WARNING

Failure to use manufacture provided parts, variations in techniques and construction materials or practices other than those described in this manual may create a fire hazard and void the limited warranty.

AVERTISSEMENT

L’échec d’utiliser la fabrication les parties fournies, les variations dans les techniques et le matériel de construction ou les pratiques autre que ceux-là ont décrit dans ce manuel peut créer un risque d’incendie et un vide la garantie limitée.

When complete these fireplace systems consists of five basic “sub-systems”:

1.The Fireplace

2.The Chimney and Termination

3.The Optional Glass Doors

4.The Optional Outside Air Kits

5.The Optional Weather Cover (for outdoor installations)

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT

REQUIREMENTS

The fireplace may be placed on or near normal construction materials*. The outside air kit, firestop spacer and roof flashing (not chase flashings) may be placed directly on or against normal construction materials. **

A combustible mantel may be installed 12" above the opening of the fireplace as per NFPA 211-latest edition. In Canada, the minimum is 18" above the fireplace opening.

*In the USA, the chimney and fireplace outer wrapper require a minimum 1" air space to insulation and construction materials.

*Outdoor installations less than 15’ height require chimney clearance of 2” air space to insulation and construction materials.

*In Canada, the chimney and fireplace outer wrapper require a minimum 2" air space to insulation and construction materials.

**Construction Materials:

•Framing Materials • Paneling

• Particle Board

• Flooring

• Dry Wall

• Plywood

•Noncombustible Insulating Materials

•Etc.

INDOOR INSTALLATIONS - The minimum installed height of the completed fireplace system for is 15' 0." The maximum height is 60' 0" (see Table 1).

OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS - The minimum installed height of the completed fireplace system is 7' 9." The maximum height is 60" (see Table 2).

Outdoor installations less than 15’ height require chimney clearance of 2” air space to insulation and construction materials.

The fireplace and chimney system must be enclosed when installed in or passing through a living area where combustibles or people may come in contact with it. This is important to prevent possible personal injury or fire hazard.

For questions, please call your distributor or the manufacturer. Special restrictions apply to the front and facing of the fireplace and nearby walls (See Pages 20, 21 & 22).

CHIMNEY SYSTEM

These fireplaces are designed and code listed for use with Security Chimneys FTF8 chimney System only. Always use Security Chimneys FTF8 chimney components with these fireplaces. Do not modify or alter these components as this may cause a potential serious hazard and void the Warranty.

Chimney Height - Indoor Installations

The total height of your completed fireplace system from the surface the fireplace rests on to the chimney top must not exceed 60' and must also meet minimum height requirements. Refer to the minimum system height chart (see Table 1).

Chimney Height - Outdoor Installations The total height of your completed fireplace system from the surface the fireplace rests on to the chimney top must not exceed 60' and must also meet minimum height requirements. Refer to the minimum system height chart (see Table 2).

￿Notes (Table 2)

•Outdoor fireplace system less than 15 feet height must have a chimney clearance of 2” air space to insulation and construction materials and be a minimum of 10 feet away from a building or combustible structure. The 10 foot rule applies on all cases (see ten foot rule summary on Page 15).

•The system height may be reduced to a single length of FTF8-48 pipe and termination with the FTF8-CTDTM for a minimum height on a complete system of 7' 9." The fireplace must be installed as a Freestanding system and located a minimum of 10' away from any building or structure (refer to Figure 1).

•The minimum height will vary when using other Firecraft or Lennox Terminations.

Chase Enclosure

A chase is a vertical box-like structure constructed to surround the fireplace and chimney. Refer to Figure 4 for a typical chase configura- tion. As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc. A chase should be constructed and insulated just like any outside wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base of the chase should also be insulated between the solid continuous floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom. Chase insulation in a cold climate installation is not required for safety.

Note: Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown or fill type insulation materials.

Note: Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling levels for outside chase installa- tions. However, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

ASSEMBLY OUTLINE

Before You Start

Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check also for any concealed damage.

Check the operation of the damper. The damper is controlled through the use of a control lever located within the firebox opening at the top center in front of the firebox lintel (Figure 3). The control lever snaps into place at either extreme of its range of motion. When locked in position all the way to the right, the damper is open. When locked in position all the way to the left, the damper is closed.
