Installing Top Housing or Termination
Follow the installation instructions provided with the chimney termination you have selected.
Installing Chimney In a Chase
Refer to Page 5, Figure 5 for an illustration of a typical chase installation.
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and construc- tion of chase may vary with type of building. These instructions are not a substitute for local building 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 Firestop Spacers.
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with noncombustible material to prevent cold air leakage into the room. Only noncombustible material may be applied to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black painted area) (Fig. 20)
Finish Wall
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12" (305mm) from the top of the fireplace opening for radiant models and 12" (305mm) from top of grille opening for circulating models. Do not install a mantel face plate less than 6" (159mm) from top of fireplace opening for radiant models and 6" (159mm) from top of grille opening for circulating models. (Fig. 22) If a combustible material is used be- low 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 deco- rative facing material meets fireplace surround must be completely sealed with a noncombustible material. (Figs. 21 and 22)
NOTE: No side wall protection is required for fireplaces installed at 45° 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.
