PRECAUTIONS Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a qualified or certified “tradesman” familiar with commonly accepted fireplace installation and safety techniques as well as prevailing local codes.
Note: Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown or fill type insulation materials. Insulate Joists Same As Ceiling Note: Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling levels for outside chase installations. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.
Black Portion Of Frame Not To Be Covered With Combustible Materials Wall Covering 20” 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. 45° 1” Door Opening 20” 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.
Note: Safety strips are not required when fireplace rests on a noncombustible surface. FIREPLACE SPECIFICATIONS 15" (381 mm) Note: Install the hearth extension only as illustrated. 7 ¹⁄₈" (181 mm) 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.
Note: The framed depth, 28 ¹⁄₈" (714 mm) from a framed wall, must always be measured from a finished surface. If a wall covering such as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then the framed depth must be measured from the drywall surface. It is important that this dimension be exact. If the appliance is to be elevated above floor level, a solid continuous platform must be constructed. The header may rest on the top metal spacers, but must not be notched to fit around them.
Step 4. Fireplace should be secured to side framing members using the full length nailing tabs at the top and bottom of the fireplace front face. Use 8d nails or equivalent (Figure 17 ). For remodeling, plumb to center of flue collar from ceiling above, drive nail through ceiling from below to mark position, then mark and cut to passage from above ceiling (around nail) (Figure 18 ). Then plumb from ceiling or roof level directly above hole which has just been completed.
Step 4. Note: Chimney sections are constructed with a unique locking tab design, which ensures an immediate, tight assembly between sections. Plan your chimney requirements carefully before assembly as chimney is difficult to disassemble after installation. If disassembled, the tabs might become damaged. Be certain tabs are properly formed to ensure locking tabs engage properly. Security Chimneys FTF10 chimney system is a two piece chimney, which snap together from the fireplace up.
Step 8. The standard Security Chimneys FTF10 roof flashing assemblies include a storm collar. Slide the storm collar over outer chimney, rest on flashing spacers and align with top surface of flashing. Insert tab in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over slot. Seal storm collar to outer chimney with roof caulking or mastic around entire circumference of pipe. Also add extra roof caulking to the tab/slot area to seal completely against water penetration (Figure 29 ).
MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS 3. The effective heights of the components are: If more than one termination is located in the same chase or within the same general proximity, we suggest they should be separated in distance at least 24" horizontally from flue center to flue center and stacked or staggered vertically at least 18" apart, from the termination of one smoke exit to the termination of another smoke exit (Figure 33 ).

Note: See Framing and Dimension Chart for the sizes of the ceiling and roof openings. The size of the roof opening varies with the degree of pitch of the roof. Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any subsequent chimney section following return elbow assembly when installing. Ensure that each subsequent chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted above. Step 2. Install the air inlet eyebrow (FOAK4 or FOAK-4LD) through the wall opening (Figure 40 ).
Vent Free Appliances Glass Doors These units have been tested and approved to ANSI/IAS/AGA Z21.11.2 for use with unvented gas appliances and complies with the standard for Factory-Built fireplaces, UL 127. If glass doors are to be installed on these fireplaces, refer to specific installation instructions packed with the glass doors. Use only the doors that are listed for use with these fireplaces.
Answer using k = 1.59 x 1" = 1.59 1 ¹⁄₂" thickness Micore will be required. Hearth Extensions and Wall Shields A hearth extension must be installed with all fireplaces. It is to protect the combustible floor in front of the fireplace from both radiant heat and sparks. The hearth extension must extend 12" beyond both sides of the fireplace opening and 20" beyond the front (Figure 43 ).
Example: Given that the required “R value” for a suitable hearth extension used must be equal to or greater than: INSTALLATION COMPONENTS The following items are available for use in the installation of this appliance. “R” = r x TL = 3.70 x 1" = 3.70. If it is desired to elevate a marble hearth extension to a level of 5" or more above the floor surface.
