 6 inch diameter stainless steel full height
listed chimney liner must be installed meeting type HT
(2100°F) requirements per UL 1777 (USA) or ULC S635
with “0” clearance to masonry (Canada). The full liner
must be attached to the insert
fl ue collar and to the top
of the existing chimney.
The fl ue liner top support attachment must not reduce the
air fl ow for the existing air-cooled chimney system. Re-

. (See Sec-
tion F., Prefabricated Metal Chimney)
To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the
fi replace, seal either the damper area around the chimney
liner or the insert surround. Circulating air chamber (i.e. in
a steel fi replace liner or metal hearth circulator) may not
be blocked. The air fl ow within and around the fi replace
shall not be altered, blocked by the installation of the insert.
(i.e. no louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports may be
blocked by the insert or the insert surround.
