FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine safest and most efcient location

for replace, you must take into consideration

the following guidelines:

1. Location must allow for proper clearances

(see Figures 1 and 2).

2. Consider a location where replace will

not be affected by drafts, air conditioning

ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or

roof rafters will make installation easier.

4. An outside air kit is available with this

replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on

page 7).

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO

COMBUSTIBLES

Back and sides of replace 3/4" minimum*

Floor** 0" minimum

Perpendicular wall to opening 12" minimum

Top spacers 0" minimum

Mantel clearances see Mantels, page 6

Chimney outer pipe surface 1" minimum

* Not required at nailing anges

** See step 2 of Framing

WARNING: Do not pack re-

quired air spaces with insulation

or other materials.

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height

Minimum height of chimney, measured from

base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina-

tion, is 14.5 feet for straight ue or a ue with

one elbow set. Maximum distance between

elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow

sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum

height of any system is 50 feet. This measure-

ment includes replace, chimney sections and

height of termination assembly at level of ue

gas outlet (see Figure 18, page 11).

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for replace using dimen-

sions shown in Figures 1 and 2.

2. If replace is to be installed directly on

carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any

combustible material other than wood

4. Check level of replace and shim with

sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared

framing, ember protector must be placed

between hearth extension (not included)

and under bottom front edge of replace

to protect against glowing embers falling

through. If replace is to be installed on

a raised platform, a Z-type ember protec-

tor (not included) must be fabricated to

t your required platform height. Ember

protector should extend under replace

a minimum of 1

107826-01L 5

HEARTH EXTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of

20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond

each side of replace opening is required to

protect combustible oor construction in front

of replace. Fabricate a hearth extension

using a material which meets the following

specications: a layer of noncombustible,

inorganic material having a thermal conductiv-

ity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at 1"

thick. For example, if material selected has

a K factor of 0.25, such as glass ber, the

following formula would apply:

0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required

0.84

Thermal conductivity "K" of materials can be

obtained from manufacturer or supplier of

noncombustible material. If hearth extension

is to be covered, use noncombustible mate-

rial such as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal,

glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means

to prevent hearth extension from shifting and

seal gap between replace frame and hearth

extension with a noncombustible material

(see Figure 3).

WARNING: Hearth extension

is to be installed only as shown

in Figure 3.

CHIMNEY PIPE

FMI PRODUCTS, LLC chimney system

consists of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-

lock, double-wall pipe segments, planned

for maximum adaptability to individual site

requirements. Actual lengths gained after t-

ting overlaps must be taken into consideration

(lineal gain) and are given in lineal gain chart

(see Figure 9). Lineal gain is actual measur-

able length of a part after two or more parts

are connected. For Canada, use chimney parts

designated "HT".

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF

DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Each double wall chimney section consists of

a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel in-

ner ue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections

must be assembled independently as chimney

is installed. When connecting chimney directly

to replace, inner ue pipe section must be

installed rst with lanced side up. Outer pipe

section can then be installed over ue pipe

section with hemmed end up. Press down

on each pipe section until lances securely

engage hem on replace starter. Wire will

assure proper spacing between inner and

outer pipe sections.

Note: For Canada, use chimney parts des-

ignated HT.

Opening in collar around

chimney at top of replace must

not be obstructed. Never use

blown insulation to ll chimney

enclosure.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as

outlined, making sure that both inner and

outer pipe sections are locked together. When

installing double wall snap-lock chimney to-

gether, it is important to assure joint between

chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling

chimney upward after locking. Chimney will

not come apart if properly locked. It is not

necessary to add screws to keep chimney to-

gether (exception - see Figure 12, page 9).

USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM)

1. To achieve desired offset, you may install

combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48"

length of double wall pipe (see offset chart

and Figure 10).

Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, mini-

mum height is 22 feet. Maximum height

for any system is 50 feet.

2. Chimney weight above offset rests on

return elbow. Straps must be securely

nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 11,

details A and B on page 9).

3. Maximum length of pipe between supports

(return elbow or 12S-8DM) is 6' of angle

run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections

per chimney system (see Figure 10).

4. All pipe connections between offset and

return must be secured with two screws

on outer pipe only (see Figure 12, page

9). Do not penetrate inner stainless.

WARNING: The opening in

collar around chimney at top of

replace must not be obstructed.

Never use blown insulation to ll

chimney enclosure.

proper clearances are maintained. Extend

chimney by adding sections of double wall

pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above

highest point of roof cutout. Termination

and chimney must extend a minimum of

36" above highest point where it passes

through roof.

Figure 15 - Roof Opening Measurements

FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-8DM

OR V12F-8DM)

Determine ashing to be used with roof open-

ing chart. Slide ashing over pipe until base is

at against roof. Replace as many shingles as

needed to cover exposed area and ashing

base. Secure in position by nailing through

shingles (see Figure 16, page 11). DO NOT

NAIL THROUGH FLASHING CONE.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof

When installing ashing on a metal roof, it

is required that putty tape be used between

ashing and roof. Flashing must be secured

to roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed

with roof coating to prevent leakage through

screw holes. A roof coating must also be ap-

plied around perimeter of ashing to provide

a proper seal.

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-8DM)

Firestop spacers are required at each point

where chimney penetrates a floor space.

Their purpose is to establish and maintain

required clearance between chimney and

combustible materials. When pipe passes

through a framed opening into a living space

above, restop must be placed onto ceiling

from below as shown in Figure 13.

