CLEARANCES

AND HEIGHT

REQUIREMENTS

The WarmHearth may be placed on or near construction materials. The combustion air kit, fire stop spacer and roof flashings (not chase flashings) may be placed directly on or against

normal construction materials. The chimney requires a minimum 2 in. (50 mm) clearance. A combustible mantle (to a depth of 10 in.) may be installed no closer than 18 in. (457 mm) above the warm air vent.

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

For any further information, please call your dealer. Special restrictions apply to the front and facing of the fireplace and nearby walls.

WARNING: If insulation is used, do not place the unit against it. Insulation or vapor barriers, if used, must be secured to assure insulation and vapor barriers remain in place and do not affect the required air spaces.

WARNING: Do not pack or fill required air spaces with insulation or other material. No material of any kind is allowed in these areas.

No Combustibles on Face of Unit

Combustibles May Not Extend to Unit Face

Do not notch wallboard around standoffs

NOTE:

1)Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown or fill type insulation materials.

2)Local codes may not require firestopping at the ceiling level for outside chase installa- tions; however, it is recommended for safe- ty and the reduction of heat loss.

3)We recommend that you insulate at least the first floor of the chase to prevent heat loss.

4)Some local codes require 1 hour fire rating on one or all sides of fire chases. Check with your local authorities.

FIREPLACE

ENCLOSURE FRAMING

As per the diagram, the framing of the main enclosure should not infringe on the area above the fireplace to the ceiling level. The rear and side walls as well as the face above the fireplace must not extend into the area above the unit. The only structure allowed above the unit is on the stand-offs at the front of the unit supporting the header.

The enclosure walls can be framed using any suitable material (2 x 4 - 2 x 6 studs, plywood, gyproc, etc.), 2 x 6 is not acceptable for header.

Normally, framing will be set back to allow sheathing to be flush with the front of the fireplace.

Framing Specifications

When framing in the header (directly above the fireplace) DO NOT bring any combustible material lower than the top of the stand-offs.

Be sure to seal the space between the fire- place and the enclosure above with Wonder- board, Durock or other similar non-combustible sheeting to prevent hot air from entering the enclosure.

Clearances to Combustibles

CAUTION: ONLY NON-COMBUSTI- BLE MATERIAL LIKE EXPANDED METAL OR CONCRETE BOARDS SUCH AS WONDERBOARD AND DUROCKETC.MAYBEUSEDINTHE SPACE BETWEEN THE UNIT AND THE FRAMING.
