Installing the Accentra Insert into an existing factory built wood burning fireplace

When installing the Accentra 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? Many of these units have metal smoke shields inside the top that can be removed to gain height. Often the side and rear refractory can be removed to gain depth and width.

Some factory built fireplaces have a firebox that is lower than the opening. Many have a bottom lip that is higher than the hearth. This is an issue with the Harman Accentra Insert since we do not have any- thing to fill the space between the bottom of the unit and the hearth. It would be the responsibility of the installer to supply something to fill this space and be strong enough to support the front of the insert.

As for the size and position of the existing chim- ney and its damper system, the Harman Accentra In- sert has a swivel style flue stub that will allow the stain- less steel flex pipe to exit into most factory built fire- places.
