B. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run on the outside of a building may be, but are not re- quired to be, installed inside a chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build- ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require- ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out- side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob- lems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling firestops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.

These wood-burning fireplaces are engineered with cutting-edge technologies that ensure efficient and environmentally friendly heating, making them popular choices for homeowners seeking both functionality and aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Cyclone series is its innovative air wash system.

In terms of efficiency, the Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN models boast an exceptional thermal efficiency rating. Thanks to their advanced combustion technology, these fireplaces burn wood more completely, resulting in less smoke and harmful emissions. The high-efficiency design not only benefits the environment but also ensures that heat is maximized, helping to lower heating costs for homeowners.

The construction of the Cyclone fireplaces is another highlight. Built with high-quality materials, these units are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and maintain their performance over time. Their robust firebox is engineered to accommodate larger logs, offering longer burn times and fewer reloads.

Both models are highly versatile in their aesthetic appeal. The Cyclone-BC features a classic, traditional design that fits seamlessly into a variety of home decors, while the Cyclone-BN leans toward a more contemporary style. Homeowners can customize the look even further with different finishing options, allowing for a personalized touch that complements their unique interior settings.

Safety is paramount in the design of the Cyclone series. These fireplaces come equipped with advanced safety features, including a protective screen and secure door latch, providing peace of mind for families. Additionally, the heat output can be easily controlled, allowing users to adjust the flame and temperature to their desired comfort level.

In conclusion, Hearth and Home Technologies’ Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN fireplaces deliver on both performance and style. With efficient heating capabilities, innovative technologies, and a range of design options, these wood-burning units are an exceptional choice for those looking to enhance their living space while enjoying the warmth and ambiance that only a real fire can provide.
