Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or factory
built zero-clearance fi replace. The masonry fi replace must be
built according to the requirements of the Standard of Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning appliances, N.F.P.A.
211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, Provincial, State or
local codes. The installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equip-
ment. The factory built zero-clearance fi replace and its chimney
must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards.
Warning:
Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERV-
ICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Specifi cations
Your fi replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH (at front)
28" (876 mm)
WIDTH (at rear)
26" (673 mm)
HEIGHT
23-1/8" (587 mm)
DEPTH
18" (778 mm)
Chimney height 15' (minimum).
A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back
wall of the fi replace, if the fi replace has been modifi ed to
accommodate the insert.
Into a Masonry Fireplace
Inspect your fi replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physical
defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed before
installing your insert.
The fi replace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions, especially if it
has not been in use for some time. Have chimney swept.
The existing fi replace damper is to be locked open or removed
completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your exist-
ing fi replace.
Exception:
Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame
if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the fi replace and
chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materials
to less than that required by the National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or
national building codes. The two methods of fl ue connection
that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner: (Fig.2) where a stainless steel rigid or fl exible liner
extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A. only): where a throat blocker
plate and a short connector pipe is used.
Note:
A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a positive fl ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
Pacifi c Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner as
the safest installation and providing optimum performance.
When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to draft
correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult
start-ups and smoking out the door.
