E. Constructing the Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
electrical appliance. Chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold
air drafting problems. The chase should not break the
outside building envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated.
Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
D. Installation into New Construction
Position the fireplace within the opening in the framing.
Level the fireplace with shims if necessary.
Attach the
fireplace to the framing with the two provided brackets
and screws or nails.
C. Installation into Existing Fireplace
1.
Seal all drafts with non-fiberous insulation materials to
prevent debris or water from falling from the chimney
to electric fireplace.
2.
Close or seal off the chimney flue and close damper
(if applicable) to prevent rain infiltration.
3.
Do not install in an existing fireplace that is prone to
dampness.
4. A provision must be made for the appliance to be
connected to power within existing firebox, or on an
adjacent wall.
