6 Installation Preparation

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

A. Flue Damper

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

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 may be required to properly secure the label.

B. Chimney

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.

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 NFPA51. See Section 8.

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.
