Figure 9 – Latch Lubrication
The door should be air tight when closed. To verify if the gasket has been properly installed, place a sheet of paper over the
frame of the firebox opening and close the door. If the paper does not slide easily, the gasket has been installed properly.
3.10 Latch Lubrication
Periodically lubricate the latch with grease as indicated in Figure 9.
4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Authority having jurisdiction (such as the municipal building department, the fire
department, the fire prevention bureau, etc.) must be consulted before installation to determine
if a building permit is required.
CAUTION: Read these instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in property damage, bodily harm and even death.
4.1 Location of the Fireplace
Select the appropriate location for the fireplace. The position of the fireplace should be selected on the basis of heat output,
safety and esthetics.
Position the fireplace at the selected location, taking care of respecting the minimum clearances to combustible materials
shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3 on page 15.
The cutting of joists and rafters for floor, ceiling and roof chimney penetrations will affect the load bearing capacities of the
dwelling structure. To determine whether additional support is required, consult with the local building code. Improper
cutting of chimney openings in the attic and roof will affect the bearing and thermal insulating capacity as well as the
weather tightness of the dwelling. Incorrect workmanship must be avoided.
Consult a professional engineer or a certified installer if needed.
If possible, select a location for the fireplace that will minimize the number of offsets in the chimney course. Offsets will
reduce the draft, complicate the chimney sweeper’s work and increase installation costs. An installation drawing should be
prepared prior to the installation work.
4.2 Building Your Configuration
The Galaxy fireplace can be installed in three different configurations: the classic, the semi-classic and the clean face.
