The inside dimension of the frame must be the same as the hole size selected from Figure 13 in order to provide required the 1¹⁄₂ inches of air space between the outside diameter of the chimney and the edges of the framed ceiling hole.

5. Positioning, Safety Strips, Securing The Fireplace

Slide fireplace into position.

Lift the fireplace front slightly and slide the metal safety strips under front bottom edge about 1¹⁄₂", allowing the remainder to extend in front of firebox. Overlap strips at least 1/2 inch to provide a positive joint. (Flat safety strips are packed with fireplace.) (Fig. 14)

An outside air kit is installed in all SR/SC Series Fireplaces. If desired, or if local codes mandate the use of an air kit, then an AK-MST is required to complete the installation (from air kit to the outdoors). If the outside air kit is to be used, the AK-MST MUST be installed BEFORE the fireplace is enclosed. Refer to the AK-MST instructions for field installation.

Safety strips are used to ensure that any combustible materials in front of the fireplace are protected even though a non-combustible hearth extension is re- quired.

If fireplace is to be elevated above the floor, a “Z” shaped metal safety strip must be fabricated and used to protect combustible surfaces in front of the fireplace. This “Z” shaped safety strip is not provided but must be fabricated of metal with each horizontal leg at least 1¹⁄₂ inches wide and equal in length to the metals strips provided with the fireplace.
