BC36C/BC36R INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

14.Complete the Enclosure

Complete the fireplace enclosure, allowing space for outside air ducts and gas piping if desired. Electrical wiring should not come in contact with the fireplace. A minimum clearance of 1 in. must be maintained between the fireplace sides and the enclosure as well as the fireplace back and the enclosure. See pages 10-12 for framing details.

Note: Use only a noncombustible material to fin- ish the face of the fireplace below the level of the front standoffs. A noncombustible material such as USG MICORE CV230 Mineral Fiber Board, or USG DUROCK Cement Board is recommended for this purpose.

CAUTION:

When using a gas log set, the fireplace damper must be set in the fully open position. This en- sures proper venting of combustion products.

15.Gas Log/Lighter Provisions

Knockouts are provided on both sides of the fireplace to allow for connection of a certified gas log lighter or a decorative gas appliance with a maximum input of 100,000 BTU/hour, incorporating an automatic gas shut-off device and complying with the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60. The decorative gas appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1980. The side refractories are designed to allow 1/2 in . iron pipe to pass through. Use a noncombustible sealant to seal any opening between the gas pipe and refractory on the inside. Repack the insulation removed to seal around the gas pipe where it exits the side of the fireplace. A minimum 1-1/2 in. air clearance must be provided around the 1/2 in. iron pipe for a minimum of 4 in. beyond the fireplace. See Figure 16.

This fireplace has been set up for installation of the gas pipe on the right hand side. If it is necessary to plumb the fireplace from the left hand side, remove the gas cover plate and gas tube from the right hand side of the fireplace and install on the left hand side. Cover the hole in the right hand side outershell of the fireplace with the cover plate that covered the gas tube.
