7 Installation Preparation

Prepare the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built non-combustible firebox for installation.

A. Inspection and Cleaning

Prior to installing the gas insert:

•Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and cleaned by qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals, or technicians under the direction of certi- fied professionals, conduct a minimum of a NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

•Replace component parts of the chimney and fireplace as specified by the professionals.

•Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured.

•Ensure combustible mantel and surround clearances comply with applicable codes and regulations for solid- fuel fireplaces. In the absence of local or regional codes, refer to NFPA 211.

•Ensure chimney is constructed of non-combustible materials.

•Ensure chimney is clean and in good working order.

•Ensure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly to prevent air leakage into chimney.

B. Flue Damper

Fully lock the solid fuel fireplace’s flue damper in the open position, OR completely remove it.

C. Gas Line

Note: If the factory built fireplace has no gas access hole provided, an access hole of 1 inch (25 mm) diameter or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship - like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

•Install gas line into firebox cavity.

•Check local codes and gas line sizing requirements following NFPA54. See Section 8.

D. Hearth or Hearth Extension

WARNING! Risk of Fire! A hearth or hearth extension (if present) must comply with either of the following:

•The solid fuel burning fireplace manufacturer’s specification.

•Local building codes required by authority having jurisdiction.

•NFPA 211

E. Fireplace Conversion Notice

Permanently attach the label with the following warning to the inside lower back of the fireplace firebox into which the insert is being installed. Silicone or mechanical fasteners may be required to properly secure the label.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! This fireplace has been con- verted for use with a gas fireplace insert only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

F. Electrical Outlet Box

An outlet box may be installed in a bottom back corner of the fireplace to permit fans or other optional accessories to be used. Alternatively, the supplied power cord may be routed out onto the hearth to a nearby outlet.
