INSTAllATION

SuRROuNd INSTAllATION 

To  install  the  surround  on  the  insert,  make  sure  the 

ratcheting brackets are in their forward most position. Lift 

the surround over the primary air control rod and set the 

spring loaded washers over the cast ratchet brackets and 

allow the threaded stud to slide into the notch as shown 

in 

Figure 22

.

Once both sides are securely attached to the ratchet brack-

ets gently start sliding the surround back towards the wall 

making sure to keep both sides even. Pushing directly in 

front of the brackets will help keep the surround straight.
To  remove  the  surround  from  the  insert,  simply  lift  the 

surround straight up until it becomes free of the brackets. 

Remember to slide the brackets to their forward most posi-

tion before trying to install the surround again.

INSTAllATION  INTO  A  MASONRY  FIRE-

plACE

The best installation is the complete relining of the chimney 

system using a 6" listed stainless steel liner. The liner must 

be attached to the insert and to each section of the liner 

with  the  crimped  (male)  end  pointing  toward  the  insert. 

All connections should be secured with a minimum of 3 

screws, this includes the flue collar.

NOTE: Canadian installations require a full reline of 

the chimney.

The next type of installation is a direct connection to the 

first flue liner in accordance with the requirements of the 

NFPA 211. Secure the fireplace damper in the open posi-

tion or remove it. Seal the area around the starter pipe 

and the damper opening with high temp sealant and or 

sheet metal.

The chimney should be inspected for cracks, loose mortar 

and any other signs of deterioration or blockage. Always 

check  with  your  local  building  code  agency  before  you 

begin  your  installation  to  ensure  compliance  with  local 

codes, including the need for permits and any follow up 

inspections.
