B. Finishing Material

•Combustible Material

Material which is made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or any material capable of igniting and burning, whether flame proofed or not, plastered or not plastered.

•Non-Combustible Material

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,

Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750° C, shall be considered non-combustible materials.

•Non-Combustible Sealant Material

Sealants which will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar #63 (or equivalent).

After completing the framing and applying the facing material (drywall) over the framing, a bead of non-combustible seal- ant must be used to close off any gaps at the top and sides between the fireplace and facing to prevent cold air leaks. Large gaps can be bridged with fiberglass rope gasket.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the metal fireplace front.

WARNING

Fire Risk

•Use only non-combustible material below standoffs.

•Material such as cement board is acceptable.
