The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory-built fireplaces are clearances to combustible materials, proper as- sembly of component parts, height of the chim- ney system, the proper use of accessories sup- plied by the manufacturer and the techniques employed in using finishing materials applied to the wall surrounding the fireplace, hearth exten- sions and wall shields.

ASSEMBLY STEPS Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence. 1. Position firebox prior to framing or into prepared framing. 2. Install the chimney system. 3. Connect house wiring to the fireplace for later attachment of optional blower.

Step 6. Route the Class 0 air duct out the back wall or side wall, up through the ceiling or floor joists to an outside wall. The air duct should be located above snow level. Note: If the fireplace is installed against an inside wall, the Class 0 air duct may be ex- tended into a ventilated attic space at least 18"...
CHIMNEY 30 OFFSET THROUGH FLOOR OR CEILING It may be necessary to assemble the chimney at 30 when passing through the floor or ceiling area. Use the F8FS30-2 firestop spacer as shown in Figures 22 and 23 . Support the chimney at floor or ceiling penetration with a FTF8 stabi- lizer if distance of chimney below ceiling is 10' or more.

Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any subsequent chimney sections following the stabilizer when installing. Ensure each subse- quent chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted in Step 4. Step 6. Select the proper Security Chimneys roof flashing based on pitch of roof.

Less Than 10' Figure 33 Using a FTF8/10-CT1 Chase Termination: Refer to specific installation instructions in- cluded with FTF8/10-CT1 chase terminations for clearance and installation details. Using a FTF8/10-CT2 Chase Termination: Refer to specific installation instructions in- cluded with FTF8/10-CT2 chase terminations for clearance and installation details.
The offset and return elbows may be attached together, or a section or sections of chimney may be used between, but do not exceed 20' in total length between elbows. If sections of pipe exceed 10' between elbows, a chimney stabi- lizer must be used at the midpoint ( Figure 35 ).
INSTALLING OFFSETS First, review the Offset Elevation Chart and Figure 39 for reference. Step 1. Determine the offset distance where chimney is to pass through the first ceiling- dimension “A.” To find this point on your ceil- ing, first determine the center point for a verti- cal chimney following the instructions for ver- tical installation.
Glass Doors If glass doors are to be installed on these fireplaces, refer to specific installation instruc- tions packed with the glass doors. Use only the doors that are listed for use with these fire- places. Use of other non-listed glass door on these fireplaces may constitute a potential fire hazard and is not recommended.

Methods of Determining Hearth Extension and Wall Shield Equivalents To determine the thickness required for any material when either the k or r values are known: = Thickness of material in inches = K value of desired material = R value of desired material = Minimum listed thickness Example: Micore CV230 is to be used for the hearth extension fireplace.
FINISH TO YOUR TASTE There are a wide variety of “finished looks” for these fireplaces, from formal wall decor with elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling or warm brick facings. Only noncombustible materials like stone, tile, brick, etc., may overlap the black front facing. Do not extend these materials beyond the black facing and into the firebox area.
