P35i Fireplace Insert

F. Factory-Built Fireplace Installation

When installing the P35i Insert into a factory built wood burning fireplace, several things need to be taken into consideration.

The size of the fireplace opening. Will the unit fit into the opening? Some of the factory built fireplaces have metal smoke shields inside the top that can be removed to gain height. Keep in mind that anything removed from the factory built fireplace must be attached to the fireplace with a metal wire. Floor protection guidelines, as listed previously, must also be followed.

The manufactured fireplace may not be altered be- yond the exceptions listed below. Never remove masonry bricks or mortar from an existing fireplace.

The following modifications are permissible:

•Removal of the damper or lock in open position

•Removal of smoke shelf or baffle

•Removal of andirons or ember catchers

•Removal of log grate

•Removal of view screen or curtain

•Removal of doors

•External trim pieces, that do not affect the operation of the fireplace, may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

•If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be supported.

•Final approval of this type of installation is contingent upon the authority having jurisdiction.

Hearth must be constructed to the proper height and finished with a non-combustible material.

The factory built chimney must be listed per UL 127 (US) and meet type HT requirements of UL 103 (US). Factory Built fireplace chimneys tested to UL 127-98 may be, at the fireplace manufacturers option, tested to the same criteria as UL 103HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top. Liner must meet high temperature (2100 F) per UL1777 (US). The liner must be securely attached to both the flue collar and the chimney cap. To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal the damper area around the chimney liner with fiberglass batting.

IN CANADA: This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of a minimum 3" diameter extending from the insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC- S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.

When using single-wall

venting or flex,this section

of venting must be wrapped

with a non-combustible

insulation to prevent excess

temperatures within the

fireplace and on the fuel

hopper.

Note: If the Harman P35i Insert is installed into a factory built wood burning fireplace, this label (Harman part # 3-90-00675) must be attached to the altered fireplace.
