3.1 Installation Planning
This appliance offers several design options for managing the heat
produced by this fireplace.
Read all documentation for your specific installation
and design options prior to appliance installation.
•
Standard Installation
will be outlined in this manual in sections
marked ‘standard installation’ and must be followed
if no design
options (vented cavity and Komfort Zone Kit) are to be used.
The
fireplace enclosure and ceiling minimum height must be 76”
(1930mm) for
all
design options.
If planning a standard installation with the use of a heat transfer
kit (HTK-EXT or HTK-INT), the standard framing dimensions for
full enclosure framing will still apply.
•
If planning a standard installation with shelf enclosure framing,
the following standard installation framing dimensions and
clearances listed for ‘shelf enclosure framing’ in this section will
apply.
Heat management options (heat transfer kits, vented
cavity, Komfort Zone Kit) can not be used with shelf enclosure
framing.
•
Heat Transfer Kit(s)
allows you to transfer heat to a specific area
inside your home (interior) or directly outside (exterior). This
appliance can have (2) of the same heat transfer kits installed at
the same time. It can be one or two of the same heat transfer kits.
See the HTK-EXT or HTK-INT manuals for further information.
If you are planning a standard installation with the use of an
exterior and/or interior kit,
the minimum dimensions listed in
this section for full enclosure framing will apply for your framing
installation. You will still need to remove the cover plates as
instructed in Section 3.8 on page 23. If you are installing a
heat transfer kit with the use of a KZK, vented cavity option, or
the #CWST-ODK, the minimum requirements applicable to those
options must be adhered to.
•
Vented Cavity
offers the option to leave a minimum sized
opening in the fireplace cavity, allowing for heat reduction above
the fireplace. This option allows for combustible facing materials
above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV mounted above the
fireplace, and lower mantel clearances. See Section 3.9 Vented
Cavity and Komfort Zone Kit Installation on page 24.
All vented cavity options
have the same minimum chamber
and ceiling dimension requirements
as the standard installation
dimensions for full enclosure framing in this section
.
The
fireplace chamber and ceiling minimum height must be 76”
(1930mm) for
all
design options.
•
Komfort Zone Kit
offers the option to redistribute radiant heat
through plenum(s). This option allows for combustible facing
materials above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above the
fireplace, and lower mantel clearances. See Section 3.9 Vented
Cavity and Komfort Zone Kit Installation on page 24.
If installing a Komfort Zone Kit (#KZK-054 or #KZK-1510A)
,
the framing requirements may be different than the standard
dimensions for full enclosure framing listed in this section. Please
reference the manual included with your kit before completing
all fireplace framing and other installation considerations.
•
Callaway See-Through Outdoor Kit
converts the appliance to an
indoor-outdoor partition, or window, allowing the fireplace to be
viewed from both the indoor and the outdoor of your home. See
the #CWST-ODK manual for further information.
If installing the #CWST-ODK, you have the choice of two heat
management options to use, the #KZK-054 (see the #KZK-054
manual), or the single opening cavity option (section 3.9.3 on
page 26). One of these two options are require for use with
the #CWST-ODK. The opening for either option must be in the
interior of the house.
Heat transfer kits (HTK-EXT or HTK-INT) may be used in
combination with the #KZK-054 or single opening vented
cavity for the #CWST-ODK. See the HTK-EXT or HTK-INT for more
information.
Refer to your applicable heat management options for framing
requirements. Shelf enclosure framing is not allowed for use with
the #CWST-ODK.
Kozy Power Vent (#KPV) is allowed for use with the #CWST-ODK.
•
Kozy Power Vent
is a fan-powered mechanical draft vent system
(horizontal terminations only) for use with any of the design
options listed above. It is easier to convert the fireplace for use
with the #KPV before framing in the fireplace. If you convert the
fireplace for use with the #KPV after fireplace installation, you will
have to remove the control board. See Section 8.3 Control Board
Removal and Installation on page 59 for access to the control
board before and after installation.
•
If planning to convert to propane, it is easier to complete the gas
conversion before framing in the fireplace. See the #LCK-CW50-
SPB manual for complete conversion instructions. If you convert
the fireplace to propane after fireplace installation, you will have
to remove the control board. See Section 8.3 Control Board
Removal and Installation on page 59 for access to the control
board before and after installation.
•
If planning to install optional fan kit #CWST-028, there is a
block-off plate if you wish to divert air into a certain room. See
Section 9.4.1 Fan Channel Block-off Plate on page 63 for more
information.
Please read the instructions in this manual carefully for your
specific installation.
