Fireplace Finishes &
Combustible Trim Clearances
Hearth Material & Dimensions – Strict codes control
the types of materials that you can select for your Burntech®
Fireplace’s hearth as well as the hearth’s length and width. All
hearth extensions must be made of code-rated, noncombustible
materials such as tile, brick, concrete or stone. Refer to pages
11-12 for more information.
As with any radiant heat fireplace, all Burntech®
Fireplaces must comply with building code safety clearances,
per units that have openings of 6 sq. ft. (six square feet) or
greater. For Mantel clearances see Figure 17 . Walls that
Adjoin – Safety codes and all practical outlooks insist that your
fireplace cannot be installed closer than 2 ft. (two feet) to any
walls in the room the fireplace is housed in or to any walls of
adjoining rooms.
Caution in Regards to Combustibles – If any part of the
fireplace or objects in the room (curtains, rugs, paint, cushions,
etc.) start to show warping or discoloration due to heat from
the fireplace, it is time to take immediate action. Do not use
the fireplace until you have figured out how to address the
problem. You are facing a potential fire hazard. Burntech®
Fireplace Solutions cannot be responsible for the make-up
of material on the exterior of the fireplace you have chosen,
nor can Burntech® Fireplace Solutions be held responsible
for the materials in a room that may be responding negatively
to heat. However, in almost all cases, there is a solution to
the problem, either by making adjustments to airflow or the
modifications to the room itself.
Installing Outside Air *
*Outside Air kits may not be required on outdoor fireplaces.
Consult with your local building department.
The Burntech® Fireplace needs enough replacement
air to function properly and some local building codes may
require outside combustion air to be provided. If no replacement
air is provided, improper flue drafting may occur, creating
negative pressure whereby smoke may enter the home,
especially in homes that are very well insulated and tightly
sealed. Check local building codes for specific requirements.
Install Combustion Air Kit BFP4AK into the Burntech®
Firebox through the side wall opening provided. A 4” dia. hole
will also be required through the firebrick side lining (see
Figure 63 ). The tubing that goes out of the firebox wall must
feed into a flexible metal conduit as the source for outside
combustible air. It can go straight out through an outside wall
or into a ventilated crawl space. If crawl space is used, check
codes for proper termination.
Figure 63
Be sure that you carefully check the source of the outside air
before you choose the site for your air intake. You don’t want
a place where snow will collect, where bushes or trees will be
growing or a location that is too close to any other structure.
Install a screened termination cap to keep out small animals.
Adding a Gas Pipe
You may elect to add a vented decorative gas
appliance (gas log) to your Burntech® Fireplace. If so, follow
the installation instructions from the Decorative Gas Appliance
manufacturer. Familiarize yourself with requirements for
installation as outlined by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1. This gas pipe provision should only be used on a
decorative gas appliance.
You can route the gas piping in the firebox side walls. Use
a drill with a masonry bit. Follow all building codes when
runningyour gas line.
Fill in the holes you have drilled around the gas piping with the
regular Burntech® mortar.
Follow the Gas Log manufacturer’s instructions.
