HEARTH ExTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of

20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond each side of the fireplace opening is required to protect combustible floor construction in front of the fireplace. Fabricate 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 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 the hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between the fireplace frame and hearth extension with a noncombustible material (see Figure 3).

MANTELS

A mantel may be installed if desired (see

Figure 4). Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels or any other combustible material projecting from the front face must not be placed within 12" of the fireplace opening.

Combustible materials above 12" and pro-

1 / jecting more than 1

2

" from the fireplace must not be placed less than 15" from the top opening of the fireplace (NFPA STD 211,

Sec. 7-3.3.3).

Mantels or any other combustible material also may come up to the side edge of the black metal face of the fireplace just as long as the projection from the front face fall within the limit shown in Figure 4.

CHIMNEY PIPE

The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snaplock, double-wall pipe segments, planned for maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into consideration (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 6). Lineal Gain is the actual measurable length of a part after two or more parts are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT".

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.

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, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first with lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be installed over the flue pipe section with hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe section until lances securely engage hem on fireplace starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing between inner and outer pipe sections.

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 the joint between chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the chimney together (exception, see Figure 9, page 9).

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)

Firestop spacers are required at each point where the chimney penetrates a floor space.

Their purpose is to establish and maintain the required clearance between the chimney and the combustible materials. When the pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above, the firestop must be placed onto ceiling from below as shown in Figure 10.

They also provide complete separation from one floor space to another or attic space as required by most codes. When the double wall pipe passes through a framed opening into an attic space, the firestop must be placed into an attic floor as shown in Figure 11.

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.

1. Determine the center point through which pipe will penetrate roof.

2. Determine the 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" one measure horizontally down from the roof rafters.

3. Use the roof opening chart (Figure 12) to determine the correct opening length and flashing required.

4. Remove shingles around the opening measured. Cut out this section.

5. Add next sections of pipe until the end penetrates roof line. Check to see that the proper clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by adding sections of double wall pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above the highest point of the roof cutout.

Termination and chimney must extend a minimum of 36" above the highest point where it passes through the roof.

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with the 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 24).

A fireplace equipped with 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 the 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 the fireplace and glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in firebox.

IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. The tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to

550° F, 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 the fire well back from the doors and never allow flames to contact the glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors should be operated only with doors fully opened or doors fully closed. Doors, if left partly open, may draw gas and flame out of the fireplace opening creating risks of both fire and smoke.

Cleaning Glass

Clean 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 the fire and smoke.

A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed for the purpose of installing a vented or ventfree decorative gas appliance incorporating an automatic shutoff device and complying with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI

Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft requirements for Gas Fired Log Lighters for

Wood Burning Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated

August, 1993.

If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free) gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which have been found to comply with the standard for unvented room heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2 are to be installed in this fireplace.

OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER

HANDLE OPERATION

The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, is located in the upper front face of the fireplace. Pushing the handle forward and up through the keyway slot will free damper blade to automatically open. Pushing the handle forward and down will lock damper blade closed (see Figure 25).

The outside air kit lever is located at the left and right hand sides of fireplace (see Figure

26). Lifting lever up will free the outside air door to open. Pulling lever down will lock the door.
