Section
3.2
–Residential Insert Installation
You must have 18” of hearth extending beyond the face of the stove. Since many fireplace hearths are 18”
from the face of the opening, you may need to add a hearth extension to achieve proper clearance. Please
refer to Section 6 for complete clearance diagram.
With the addition of a fireplace insert surround kit (part #KA-SEQSURR) your Sequoia unit may be
installed and used in masonry fireplaces only (lined, masonry chimneys constructed in accordance with
NFPA 211 guidelines).
NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN FACTORY–BUILT OR ZERO
CLEARANCE FIREPLACES.
If your masonry chimney is damaged, deteriorated, or unlined, a stainless steel liner (8” diameter)
with thermal wrap will need to be installed and connected directly to the Sequoia insert flue opening. If
you are unsure of the condition of your chimney, have it cleaned and inspected by your dealer or a chimney
professional. Use and install liner kits that are approved to UL 1777 only.

licensed chimney professional if you have any questions.
