This
¿
replace has been tested and approved for use with a
hearth extension insulated to a minimum R value of 1.16.
To substitute materials for the factory-available hearth ex-
tensions, see Figure 8.3 and calculate insulation alterna-
tives as per Table 8.1 and the following formulas:
• Thermal conductivity per inch thickness =
k
• k = (BTU)(inch) / (foot
2
)(hour)(°F)
• Required thickness = Rk
• Thermal resistance per inch thickness =
r
• r = (foot
2
)(hour)(°F) / (BTU)(inch)
• Required thickness = R / rB.
