It must be installed be- tween ceiling joists, with radiation shield and roof flashing, so that the structural strength, insulation and waterproof quali- ties of the home are not lessened. Seal with silicone to maintain a vapour barrier at the chimney and outside air pipe penetrations.
OUTSIDE AIR
Connection from the stove's air intake to the outside is man- datory in mobile homes only, either through a hole in the wall to line up with the knockout in the pedestal back, or through a hole in the floor to line up with the hole in the pedestal base. Use a fresh air kit. Secure the 4 inch diam- eter aluminum liner by flaring the end once it is inserted through the
If room air starvation occurs because the fresh air intake is blocked with ice, leaves, etc., or because the stove door was left open, or due to a strong exhaust fan operating etc., dangerous fumes and smoke from the operating stove could be drawn into the room.
FIREPLACE INSERT
Your EPI 1101 and 1401 insert firebox is the exact duplica- tion of the
The EPI 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 16 1/2 to 21 inches deep, 28 1/2 inches wide and 21 1/2 inches high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m).
Your EPI 1401 fireplace insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 14 inches deep 26 inches wide and 22 inches high with an approved lined chim- ney at least 15 feet high (4.6m). This minimum recess can
only be achieved if the opening height is sufficient enough to allow the connector to fit under the noncombustible facing.
The fireplace and chimney must be constructed in accord- ance with all national and local building code standards.

HINT FOR INSTALLING PORCELAIN ENAMEL INSERTS:
Ensure the base of the porcelain side panels are protected from rubbing against the hearth when sliding your insert into the masonry fireplace.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Clean all ashes out of the inside of the fireplace. Make sure that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any repair work done by a qualified professional before installing the insert.
Do NOT remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In case of an outside air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiberglass insu-
lation. Adhere to minimum clearances as shown in FIGURE | |||

Combustible material must not protrude more that 1" to the side of the insert or between the mantle and the top of the insert.
INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY
FIREPLACE
1.Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently open.
* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
2.*Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cover); cut a six- inch (6.75”) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow two inches of material for a flange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the flanges into the
fireplace. FIGURE 13.

FIGURE 13 | MODEL 1401 Illustrated |
In Canada: Install a listed 6 inch diameter flexible stain- less steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insert flue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the flue collar. Fasten with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap us- ing a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.
