Installation—General
INSTALLATION INTO FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES
In addition to the general instructions presented throughout the manual you must take care to
ensure the following steps are correct when installing this insert into a factory built fireplace.
1) The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL127 or UL S620.
2) All clearances to combustibles must be maintained as shown on the label.
3) The installation must include a full-length liner, which is attached to the insert and to the chimney
cap.
4) Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This
may be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace
front.
5) The airflow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert
(i.e.: no louvers or cooling air outlet ports are blocked).
No alterations of the factory built fireplaces are allowed except as follows:
a) External trim which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing
they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.
b) The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.
6) Circulating air chambers in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator shall not be blocked.
7) Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
8) If the insert protrudes from the front of the fireplace a supporting means must be installed and all
clearance requirements met.
9) A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fireplace stating that the
fireplace must be restored to the original condition for safe use without the insert.
