Hearth Installation
A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 for minimum dimensions and mounting detail.
NOTE: Hearth Extension must not cover the air inlet/outlet opening of a fireplace.
The hearth extension described in Figure 24 must be a durable noncombustible material with a minimum (to- tal) Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 25 for examples. The overall height (above a combustible floor), depth and width must be as indicated, with the extension centered to the fireplace opening.
The top of insulation must be covered with a noncom- bustible decorative covering or a piece of .018” mini- mum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material. (Fig. 24)
CWC Series Woodburning Fireplace
Secure the hearth extension to the floor to prevent shift- ing, using trim molding or other similar means at three
(3)outer edges. Seal crack between the fireplace hearth and hearth extension with a noncombustible material. (Figs. 22 and 26)
WARNING: HEARTH EXTENSION MUST BE IN- STALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIGURE 24 AND MUST NOT COVER THE BOTTOM FRONT OPENING OF THE CIRCULATING MODEL.
Alternate noncombustible materials may be used provid- ing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the alter- nate material employed is greater than or equal to R =
1.09.Thermal resistance (R) or thermal conductivity (K), may be obtained from manufacturer of the material. Fac- tors are related by the formula K = 1/R.
T = given thickness
R = thermal resistance for a given thickness (T) K = thermal conductivity
Noncombustible material with a lower R value may be used, provided thickness of material is sufficiently greater to maintain an equivalent (total) thermal resis- tance (Rt).
