Sleepy Hollow introduced to the industry the concept of winching–something that no other lining system had con- sidered. The Super Winch® simplifies flex liner installa- tion in situations where it is possible to use it.

- Page 27 Bellfires® BSV Cutting of Bellfires® refracto- ry components is possible and many times necessary. If you will only be doing limit- ed Bellfires® installations it is possible to get by cutting flares and hearth extensions with circular saws and grinders fitted with diamond blades.
- Page 28 Bellfires® BSV The shiplap edge of the flare is buttered with Super Cement®. The back side of the flare should be insu- lated with Cera-Foil.
- Page 29 Bellfires® BSV The buttered, insulated flare is fitted to the fireback. A rubber mallet can be used to tap the flare to the fireback. Wipe off any Super Cement that seeps out of the connec- tion shiplap joint. Mix coarse pea size perlite with light masonry cement at a ratio of 7:1 (7 perlite, 1 masonry cement).
- Page 30 Bellfires® BSV Before pouring mixture, make sure the 1" Cera-Foil is snugged against back of firebox. Pour mixture behind firebox, tamping lightly inbetween pours. Be sure the mix is at least level with the height of the firebox. Place Cera-Foil gasket on top of refractory firebox.
