Chase Installation
Instructions for chase installations are included with the chase style termination chosen. However, it is worthy to mention here that in a multiple chase installation, provide adequate distance between terminations, or smoke spillage from one termination to another may occur. We suggest terminations be separated at least 30 inches center to center, and stacked at a vertical height difference of 18 inches vertically from one termination to the other (see Figure 29).

INSTALLING FIREPLACE FACING
Any noncombustible material may be used for facing (glass, tile, brick, etc.) as long as the proper clearances are adhered to and the fireplace openings are not obstructed in any way. Refer to Clearances, page 5, and Figure 30).
Use only heat resistant, noncombustible mortar or adhesive when securing facing material to the front of the fireplace. When placing facing at the upper edge of the effective opening of the fireplace, provide an “L” shaped piece of metal, extending the full width of the opening.
Secure with sheet metal screws at a distance high enough from the edge as to not interfere with the operation of doors. This assures that the facing material, in time, should not block the opening if it where to lose cohesion.
