Fireplace Installation selecting location To determine the safest and most efficient location for the fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines: 1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 4 and 5). 2. Consider a location where fireplace will not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. 3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. 4.
Fireplace Installation Continued Hearth Extension Mantels A mantel may be installed if desired (see Figure 7). Woodwork such as wood trims, mantels or any other combustible material projecting from front face must not be placed within 12" (36" Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) of fireplace opening.
Venting Installation Optional Outside air Kit (Model ak4/ak4f) The installation of an outside air kit should be performed during the rough framing of the fireplace due to the nature of it's location. Outside combustion air is accessed through a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a sidewall (AK4). CAUTION: Combustion air inlet ducts shall not terminate in attic space. The maximum height for the air vent can not exceed 3 feet below the flue gas outlet of the termination.
Venting Installation Continued Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above, making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney upward after locking.

Venting Installation Continued 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. 17" Min. 30" Min. 1" Min. 1" Min. 1" Min.

Venting Installation Continued Terminations/Spark Arrestor The fireplace system must be terminated with the listed round top or chase terminations. In any case, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the termination. CAUTION: Do not seal openings on the rooftop flashing. Follow the installation instructions provided with the termination being used. Stainless Inner Flue Pipe Secure Termination to Outer Pipe with 3 Screws 24" Min. 24" Min.
Optional Gas Line Installation 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. Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate fittings. 1. Remove knockout indentation on refractory or firebrick wall located above 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 21). 2.
Brick Installation Brick Panel Installation IMPORTANT: Installation of brick should be done after the fireplace is placed in a permanent location. The brick housings are already installed on the panels. When installing brick housing panels into fireplace, wear gloves as edges may be sharp. 1. Beginning with left side panel, place panel, bottom edge first, at an angle into fireplace. Secure to bottom of fireplace with screws provided. 2. Install right side as left side in step 1 using screws provided. 3.

Moisten brick surface with damp sponge or spray bottle just prior to application. When bricks are wet, any excess grout mixture on bricks will easily wipe off. 2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, pour seven (4-1/2) cups of water. Add 5 lbs.
Brick Installation Continued INSTALLING FIREPLACE SCREEN 1. Mount screen rod brackets on left and right side of smoke shelf with #8 x 1/2" screws provided (see Figure 26). 2. Slide round end of screen rod into rings at top of screen. Attach one push-on nut to end of rod before attaching last ring of screen. 3. Insert round end of rod into rod bracket on left side of fireplace. 4. Mount flat end of screen rod with #10 x 5/8" to center of smoke shelf (see Figure 26). 5.
Glass Door Installation Continued Installing glass doors Spring clips have been installed. Some adjustments may be needed. Install doors using the following steps: 1. With bifold 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. 2. Repeat step 1 for remaining door.
Operation and Maintenance Guidelines 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 31). 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.
Operation and Maintenance Guidelines Continued 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 32). Damper Weight The outside air kit lever is located at the left and right hand sides of fireplace (see Figure 33).
