STEP 11.
INSTALLING FLASHING
Place the flashing over the chimney pipe where it
penetrates the roof and mark the outline of the flashing on
the roof. Remove the nails from the shingles inside this
outline and to the bottom edge of the roof cutout. Coat the
roof area under the shingles with roofing cement. Slide the
flashing under the shingles on the sides of the flashing and
re-nail the top and side shingles. DO NOT nail through the
lower portion of the flashing. If necessary, cover the side
and top of the flashing with the salvaged shingles. The
flashing should cover the lower side of the roof opening as
pictured in figure 16.
STEP 12.
INSTALLING THE STORM COLLAR
The storm collar is assembled to the chimney system next.
Holding the adjustable storm collar with the tab of the collar
in your right hand, put the collar around the flue pipe. Push
the tab on the collar through the slot provided. Pull the tab
through and bend it just enough so that the collar may be
raised upward.
Apply waterproof caulking around the flashing where the
collar fits around the top of the flashing. Push the storm
collar down s ecurely on the sealer and flashing. To secure
the collar, pull the tab through the slot as far as possible
and bend the tab over to hold it in place.
STEP 13. INSTALLING THE TERMINATION CAP
A chimney termination is required to finish the installation.
The following instructions are for the 82O3D termination.
Refer to the instructions packed with the termination for
additional information.
INSTALLING A GAS LINE
All Temco fireplaces are designed to accept a 1/2" gas line.
The gas appliance must be certified, listed or approved for
installation in a solid fuel fired fireplace by a nationally
recognized certification agency. A gas appliance must be
installed and operated in accordance with the instructions
provided by the appliance manufacturer and the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. The fireplace has a factory
installed tube for insertion of the gas line. Refer to page 4
for gas line inlet location.
NOTE:
A minimum 1/2" clearance from the gas pipe must
be maintained within 4" of the fireplace, (see figure 17).
To install the gas line, use a hammer and punch gently to
knock a hole through the refractory at the emboss. Remove
the insulation from the inlet tube. Run the line to just outside
the gas inlet hole of the fireplace. Slide a 1/2" gas line
nipple through the tube and attach to the line. Finish
installation by either capping gas line inside fireplace or by
attaching an approved gas appliance in accordance with its
installation instructions. Re-install insulation around the gas
line to seal between the gas line and gas conduit. Seal
around the gas line and the refractory with refractory
cement.
CAUTION: When using a decorative appliance, the
fireplace damper must be set in the fully open position.
OPTIONAL COLD CLIMATE INSTALLATIONS
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON SEALING
AND INSULATING THE FIREPLACE IS LEFT UP TO THE
DISCRETION OF THE INDIVIDUAL HOME
MANUFACTURER THESE STEPS ARE NOT REQUIRED
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION OF THE FIREPLACE
SYSTEM.
The insulation and sealing of the enclosure around the
fireplace is very important in cold climates. If the enclosure
is insulated and sealed properly, you can avoid future cold
air problems. The time taken to install the firebox correctly
is well worthwhile.
INSULATION OF THE FIREPLACE ENCLOSURE
When in a chase or on an outside wall, the fireplace
enclosure can be insulated like any other outside wall.
Insulation can be installed on the outside walls and the wall
above the fireplace. In chase installations, install a firestop
at the first ceiling level above the fireplace and seal the
remaining area with either sheet metal or 1/2" gypsum
wallboard. Insulation may then be installed above the
sheeting material. Required clearances to the chimney pipe
must be maintained. Lining the interior walls of the fireplace
enclosure with gypsum wallboard will further reduce cold air
infiltration.
INSULATE TO SEAL UNDER THE FIREPLACE
Insulating under the fireplace is beneficial. The fireplace
should be placed on insulating board. It is important that a
hard, rigid surface be maintained, so do not use fiberglass
insulation for this purpose. In a chase that cantilevers
outside the house, it is beneficial to insulate between the
floor joists.
CAUTION: When installing a fireplace in an insulated
enclosure, be sure to maintain all marked air spaces.
SEAL SEAMS
Seal between the fireplace and finishing materials. Use high
temperature caulk. See figure 11 for the details of sealing
spaces between the fireplace and finishing materials. Note
the small amount of insulation installed across the top of the
fireplace and down the sides as a backing for the caulk.
