Installing Chimney In a Chase

Refer to Figure 5, Page 5 for an illustration of a typical chase installation.

CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and con- struction of chase may vary with type of building. These instructions are not a substitute for local build- ing codes. You must check your local building codes to determine specific requirements for your city or state. Note: Other building materials may be required in addition to Vermont Castings, Majestic Products Firestop Spacers.

Finishing

CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with non-combustible material to prevent cold air leakage into the room. Only non-combustible material may be applied to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black painted area) (Fig. 20)

■8. Finish Wall

Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12 inches above the grille opening. If a combustible material is used below a flat mantel shelf, consult your local building codes for minimum clearance from top of fireplace opening to bottom of mantel shelf.

All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or decora- tive facing material meets fireplace surround must be completely sealed with a non-combustible material. (Figs. 21 and 22)

Note: No side wall protection is required for fireplaces installed at 45 degrees to two (2) side walls (corner installation).

Often a decorative surround or vertical portion of the mantel is desired. If this is constructed of any combus- tible material it must be within the safe zone indicated in Figure 23.