They also provide complete separation from

one oor space to another or attic space as

required by most codes. When double wall

pipe passes through a framed opening into

an attic space, restop must be placed into

an attic oor as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 13 - Firestop Spacer with Living

Space Above Ceiling

Figure 14 - Firestop Spacer with Attic

Space Above Ceiling

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with

a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.

1. Determine center point where pipe will

penetrate the roof.

2. Determine center point of the roof. Pitch

is the distance the roof drops over a given

span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that

the roof drops 6" for each 12" measure

horizontally down from roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 15) to

determine correct opening length and

ashing required.

approved for flashing installations. When

needed, these adjustable terminations may

be used in combination with pipe assembly

to achieve correct chimney height.

Note: In the rare instance there is a problem

with side driven rain or wind or chimney is

not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft

Shield) can be used with round terminations.

CHASE INSTALLATIONS

Instructions for chase installations are includ-

ed with chase style termination chosen. In a

multiple chase installation, be sure to provide

adequate distance between terminations to

prevent smoke spillage from one termination

to another. We suggest that terminations be

separated at least 24", center to center and

stacked at a vertical height difference of 18"

(see Figure 19).

Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible materials, such as wallboard,

gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,

etc., may make direct contact with sides and

top around replace face. It is important that

combustible materials do not overlap face

itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible

materials may overlap front face provided

they do not obstruct essential openings such

as louvered slots. When overlapping with

a noncombustible facing material, use only

noncombustible mortar or adhesive.

Gas line hook up should be done by your

supplier or a qualied service person.

Note: Before you proceed, make sure your

gas supply is turned off.

Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropri-

ate ttings.

1. Remove knockout indentation on refracto-

ry or rebrick wall located above refractory

hearth oor. Knockout indentation must

be rmly tapped with any solid object,

such as a 1/2" dowel, until it is released.

Remove fragmented portions of refractory

(see Figure 22).

2. Remove gas line cover plate located on

either side of replace and pull out insu-

lation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save

insulation for reuse.

3. Run a 1/2" black iron gas line into replace

through rear at gas line conduit sleeve (if

using a raised platform, add height). Provide

sufcient gas line into replace chamber for

tting connection (see Figure 23).

Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood

framing to provide rigidity for threaded

end.

4. Repack insulation around gas line and into

sleeve opening. Seal any gaps between

gas line and refractory knockout hole with

refractory cement or commercial furnace

cement. Install gas appliance or cap off

gas line if desired.

CAUTION: All gas piping and

connections must be tested for

leaks after installation is com-

pleted. After ensuring that gas

valve is on, apply soap and water

solution to all connections and

joints. Bubbles forming show a

leak. Correct all leaks at once.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME

FOR LEAK TESTING AND DO

NOT OPERATE ANY APPLIANCE

IF A LEAK IS DETECTED. LEAK

TESTING SHOULD BE DONE

BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSON.

Note: A FMI PRODUCTS, LLC hood must be

installed when using an unvented gas log set

(see Accessories on page 18).

WARNING: Do not operate an

unvented gas log set in this re-

place with chimney removed.

If you install a decorative gas appliance

(vented gas log), decorative gas appliance

must comply with the Standard for Decorative

Gas Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel

Burning Fireplaces, ANS Z21.60, Z21.84 and

shall also be installed in accordance with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 7223NFPA 54

latest edition.

WARNING: To avoid the risk

of damaging replace materi-

als and increasing the risk of

spreading a re, do not use re-

place to cook or warm food.

WARNING: If the replace

has been used for wood burn-

ing, rebox and chimney must

be cleaned of soot, creosote and

ashes be a qualied chimney

cleaner. Creosote will ignite if

heavily heated.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Figure 24 - Glass Doors

Cleaning Glass

Clean glass with any commercial glass

cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any

abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean

glass with any cool water if glass is still hot

from re and smoke.

A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed

for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-

free decorative gas appliance incorporating an

automatic shutoff device and complying with

the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances

for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI

Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft

requirements for Gas Fired Log Lighters for

Wood Burning Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated

August, 1993.

If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free)

gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which

have been found to comply with the standard

for unvented room heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2 are

to be installed in this replace.

WARNING: When using

a decorative vented gas log,

damper must be removed or

permanently locked in fully open

position and glass doors must

be in fully open position.

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with this replace.

When replace is in operation, doors must be

fully opened or fully closed position only or a

re hazard may be created (see Figure 24).

A replace equipped with glass doors oper-

ates much differently than a replace with an

open front. A replace with glass doors has a

limited amount of air for combustion. Exces-

sive heat within replace can result if too large

a re is built or if combustion air gate is not

completely open.

The following tips should be used to assure

that both fireplace and glass door retain

their beauty and function properly. Both

ue damper and glass doors must be fully

opened before starting a re. This will provide

sufcient combustion air and maintain safe

temperatures in rebox.

IMPORTANT: Glass must be allowed to

warm slowly and evenly. Tempered glass

will withstand a gradual temperature rise to

550° F, which is more than a normal re will

generate. Such materials as pitch/wax laden

logs, very dry mill end lumber and large

amounts of paper or cardboard boxes can

create an excessively hot re and should not

be burned in this replace. Always keep re

back from doors and never allow ames to

contact glass.

WARNING: Fireplaces

equipped with glass doors

should be operated only with

doors fully opened or doors fully

closed. Doors, if left partly open,

may draw gas and ame out of

the replace opening creating

risks of both re and smoke.
