•The fireplace damper must be sealed to prevent room air from escaping up the flue. However, it must be possible to reopen the damper to inspect or clean the chimney.

Through the Fireplace

If your fireplace opening height is at least 26¹⁄₂" (675mm), you may install an Encore Multi-Fuel through the opening using a “positive connection” kit, available from your local dealer. These positive connection kits ensure a tight fit between the stove flue collar and the chimney flue. (Fig. 8)

Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flue above or through the fireplace opening, have special clearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel.

Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplace installations. Refer to “Floor Protection” section.

Always adhere to local building codes when installing a wall pass-through. Figure 9 shows one recommended method.

All combustible material in the wall must be removed around the single-wall connector to provide clearance that is three times the pipe diameter. Any material used to enclose the opening must be noncombustible.

Figure 9 shows another method of passing a connector through a wall. All combustible material in the wall is cut away to provide the required clearance that is 3x the connector diameter. The resulting space must remain empty. A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers must be used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible spac- ers at least 25 mm (1”) clear of the wall.

DO NOT CONNECT AN ENCORE MULTI-FUEL TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

Wall Pass-Throughs

Whenever possible, design your installation so the con- nector does not pass through a combustible wall. If you are considering a wall pass-through in your installation, check with your building inspector before you begin.

Also, check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements. Some manufacturers make chimney components that may be used as wall pass-throughs. If using one of these, make sure it has been tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.

Hearths

This appliance must be installed on to hearth that meets the requirements of Part J of the Building Regu- lations 2000 (Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems). This can be achieved by ensuring that the hearth is constructed and sized in accordance with the guidelines included in section 2 of approved document ‘J’. The size and clearances of the hearth are as fol- lows:

The constructed hearth should be constructed in ac- cordance with the recommendations in document J, and should be of minimum width 840 mm and minimum depth 840 mm (if a free standing hearth b) above) or a minimum projection of 150 mm from the jamb (if a recessed hearth a) above).

Unless the stove hearth is completely noncombustible, the bottom heat shield should be installed to provide radiant protection for framing which may be below the hearth. (Fig. 11)
