Hearth Installation
A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 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 24 must be a durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total) Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 25 for examples. The overall height (above a combustible floor), depth and width must be as indicated, with the extension centered to the fireplace opening.
The top of the insulation material must be covered with a noncombustible decorative covering or a piece of
.018” minimum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material. (Fig. 24)
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. 24 and 26)
WARNING: HEARTH EXTENSION MUST BE IN- STALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIGURES 24 AND 25.
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.
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).
