Dimension Broadway
A 13"
B 21"
C 26"
Before installing the Broadway or Brentwood inserts have the chimney swept and fireplace,
including ash dumps and clean outs, cleaned to remove any creosote and soot residue that
may cause odors and stains after the insert has been installed. The fireplace chimney should
be in good working order and made of non-combustible material. Make sure chimney cleanouts
fit properly.
When preparing an existing fireplace to install a gas insert, any modifications that will
compromise the integrity of the existing fireplace are not allowed. To make way for the insert's
venting the fireplace flue dampener may be blocked open or removed. Refractory, glass doors,
screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from the fireplace before installing
the insert. Also, smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical
fasteners. Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to
be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5"
(37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper
workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed.
