Hearth-mount into a Masonry Fireplace
The OSLO F500 may be installed into a masonry
fireplace provided the height of the opening is a
minimum of 29. The short leg package reduces the
stoves height by 2 1/4.
When installing the OSLO F500 into a masonry
fireplace, code requires that the fireplace damper plate
be removed or securely fixed in the open position. A
connector pipe must then extend from the stoves flue
exit through the damper area of the fireplace and into
the chimney tile liner.
See figure 5
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than
the area of the stoves flue exit, and cannot be more
than three times greater than the cross sectional area
of the stoves flue exit.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the
stove, an approved relining system must be installed
to resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper
frame and sealed with the proper sealant (usually
High-Temp Silicone).
Fireplace installation must also observe the proper
clearances to surrounding trim and mantels (addressed
in clearance section of this manual). In addition,
fireplace installations must also adhere to the floor
protection guidelines specified in the following section.
Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the OSLO F500 to a prefabricated
metal chimney always follow the pipe manufactures
instructions and be sure to use the components that
are required. This usually includes some type of
smoke pipe adapter that is secured to the bottom
section of the metal chimney and allows the chimney
pipe to be secured to it with three sheet metal screws.
