Chimney Enclosure

Construct a box-like framed structure to enclose the fireplace and chimney within the confines of the manufactured home, not necessarily above the roof line.

As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc. The chimney/fireplace enclosure should be constructed and insulated just like any outside wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base of the chimney/fireplace enclosure should also be insulated between the solid continuous floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom. Insulation in a cold climate installation is not required for safety.

Note: Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling levels for outside chimney enclo- sure installations. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

WARNING

Do not obstruct the collar open- ings around the base of the chim- ney at the top of the fireplace. Do not insulate the chimney enclosure cavity with blown or fill type insulation materials.

ASSEMBLY OUTLINE

Before You Start

Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good us- able condition. Check also for any concealed damage.

Check the operation of the damper. The damper is controlled through the use of a control lever located within the firebox opening at the top center in front of the firebox lintel (Figure 3). The control lever snaps into place at either extreme of its range of motion. When locked in position all the way to the right, the damper is open. When locked in position all the way to the left, the damper is closed.

LOCATION OF FIREPLACE

Carefully select the proper location for heat circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre- planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches can save considerable time and expense later during construction and assembly.

WARNING

This fireplace and chimney system is not approved for use in a bedroom or any room used for sleeping.

Carefully consider the position of the fireplace opening with respect to the location of adjacent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust fans and/orreturnairregistersforforcedairfurnaces/air conditioners that could cause a smoking fireplace condition if the house is tightly insulated.

When locating the fireplace, consideration must be given to combustibles and final finishing. See Figure 5 and confine the final location of com- bustible finish materials to the "Safe Zone".

DO NOT permanently place furniture or other items such as decorative pillows within 60" of the fireplace front face.
