Models with Features and Accessories
1. The instructions on the following pages were designed to
make the installation of your TEMCO fireplace as quick
as possible. It is important that they be followed. This
fireplace is to be installed
only
by a qualified installer.
2. Use only TEMCO manufactured components, listed
under
8" Diameter Chimney System
when installing a
TEMCO fireplace.
Substituting other manufacturers'
components for, or altering TEMCO parts will void
the UL listing and the TEMCO warranty.
3. Check local building codes for restrictions which may not
be contained in this manual.
4. The fireplace design permits installation and framing
adjacent to combustible materials. Do not set the
fireplace on vinyl flooring or carpets.
?
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT OVERLAP
THE SURFACE OF THE BLACK FRONT FACE
PANELS. COMBUSTIBLES MAY BE INSTALLED
OVER THE SIDE NAIL FLANGES UP TO THE EDGE
OF THE FRONT FACE SURFACE.
5. ALL CHIMNEY SECTIONS, ELBOWS AND FLUE
SUPPORTS REQUIRE AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF
1" AIR SPACE CLEARANCE TO ALL
COMBUSTIBLES.
6. The minimum distance from the fireplace opening to an
adjacent combustible wall is 15½". See page 6 for
alternative wall shields and required R-factors.
7. If the floor in front of the fireplace is combustible, a
protective hearth extension must be used. Raised or
floor level extensions may be constructed. On flush face
models only, a raised hearth extension may be flush with
the fireplace hearth. For a raised hearth on louvered
models, the fireplace must also be installed on a
platform.
?
Minimum hearth dimensions:
36" models 16" x 52"
42" models 20" x 66"
?
Since many hearth extension materials are not insulating
materials, a layer of noncombustible inorganic insulating
material must be used also. See pages 6 and 7 for R-
factor requirements.
8. Adhere to the 10' Rule of Thumb for chimney height,
(see page 9).
9. Chimney supports:
a. Flue support is required for every 35' of vertical system
height.
b. Flue support is required for every 6' of offset chimney.
c. Guy wire stabilizer is required for chimneys extending
more than 6' above roof line.
10.Only TEMCO model glass doors (see chart below) may
be installed on these fireplaces.
11.The barometric damper on the Combustion Air Kit allows
air to be drawn from above, below or behind the
fireplace; but air must never be drawn from the attic or
garage spaces. Refer to the air kit installation manual for
complete installation and use information. The AK-18 Air
Kit is designed to be installed through the floor of the
home. The inlet duct should be located below the
framing and insulated flooring materials, and
communicate with a free air space.
12.Check your local building code to determine if grounding
is required and what procedure should be followed.
Grounding is recommended by the manufacturer if you
live in an area of high risk due to electrical storms.
13.System specifications:
See Fig. 10 through 15.
14.On louvered models, which have a factory installed
blower or fan kit, it is necessary to bring a power source
to the fireplace. See separate installation instructions.
See BL-1 blower instructions for wiring procedures.
