FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES
Country Flame catalytic stoves are approved for installation in factory built wood burning fireplaces. Any fireplace used
to install a Country Flame catalytic stove should be listed to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards. Further, Country Flame
stoves have been specifically tested and approved for installation in the following manufacturer’s fireplaces: Heatilator,
Superior, Preway, Marco, Majestic, Martin. The approval to install one of Country Flames stoves in one of these
manufacturers’ fireplaces extends to all models if it meets one condition. A minimum clearance (air space) of 1” (25mm)
is to be maintained from the sides, back and top between the zero clearance fireboxes and the Country Flame catalytic
stove once installation has been completed. Only two modifications may be made to any zero clearance fireplaces before
installing a Country Flame catalytic stove:
1 The damper may be removed from the existing fireplace. If the damper is not removable, it must be permanently
wired into the open position before the catalytic stove is installed and,
2
The ember catcher, located in the base of the fireplace flue, may be permanently removed before the catalytic
stove is installed.
NOTE: Any parts removed from an existing fireplace should be properly stored. In the event the catalytic stove is
removed, these fireplace parts would need to be reinstalled. Failure to reinstall a removed part will create a dangerous
situation during fireplace operation.
MASONRY BUILT FIREPLACES
Country Flame catalytic stoves are approved for installation in masonry built fireplaces constructed in accordance with the
requirements of the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances in accordance with
NFPA Number 211, UBC 37 standards, or any applicable local code requirements. Carefully plan the installation in order
to avoid costly mistakes. First, be sure to understand clearance requirements and ensure the Country Flame catalytic stove
model selected for the home will fit into an existing masonry built fireplace. An installation in masonry built fireplaces
requires that the damper be secured into the open position. Although Country Flame catalytic stoves have been approved
for “face seal” installation only, Country Flame STRONGLY recommends the use of one of the following techniques
when deciding on a chimney connection:
a) GOOD – Minimum of 12” (300mm) starter pipe installed into fireplace flue.
b) BETTER – Direct connection of a chimney liner past the first clay flue tile in
accordance with NFPA 211 or any applicable local code.
c) BEST - Install a complete relining of the masonry chimney system with an 8”
(200mm) diameter standard steel chimney connector.
Kits are available to assist in the connection of a catalytic stove to a masonry fireplace chimney. Look for a listed kit,
which means it has agency approval. The stove to fireplace kit is to be installed in place of the fireplace damper. In most
cases, the existing fireplace damper will be removed to allow for installation of the kit adaptor. The critical points are that:
(1) The stove connector pipe (either 6” [150mm] or 8” [200mm]) must extend up the masonry chimney past the first clay
flue tile and (2) The adaptor and chimney connector must fit tightly and be sealed with high temperature furnace cement.
The adaptor kit’s instructions must be followed over any information provided in this manual.
DO NOT REMOVE BRICK OR MORTAR FROM THE FIREPLACE IN ORDER TO INSTALL ANY STOVE
OR ADAPTOR KIT. FIREPLACE INSERT FLOOR PROTECTORS MUST EXTEND AT LEAST 8” (200MM)
TO EACH SIDE AND 18” (450MM) IN FRONT.
Have the masonry fireplace inspected by a certified installer or chimney sweep. Inspect for loose mortar, cracks, broken
clay liners, deterioration, blockage of the flue, etc. The existing masonry chimney system should be certified for use with
a catalytic stove. If the masonry chimney has an oversized flue, it will contribute to poor draft, creosote build up and
other problems. A chimney’s flue size should be no less than the existing diameter of a stove’s flue collar and no more
than three (3) times the cross sectional area of the flue size of the catalytic stove’s flue collar. EXAMPLE: Assume the
