Napoleon Fireplaces EPA 1450 specifications Fireplace Insert, Outside Air, Prior To Installation

FIGURE 11

It must be installed between ceil- ing joists, with radiation shield and roof flashing, so that the structural strength, insulation and waterproof qualities of the home are not lessened. Seal with sili- cone 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 manda- tory 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 diameter aluminum liner by flaring the end once it is inserted through the 4-1/2 inch diameter hole in either the back or base of the pedestal. If the air intake is through the floor, the hole in the pedestal back must be covered with sheet metal to avoid cold air spillage into the room. A cover plate is available from your Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. Avoid cutting away floor joists, wall studs, electrical wires or plumbing. Seal around the outside pipe with insulation to prevent drafts.

Attach the rear knockout plate (located inside the ash pan for shipping purposes).

If room air starvation oc- curs 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 1402 insert firebox is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certified freestanding stoves and in particular that of the EPA 1100 and 1400. External modifications have been made to al- low its installation as a “functional fireplace insert” with a heat circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fireplace cavity for greater heating efficiency.

The EPI 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burn- ing 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 1402 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 accordance 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 insulation. Adhere to minimum clearances as shown in FIGURE 12.

Do NOT place any com-
bustible materials (furni-
ture, firewood, etc.) within	28" TO MANTLE

insert.

Combustible material must FIGURE 12 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.

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 using a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.W415-0512 / D / 07.16.08
