10. The finished wall surface materials must be non-combustible
for a distance of at least 12" above the top of the fireplace
outer cabinet.
11. It is recommended that the Junction Box be installed and
properly wired whether or not the optional blower accessory
is installed. Caution: Wiring must be performed by a qualified
electrician.
Vent Pipe Clearance
Note: Maintain one inch (1") of clearance around vertical vent
pipe. See Figure 11. For horizontal vent, maintain a minimum 1"
clearance to the bottom and sides of the vent, and 3" clearance to
combustibles above the vent pipe. See Figure 12.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE, NEVER OB-
STRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/OUTLET OPENINGS IN
ANY MANNER. PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCES AROUND
AIR OPENINGS.
CAUTION: PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, MEASURE THE FIRE-
PLACE AND VERIFY FRAMING REQUIREMENTS, METHODS,
AND WALL COVERING DETAILS PRIOR TO FRAMING CON-
STRUCTION.
CAUTION: If the joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be
sealed.
Surround Installation
To complete the installation of the Loft fireplace, a Surround Kit
specifically designed for use with these fireplaces must be in-
stalled prior to use. Surround options shown on page 38 are avail-
able from your dealer. Follow the instructions included with the
Surround Kit for proper installation.
Optional Blower Accessory
The Loft fireplace may be equipped with an optional FBB8 blower
accessory. See page 38.
The blower accessory may be installed at any time before or af-
ter installation of the fireplace providing that the junction box has
been properly pre-wired and secured to the right hand side of the
fireplace outer wrap. See Figures 10, 43 and 44.
Caution: Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Note: For shipping purposes, the junction box is installed on
the inside of the outer fireplace wrap. It is secured with
(2) screws on the side of the fireplace. Once removed
from the side of the fireplace, wiring to the junction box
and recepticle can be performed. Re-install the junc-
tion box assembly to the side of the fireplace so that the
recepticle faces insward. See Page 11, Figure 10.
