Fireplace Installations -

Through the Fireplace

The Model 2463 heater may be installed either without legs* as a fireplace insert, or with standard legs at- tached - depending on the safety regulations that apply to your situation, the height of the fireplace opening and your own preference. For either situation, the chimney connector/positive connection kit extends back from the stove, enters the fireplace cavity, and turns upward. It then passes through the fireplace damper opening and smoke chamber and connects to the chimney flue.

In such installations, a “positive connection” must be made to the chimney flue with a special kit available from your local dealer. Also, special clearance and floor protection provisions must be observed. These provi- sions are discussed in the Clearance and Floor Protec-

tion sections respectively.

Wall Pass-Throughs

Whenever possible, design your installation so the con- nector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you must use a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin and con- struct it in accordance with local building codes. Also check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements.

Accessories are available for use as wall pass- throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.

All combustible material in the wall is cut away a suffi- cient distance from the single-wall connector to provide the required 12” (305 mm) clearance for the connector. Any material used to close up the opening must be non- combustible.

The following wall pass-through methods may be ap- proved in your area:

•Use a section of listed factory-built chimney with a nine-inch clearance to combustibles.

•Place a chimney connector pipe inside a ventilated thimble, which is then separated from combustibles by 6” (152 mm) of fiberglass insulating material.

•If the stove is installed without legs, we recommend the use of noncombustible tiles or pavers as shims to allow air flow into the convection air inlets under the stove.

Figure 11 illustrates another method in which all com- bustible material in the wall is cut away to provide 18” (457 mm) clearance for the connector. The resulting space must remain empty. Check your local building codes.

NOTE: Do not vent your stove into a factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances and their chimneys are specifically designed as a unit for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt them for any other use.

DO NOT CONNECT THE HEATER TO ANY AIR DIS- TRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
