Country Flame Fireplace FP33 Concrete PAD & Hearth Extensions, Outside Wall PAD Installation

STEP 2 – CONCRETE PAD & HEARTH EXTENSIONS

Determine whether the fireplace is to be installed on an outside wall or an inside wall. The clearances for an inside wall installation differ from an outside wall installation. The type of wall installation will impact the size of the concrete pad and hearth extension to be poured. Ensure conformance to all local building codes. Void areas are often provided in

the base to form an air passage for external combustion air (recommended), or an opening for an ash pit or for both. Any nonessential void areas below the hearth should be filled to avoid unwanted air leakage into the furnace. Immediately above the foundation or foundation walls, pouring a concrete pad and creating the required hearth extension will create support for the fireplace furnace and allow an interface to the floor joists. Corbelling may be used to support the hearth extension, but a poured concrete slab, that also supports the fireplace furnace, usually is used to create a hearth extension. Forming the concrete pad requires “block outs” for external combustion air dampers (recommended.) Forming the concrete pad requires an interface with the ash dump provided in the Smart Fireplace Furnace. The concrete pad ash dump block out should be larger than the opening provided for the ash dump in the bottom of the fireplace furnace floor. If a Smart Fireplace Furnace is to be ducted down to a lower level, then include block outs in the concrete pad for the hot air ducting. Refer to FIGURE 3 for a typical outside wall fireplace furnace installation and refer to FIGURE 4 for a typical inside wall fireplace furnace installation. Note that both drawings include block outs for down duct capability.

Use of non-combustible forms will be required for the concrete pad since removal of these forms will not be possible once the concrete pour is complete. Corrugated galvanized sheet metal can be used for the concrete pad form to eliminate any future fire hazard. NOTE: ALL combustible forms used in the hearth extension and concrete pad must not be left in place once the concrete pour is complete. The concrete pad must be a minimum of eight inches thick and be capable of resisting thermal stresses resulting from high temperatures. Check local building codes and specific requirements in order to define the proper thickness requirement of the concrete pad and hearth extension for your specific fireplace furnace application.

Hearth extensions must be constructed of noncombustible materials. A U.L. listed hearth extension may be used or the hearth extension can be a continuation of the poured concrete pad.
