Framing Details Diagram; Location Of Fireplace; Hearth Extension - Regency Z2510L Owners & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
Note: If the fireplace is being cantilev-
ered through an outside wall, the
entire enclosure (floor, wall and
false ceiling) up to the first ceiling
level must be completely insulat-
ed and vapor sealed and sheathed,
to avoid transfer of cold air through
the fireplace when not in use.

FRAMING DETAILS
Note: Ducting is tested at 1 in. clearance to framing for the first 6 feet and 1/2 in.
thereafter and no stand-offs are required.
LOCATION OF
FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust
fans and/or return air registers for forced air
furnaces/air conditioners that could cause a
smoking fireplace condition if the house is tightly
insulated.

HEARTH EXTENSION

NOTE: When the unit is raised 4 inches above
the floor the Regency Hearth Extension (Part#
000-910) is not required. If you plan to raise the
fireplace and hearth extension, build the plat-
form assembly then position fireplace and
hearth extension on top. If you are not raising
the unit, check that you will have sufficient
clearance under the bottom louver for your
finishing material on top of the hearth exten-
sion, i.e. tiles, concrete board, etc.
1) Insert the metal safety strip, packaged with
the fireplace beneath the fireplace as
illustrated below. The safety strip should
be tacked down to prevent possible shift-
ing and should overlap for continual cover-
age of the floor.
Note: A safety strip is not required when
the fireplace rests on a non-com-
bustible surface.
Note: Install the hearth extension only
as illustrated.
The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm)
in front and on the sides of the fireplace.
In the event a wooden support is used to
elevate the fireplace above the floor, a "Z"
type safety strip should be fabricated from
20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used
to protect the front surface of the wood
