Side Wall Protection, Hearth Installation

Vermont Castings EWF30

Side Wall Protection

Adjacent combustible side walls that are within mini- mum dimensions shown in Figure 25 of the ﬁreplace opening must be protected with CFM Corporation Wall Shield Model SP40 or a speciﬁcally built wall shield described in Figure 20.

The special wall shield design described in Figure 20 is an alternate method of adding protection to side walls and can be used in place of the SP40 with the same wall clearances speciﬁed for the SP40. Rt must =1.85 minimum.

Examples of wall shield insulation:

1. Manville - CERAFORM 126, K=.27, 1/2 inches thick

2. EH2416, K = .458,

1 inch thick required.

Hearth Installation

A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible ﬂoor in front of the ﬁreplace. Refer to Figure 26 for mini- mum dimensions and mounting detail.

NOTE: Hearth Extension must not cover the air inlet opening of a ﬁreplace.

The hearth extension described in Figure 26 must be a durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total) Rt value of 1.09; see Figure 24 for examples. The over- all height (above a combustible ﬂoor), depth and width must be as indicated, with the extension centered to the ﬁreplace opening.

The top of insulation must be covered with a non-com- bustible decorative covering or a piece of .018” mini- mum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material. (Fig. 26)

Secure the hearth extension to the ﬂoor to prevent shifting, using trim molding or other similar means at three (3) outer edges. Seal crack between the ﬁreplace hearth and hearth extension with a noncombustible material. (Figs. 25 and 26)

WARNING: Hearth extension must be installed in accordance with Figure 25. Top of hearth extension must be level with bottom of ﬁreplace.

Alternate noncombustible materials may be used providing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the alternate material employed is greater than or equal to R = 1.09 Thermal resistance (R) or thermal conductivity (K), may be obtained from manufacturer of the material. Factors are related by the formula K = 1/R. (Fig. 24)

T = given thickness

R = thermal resistance for a given thickness (T) K = thermal conductivity

Noncombustible material with a lower R value may be used, provided thickness of material is sufﬁciently greater to maintain an equivalent (total) thermal resis- tance (Rt).

Example of Determining Hearth Extension Equiva- lents

To determine the thickness required for any new mate- rial:

NEW	K of new material (per inch)		thickness
required =		X	of listed

thickness	K of listed material (per inch)		material

Example for Common Brick

T (new) = 5.0/0.458 x 0.50 in. = 5.46 in. (new required thickness).
