QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING
OFFICIAL
These appliances must be installed per
manufacturers’ instructions. Installations
must conform to appropriate local codes and
applicable state and federal requirements.
Familiarity with these requirements before
installation is essential. Some important
considerations to discuss with local building
offi cials include:
1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical
Code, State or Regional Gas Codes, National
Fuel Gas Code).
2. Local amendments
3. Recognized testing lab: OMNI-Test Labo-
ratories Inc.; Beaverton, Oregon
4. Is a permit required - cost?
5. In some states or municipalities, a licensed
gas fi tter or plumber may be required to
install these appliances. Check with your
local building offi cial for requirements in your
area (i.e. Is a license required for installation
of gas supply line)?
FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: When installing these appliances
into a factory built fi replace or heatform, the air
fl ow within and around the fi replace shall not
be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.
DO NOT BLOCK louvers or cooling air inlet or
outlet ports, circulating air chambers in a steel
fi replace liner or metal heat circulator).
CAUTION: The factory built fi rebox must accept
the insert without modifi cation
other than
removing bolted or screwed together pieces
such as smoke shelf / defl ectors, ash lips,
screen or door tracks, log grates, refractory and
damper assemblies. Any fi replace component,
which is removed, must be retained so they
can be reinstalled to restore the fi replace to
its original operating condition. The removal
of any part must not alter the integrity of the
outer shell of the pre-engineered fi replace
cabinet in any way.
If any components are removed from (or
altered) from the existing fi replace, a Warning
Label (see below) must be affi xed inside the
fi replace fi rebox, so that it shall be visible
upon removal of the fi replace insert. Note:
RTV high temperature silicone is an approved
adhesive.
