SR/SC Series "A" Woodburning Fireplace
7412948
NOTE: Safety strips are not required over noncom-
bustible floors where all supports at the base of the
fireplace are noncombustible.
Four (4) nailing flanges are incorporated on each
corner of the surround. Bend the nailing flanges out,
level the box, then secure it firmly in place by nailing
the flanges to the framing members as shown in
Figure 15.
The following table gives firestop spacer model
numbers:
(Fig. 14)
Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible
materials in front of the fireplace are protected even
though a noncombustible hearth extension is required.
If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z”
shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used
to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace.
This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must
be fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least
1
¹⁄₂
" (38mm) wide and equal in length to the metals
strips provided with the fireplace.
Installing Outside Air Kit
An outside air kit is installed in all SR/SC Series
Fireplaces. If desired, or if local codes mandate the
use of an air kit, then an AK-MST is required to
complete the installation (from air kit to the outdoors).
If the outside air kit is to be used, the AK-MST MUST
be installed BEFORE the fireplace is enclosed. Refer
to the AK-MST instructions for field installation.
Installing the Chimney System
Start by attaching the first chimney section to the collar
on top of the fireplace.
Install the pipe as pictured in Figure 16. When you
get a good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap
together. Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is
extremely difficult to get them apart. Make sure the
pipe is firmly snapped and locked together as each
pipe section is mounted.
When installing elbows, only outer pipe will snap- lock.
Middle pipes simply slide into position. Be sure to
always attach straps on upper elbow to a structural
framing member. (Fig. 17)
The inside dimension of the frame must be the same
as the hole size selected from Figure 13 in order to
provide required the 1
¹⁄₂
" (38mm) of air space between
the outside diameter of the chimney and the edges of
the framed ceiling hole.
Positioning, Safety Strips,
Securing the Fireplace
Slide fireplace into position.
Lift the fireplace front slightly and slide the metal safety
strips under front bottom edge about 1
¹⁄₂
" (38mm),
allowing the remainder to extend in front of firebox.
Overlap strips at least 1/2" (13mm) to provide a
positive joint. (Flat safety strips are packed with fireplace.)
