Factory-Built (Metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements

NOTE: Any parts that are removed must be removed in a way that would allow them to be re-installed if
the insert is ever removed (removal of rivets or screws is acceptable).
The damper ("A") and grate (with log set) ("B") must be removed (see the illustration below)
The smoke shelf ("C"), internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), masonry lining or refractory ("G" & "I"), and
metal or glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable)
The fireplace must be permanently marked to
indicate that it has been altered and is no longer
suitable for burning solid fuel (wood), unless the
removed parts are re-installed. Cutting of any
sheet metal parts is prohibited.
The metal floor ("J") of the firebox may be removed
in certain cases*.
The insulation ("H"), and any structured rigid frame
members must not be removed or altered (side and
top of door frame, side and top of the face of the
fireplace, metal sides, etc.).
The surround panels should not seal ventilation
openings on the fireplace.
*CAUTION: Firebox floor removal is not covered under the appliance safety standard (ANSI
used in the safety certification of this appliance. The Intertek safety certification does not apply to this method
of installation. Before installing the appliance using this method, contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction to
determine if this installation is acceptable in your area. The sheet metal base of the fireplace must be left in
place and a minimum ½" cement board sheet placed under the entire length and width of the appliance.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch (37.5 mm) 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.

Hearth Requirements


½" of non-combustible material is required underneath the insert

½" of non-combustible material must extend 12" in front of the insert for the full width of the
unit (34").
RAISED INSERTS: If the insert is raised a minimum of 16" above the flooring (or other
combustible material), a non-combustible hearth is not required in front of the insert.
