G. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Fireplace

R

•The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built fire- box in order to gain minimum insert opening requirements.

•Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed from a factory-built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fas- teners.

•The metal fl oor of the factory-built fi replace may be removed to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4 (6mm) inch airspace is provided between the insert and the fl oor of outer wrap.

•This should have prior approval from authority having juris- diction. Upon removal, the factory built fi replace is no longer considered a UL 127 Listed fi replace, only a metal box.

•Ensure the metal box is supported to hold weight of the chim- ney and the insert. Maintain clearances to combustibles.

The following is only one example as there are many different models of factory-built fireplaces.

Starter hole

Mark area of floor to cut

Figure 12.1. Measure and mark the metal fl oor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter hole in each corner.

Figure 12.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the floor.

Figure 12.3. Using a saws-all, cut out the floor.

In Figure 2.3 Ensure that the power cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal edge. You may need to cut out a notch to accommodate the cord.

NOTE: If the fl oor is made of thin metal, we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4 may need to be cut to the appropriate size. Ensure that the leveling bolt is positioned over the 2 x 4 before level- ing the insert.

H.Altering the Factory-Built Fireplace

•The fireplace must not be altered, except for the exceptions listed below. Do not removal the bricks and mortar from the existing fi replace.

The following modifi cations are premissible:

•Removal of damper or locked in open position

•Removal of smoke shelf or baffle

•Removal of ember catches

•Removel of fi re grate

•Removal of view screen/curtain

•Removal of doors

•External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fi replace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

•The permanent metal warning label provided must be attached to the back of the fi replace, with screws or nails, stating that the fi replace may have been altered to accommodate the insert, and the fi replace must be returned to original condition befor use as a conventional fi replace. Figure 12.4.

•If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be supported.

•Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be ordered from your dealer.

•Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon the authority having jurisdiction.

NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for rec- ommendations on supporting the liner. Installation into fireplaces without a permit will void the listing
