HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a
minimum of 12" beyond each side of fireplace opening is required
to protect combustible floor construction in front of fireplace. Fabri-
cate a hearth extension using a material which meets the following
specifications: a layer of noncombustible, inorganic material having a
thermal conductivity of k=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at 1" thick.
For example, if the material selected has a k factor of 0.25, such as
glass fiber, the following formula would apply:
0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required
0.84
Thermal conductivity "k" of materials can be obtained from manufac-
turer or supplier of noncombustible material. If hearth extension is
to be covered, use noncombustible material such as tile, slate, brick,
concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means to prevent
hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between fireplace frame
and hearth extension with a noncombustible material (see Figure 6).
WARNING: Hearth extension is to be installed only
as shown in Figure 6.

Models) of fireplace opening. Combustible materials above 12" (36"
Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) and projecting more than 1

fireplace must not be placed less than 15" (36" Models) or 21" (42/50"
Models) from the top opening of the fireplace (NFPA 211, Section -
Clearance from Combustible Material).
Mantels or any other combustible material also may come up to side
edge of black metal face of fireplace as long as projections from front
face fall within limit shown in Figure 7.
