FRAMING
1. Frame opening for fireplace using dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2.
2. If fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible material other than wood flooring, fireplace must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending full width and depth of fireplace. (It is acceptable to cover two outside ends or columns of top louver panel leaving four center columns open).
3. Set fireplace directly in front of this opening and slide unit back until nailing flanges touch side framing.
4. Check level of fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, metal ember protector (provided) must be placed between hearth extension (not supplied) and under bottom front edge of fireplace to protect against glowing embers falling through. If fireplace is to be installed on a raised platform, a Z-type ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required platform height. Ember protector should extend under fireplace a minimum of 1 1 /
2
". The ember protector should be made of metal material.
6. Using screws or nails, secure fireplace to framing through flanges located on sides of fireplace (see Figure 4).
FirePlaCe inStallation

HEARTH ExTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of
16" in front of and a minimum of 8" beyond each side of the fireplace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the fireplace. Use an equal 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 the manufacturer or supplier of the noncombustible material. If the 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 5).
WARNING: Hearth extension is to be installed only as shown in Figure 5.

There are two vent kits available which have been specially designed for common installations in manufactured (mobile) homes: MW8K
(8' vent kit) and MW9K (9' vent kit). Contents of these kits are listed under Accessories on page 18. IMPORTANT: If height of chimney assembly exceeds requirements for transportation of home, chimney installation may be completed after home is sited.
Note: Termination must always be installed after the home is sited.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections must be assembled independently as chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe section must be installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe section can then be installed over flue pipe section with hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until lances securely engage hem on fireplace starter. Wire will assure proper spacing between inner and outer pipe sections.
WARNING: The opening in the collar around the chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.
ADjUSTABLE FIRESTOP THIMBLE
(FST-A)
Adjustable Firestop Thimble Assembly (FST-
A) is used to provide necessary air space and clearance between chimney pipe and insulation in attic space of a manufactured home.
To install thimble assembly, determine distance between ceiling joist and roof framing.
Attach adjustable thimble to firestop spacer so that assembly will cover distance. Adjustable thimble should be even with or above roofline. Sheet metal screws or staples may be used to attach thimble to firestop spacer.
An opening large enough to allow insertion of firestop thimble assembly will be required in ceiling. Attach firestop/thimble assembly to ceiling/ceiling joist using screws or staples as shown in Figure 11. A minimum of 8 screws or staples should be used.
Firestop thimble assembly should also be used where there is a cathedral ceiling, insulation barrier and roof, all in one assembly in a manufactured home (see Figure 11).
The FST-A thimble can be used in any one of three common ceiling pitches; flat, 12"/96" and 30"/144".
An opening big enough to allow insertion of firestop thimble assembly will be required.
This opening depends on the pitch of your ceiling. If your ceiling is a flat or 12"/96" pitch, you must use adapter plate provided to seal unwanted openings. For 30"/144" pitch, discard adaptor.
Roof Line
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making sure that both inner and outer pipe sections are locked together.
When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to assure joint between chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. Chimney will not come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep chimney together
(exception, see Figure 16, page 11).

If adapter is needed, secure it onto firestop using holes provided (see Figure 12). The row of holes on sides of thimble is provided to allow for pitch variances. Position firestop
(top and bottom side) and thimble to desired angle and secure with screws provided. Insert thimble and firestop into prepared opening and secure to ceiling by nailing through firestop flanges. Thimble should be even with or above roofline. Thimble extensions are available (as an option) when required. See
Accessories on page 18. Firestop thimble is not required for modular home application.
Note: If there is a second story in the home, firestop spacer 3600FS-8DM will be required.

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe will penetrate the roof.
2. Determine center point of the roof. Pitch is the distance the roof drops over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the roof drops 6" for each 12" measured horizontally down from roof rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 13) to determine correct opening length and flashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening measured. Cut out this section.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end penetrates roof line. Check to see that proper clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by adding sections of double wall pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above highest point of roof cutout. Termination and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above highest point where it passes through roof.

Gas line hook up should be done by your supplier or a qualified service person.
Note: Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is turned off.
A gas line may be installed for the purpose of installing a vented or vent free appliance available through your local distributor. Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate fittings. When installing a gas line, a shutoff valve designed for installation outside appliance is recommended.
1. Remove knockout indentation on refractory or firebrick wall located above the refractory hearth floor. Knockout indentation must be firmly tapped with any solid object such as a 1/2" dowel until it is released.
Remove fragmented portions of refractory
(see Figure 24).
2. Remove gas line cover plate located on either side of fireplace and pull out insulation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save insulation for reuse. Replace screws.

Combustible materials, such as wallboard, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may make direct contact with sides and top around the fireplace face. It is important that combustible materials do not overlap the face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible materials may overlap the front face provided they do not obstruct essential openings like louvered slots or any other opening. When overlapping with a noncombustible facing material, use only noncombustible mortar or adhesive.
Note: HUD requirements may supersede these minimum dimensions.

GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are standard with fireplace.
When fireplace is in operation, doors must be FULLY OPENED or FULLY CLOSED position only or a fire hazard may be created
(see Figure 27).
A fireplace equipped glass doors operates much differently than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not completely open. The following tips should be followed to assure that both fireplace and glass door retain their beauty and function properly.
Both flue damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting the fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in firebox.
IMPORTANT: Glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. Tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550°
Fahrenheit, which is more than a normal fire will generate.
Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber, and large amounts of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from doors and never allow flames to contact glass.
WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors should be operated only with doors fully opened or fully closed. Doors, if left partly open, may draw gas and flame out of the fireplace opening creating risks of both fire and smoke.

Installing Glass Doors
1. With bi-fold doors completely folded, insert bottom pivot pin into pivot hole located near bottom corner of front face opening and swing door to vertical position making sure top pins slide into door track. Door is installed when top door pin snaps into spring clip (see Figure 28).
2. Repeat step 1 for remaining door.
If you find the doors do not close properly or do not appear level or straight, proceed with section on door adjustment.
Door Adjustment
Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot clips and upper spring clips. Replace doors and fully close them. Use 1/8" shims (any material) to level doors. Once proper setting is achieved, carefully open doors enough so that you can access spring clips with a phillips screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 29.

CLEANING GLASS
Clean the glass with any commercial glass cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean glass with any cool water if glass is still hot from fire and smoke.
DAMPER OPERATION
The damper handle, which opens and closes damper blade, is located inside firebox at center towards back wall. Pushing handle back in keyway slot will free damper blade to automatically open. To close, reach in and push handle back into keyhole slot then pull down and forward to lock it in place (see Figure 30).
Damper is not designed to be airtight. A small gap around damper blade is normal.
