Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult

to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is

recommendedthattheinstallerbeaqualifiedor

certified “tradesman” familiar with commonly

accepted fireplace installation and safety tech-

niques as well as prevailing local codes.

These fireplaces have been tested and listed

by Warnock Hersey (Report No. J9902-

5865C-231) to U.L. standard 127. These units

are intended for installation in residential

homes and other buildings of conventional

construction including commercial, not in

mobile homes.

The most important areas of concern dealing

with the installation of factory-built fireplaces

areclearancestocombustiblematerials,proper

assembly of component parts, height of the

chimney system, the proper use of accesso-

ries supplied by the manufacturer and the

techniques employed in using finishing mate-

rials applied to the wall surrounding the fire-

place, hearthextensionsandwallshields. Each

of these topics will be covered in thorough

detail throughout this manual. Please give

each your special attention as you progress

with your installation.

When complete these fireplace systems con-

sists of five basic “sub-systems”:

1. The Fireplace

2. The Chimney and Termination

3. The Optional Glass Doors

4. The Optional Combustion Air Kits

5. Optional Cold Climate Kit (Mandatory in

Canada).

These fireplaces have been tested for installa-

tion in Canada to ULC-S610. For installations

in Canada, the chimney clearance to com-

bustibles must be 2 inches and the Cold

Climate Kit must be installed.

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT

REQUIREMENTS

The fireplace may be placed on or near normal

construction materials*. The combustion air kit,

firestop spacer and roof flashing (not chase

flashings) may be placed directly on or against

normal construction materials.* The chimney

requires a minimum 2" air space clearance to

combustibles. The fireplace outer wrapper

requires a minimum 1" air space clearance to

combustibles. A combustible mantle may be

installed12"abovetheopeningofthefireplaceas

per NFPA 211, Section 7-2.3.3. In Canada, the

minimum is 18" above the fireplace opening.

These fireplace systems are designed for in-

stallation in accordance with the National Fire

Protection Standard for chimneys, fireplaces

and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211

and in accordance with codes such as the

BOCA Basic/National Codes, the Standard Me-

chanicalCodeandtheUniformBuildingCodes.

Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure con-

Refer to Figure 2 for a typical chase configura-

tion. As with all chimney installations, avoid

overhead obstructions such as trees, power

lines, etc. A chase should be constructed and

insulated just like any outside wall. In a cold

climate, we recommend the base of the chase

should also be insulated between the solid

continuous floor beneath the fireplace and the

chase bottom. Chase insulation in a cold cli-

mate installation is not required for safety.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

Metal Safety Strip

Platform

Floor

The fireplace may be installed directly on a

combustible floor or raised on a platform of an

appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on

carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It

may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply-

wood, particle board or other hard surfaces.

Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous

floor or platform with appropriate framing for

support and so that no cold air can enter the

room from under the fireplace.

INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE

Note: Hearth extensions must not interfere with

circulating grillwork

Step 1. Slide the fireplace into prepared fram-

ing or position fireplace in its final position and

frame later.

Figure 7

Note: Install the hearth extension only as illus-

trated.

The fireplace may not be recessed into a com-

bustiblefloor.Maintainthefloortohearthclear-

ance established by the fireplace lower front

face.

The safety strips should extend from front of

the fireplace at least 1 ¹⁄₂" and should extend to

be at least flush with the sides. In the event a

wooden support is used to elevate the fireplace

abovethefloor,a“Z”typesafetystripshouldbe

fabricated and used to protect the front surface

ofthewoodsupportaswellasthefloorbeneath

the hearth extension (Figures 8 and 9 ). The

safety strips should be tacked down to prevent

possible movement.

The fireplace may be positioned and then the

framing built around it, or the framing may be

constructed and the fireplace positioned into

the opening.

Step 2. Insert the provided metal safety strips,

beneaththefireplaceasillustrated(Figures6, 7

and 8 ). The safety strips should overlap ¹⁄₂" for

continual coverage of the floor.

Usually, no special floor support is needed for

the fireplace, however, to be certain:

Note: Safety strips are not required when fire-

place rests on a noncombustible surface.

Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not supplied.

Figure 17

Note: The nailing tabs and the area directly

behind the nailing tabs are exempt from the

clearances described on page 5. Maintain at

least 1/2" clearance from the firebox wrapper to

the framing at the closest point of contact,

directly adjacent to the flange.

Figure 19

Note: If the fireplace is installed against an

inside wall, the class 0 air duct may be ex-

tended into a ventilated attic space at least 18"

(475mm) above the attic floor. Secure the air

inlet hood to a vertical post with the inlet

positioned downward. Ensure that nothing

blocks the hood opening. This hood must

never terminate higher than three (3) feet

below the termination.

For Canadian Installations

A cold Climate Kit FTF8-CCK2-LD must be

installed. CCK2 kits are available from

FireCraft through your local dealer. Installer

must supply suitable length of 6" Diameter,

class "0" metallic air duct.

Proceed with Steps 5 through 8

Step 8. Cut or frame a hole through the outside

wall for the installation of the air inlet hood. A

6-1/2"diameterholeisrequired. Feedtheloose

end of the flexible duct through the hole and

attach to the collar on the air inlet hood using

two (2) screws from the kit's hardware pack-

age. Insert the hood into the opening. Secure

the inlet hood in place with nails driven through

the holes in the flange. Seal with noncombus-

tible waterproof silicon type caulking.
