9 STEPS TO INSTALL A SMART FIREPLACE

STEP 1 - FOOTINGS AND FOUNDATIONS

A Country Flame manufactured fireplace furnace is designed for installation in a masonry fireplace hull in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. Only qualified installation personnel should install the fireplace furnace unit. Qualified installation personnel shall be knowledgeable in fireplace construction, air-handling ductwork, heating systems and both local and national building code requirements. A Country Flame manufactured fireplace furnace

can be connected directly into a home central heat and air conditioning system. This option can add to the efficiency of a home heating system.

A fireplace furnace base consists of all necessary footings and foundation to support the fireplace furnace and concrete masonry foundation fireplace walls. FIGURE 2 shows both a typical above floor grade and a typical floor grade fireplace furnace installation.

The thickness of the concrete footing and concrete foundation will depend on a) local soil pressures, b) the height of your specific chimney, and c) the weight of your chimney material. Select the site for your fireplace and mark the foundation area. Check local building codes to ensure conformance of both the footing and foundation. Table 3 lists the standard dimensions for Smart Fireplace Furnace footing installations:

 

TABLE 3

 

 

Model 33

92” wide x 40” deep x 10” thick

Model 37

96” wide x 40” deep x 10” thick

Model 42

102” wide x 40” deep x 10” thick

NOTES:

1.Table 3 assumes the use of four-inch (4”) concrete masonry unit (CMU) blocks to build the fireplace furnace walls. If a wider CMU block material is used for fireplace wall construction then you must increase the footing to accommodate the change.

2.Table 3 footing depths are adequate for chimney heights up to seventeen feet in standard soil. If the chimney height exceeds seventeen feet or soil pressures are non- standard, increases footing depths at least six inches. Use of reinforced concrete, rebar or steel mesh for stress reduction is recommended. Refer to local building codes.

3.For sandy, loose, or non-standard soil pressures, or for areas that have landfill, Table 3 footing thickness should be increased accordingly. Ensure all local building codes are met. The fireplace furnace foundation must be solid.

4.The CMU foundation wall should end level with the top of the floor joists. Refer to FIGURE 2a. If a floor level installation is planned, then refer to FIGURE 2b, in which case the CMU foundation wall will end below the bottom of the floor joists.

5.Use of a non-combustible H-beam or I-beam may be substituted in the event a combustible header cannot be maintained a minimum distance of 6’8” above a raised hearth.

6.Additional floor protection is not required for installation of the Smart Fireplace Furnace as long as unit is installed per hearth clearances listed in Table 1.
