FLOOR PROTECTION

If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 20 inches in front of, and 12 inches either side of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 9, an H2068 hearth extension kit or a locally constructed equivalent to the H2068.

The H2068 hearth extension kit consists of sufficient insulation board to cover the 20" x 68" floor area with ˚ inch layer of insulation. A 20" x 68" piece of galvanized steel is included in the kit to cover the insulation before a finishing layer of noncombustible material of stone, brick, tile, etc., is applied to finish the hearth extension.

The insulation used in the H2068 hearth extension has a thermal conductivity (K factor) of 0.43. If you do construct a hearth extension equivalent to the H2068, be sure the insulation you use has enough compressive strength to support the weight of the covering materials and persons standing on it, and insulating qualities equal to or better than the 1/2" covering provided by the H2068.

NOTE: A hearth extension placed on a combustible floor must be constructed with rigid insulation which has a minimum "R" value of 1.16 or a "K" value of 0.43. The insulation must be covered with a non-combustible covering such as a tile stone, marble, or a piece of 0.018 minimum sheet metal which is needed to protect the insulation. Follow instructions provided with the fireplace for all other specifications and directions for proper installation of the fireplace and hearth extension.
