2. LOCATION IN THE ROOM
The appliance can be installed in the following
constructions:
2.1
Solid fuel (Non-combustible) fireplaces
As supplied, this appliance can be installed as an
inset in an existing solid fuel type fireplace with a
chimney and 3" dia liner (see fig.1a).
The fireplace must be built in accordance with the
national, state provincial or territorial building code
recognized by the authority having jurisdiction, or in
the absence of such a code, in accordance with the
National Building Code of Canada or the National
Fire Protection Association code in the USA The
size of the fireplace recess must be sufficient to
accommodate the appliance case as shown in
fig.1a.
The chimney must be swept and both chimney and
fireplace checked for soundness before installation
of the appliance. The liner must be a type approved
by the enforcing authority and installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The appliance must be installed on a non-
combustible floor. The floor must be sufficiently flat
and level to support the appliance satisfactorily.
Some fireplace constructions have a well in the
floor at the back that may need to be filled in. In the
USA it is mandatory that a hard surfaced non-
combustible hearth area must be maintained at
least 16" in front of the fireplace. This may be
finished in brick, ceramic tile, marble
,
etc. Raising
the hearth slightly will help to minimize dust and lint
accumulation under the unit.
In Canada, though not mandatory, we recommend
that carpet, soft vinyl or other combustible floor
coverings are kept at least 16” from the front of the
furnace since these types of materials may be
affected by the high radiant heat output from this
appliance.
The minimum clearances from any combustible
constructions at the front of the appliance are
shown in fig.1b.
These front clearances apply for
all installations.
2.2
Enclosures constructed with combustible materials
#770ZCK Zero clearance kit must be installed
where the furnace is intended to be in an enclosure
made with wood studding or other combustible
materials.
The enclosure framing requirements are shown in
figures 1c through 1f.
Note that in Canada, though not mandatory, we
recommend that carpet, soft vinyl or other
combustible floor coverings are kept at least 16”
from the front of the furnace since these types of
materials may be affected by the high radiant heat
output from this appliance.
