When installing the Accentra 52i into a factory built wood
burning fireplace, several things need to be taken into
consideration.
The size of the fireplace opening. Will the unit fit into the
opening? Some of the factory built fireplaces have metal
smoke shields inside the top that can be removed to gain
height. Keep in mind that anything removed from the factory
built fireplace must be attached to the fireplace with a metal
wire.
Floor protection guidelines, as listed previously, must
also be followed.
The manufactured fireplace may not be altered beyond the
exceptions listed below. Never remove masonry bricks or
mortar from an existing fireplace.
The following modifications are permissible:
•
Removal of the damper or lock in open position
•
Removal of smoke shelf or baffle
•
Removal of andirons or ember catchers
•
Removal of log grate
•
Removal of view screen or curtain
•
Removal of doors
•
External trim pieces, that do not affect the operation of
the fireplace, may be removed providing they can be
stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the
insert is removed.
•
If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening,
the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must
be supported.
•
Final approval of this type of installation is contingent
upon the authority having jurisdiction.
•
If any of the modifications detailed above are completed
on the fireplace during installation, the label included in
this kit, part number 1601246 must be installed.
The factory built chimney must be listed per UL 127 (US)
and meet type HT requirements of UL 103 (US). Factory
Built fireplace chimneys tested to UL 127-98 may be, at the
fireplace manufacturers option, tested to the same criteria
as UL 103HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as
meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was
tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be
installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top.
Liner must meet high temperature (2100° F) per UL1777
(US). The liner must be securely attached to both the flue
collar and the chimney cap. To prevent room air passage to
the chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal the damper area
around the chimney liner with fiberglass batting.
* Floor protection must be used from hearth opening to 6” (152mm)
in front of door glass and 6” (152mm) to each side of the stove body
OR 8” (203mm) to sides and 18” (457mm) in front (CANADA) to
protect combustibles from hot ashes. A minimum size will be 16.5”
deep by 30” wide and be made of a non-combustible material or
meet UL approval.
