STEP 18 - Installing the Firescreen.

Attach the firescreen to the fireplace side, utilizing the [2] hairpin clips in the columns. Use pliers to insert the clip through the last strand of screen wire and into the hole at the midpoint of the fireplace side.

STEP 19 - Installing the Glass Doors.

If desired, or required by local building codes, install the glass doors using the instructions supplied with the particular set of doors you have chosen.

STEP 20 - Positioning the Hearth Extension.

Position and secure the hearth extension over the protective metal strips that have been placed partially under the firebox front. See Figure 19. These strips should be protruding approximately two inches from under the fireplace front. Seal the crack between the hearth extension and fireplace with a non-com- bustible sealant.

STEP 21 - Applying Finishing Materials on the Hearth Extension.

Apply the non-combustible finishing material of your choice to the hearth extension. Do not install com- bustible materials over the black face of the fire- place This poses a safety hazard and may start a structure fire. You may only use non-combustible material over the black face of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 7 for combustible material information.

Do not cover or restrict any of the louvered openings on the front face of the BW36C Fireplace. Restricting or covering the louvered opening will create a safety hazard and may start a structure fire.

G. CONSTRUCTING A CHASE

A chase is a vertical box-like enclosure built around the chimney and firebox. A chase may be constructed for the fireplace and chimney or for the chimney only. It is most commonly constructed on an outside wall.

In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase floor be insulated using batt type insulation between the floor joists.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 20.
