A chase is a vertical box-like structure con-

structed to surround the fireplace and chimney.
Surface
Refer to Figure 2 for a typical chase configura-

lated just like any outside wall. In a cold climate,
we recommend the base of the chase should
also be insulated between the solid continuous
floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bot-
tom. Chase insulation in a cold climate installa-
tion is not required for safety.

ASSEMBLY OUTLINE
Before You Start
Check your inventory list to be sure you have all
the necessary parts supplied in good usable
condition. Check also for any concealed damage.
Check the operation of the damper. The damper
is controlled through the use of a control lever
located within the firebox opening at the top
center just behind the firebox lintel ( Figure 3 ).
The control lever snaps into place at the ex-
treme range of motion, up in the open position.
When pulled down, the damper is closed.

LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-
Security's
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
FTF8
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.
