A FEW BASIC RULES

1. The instructions on the following pages were designed to
make the installation of your TEMCO fireplace as quick
as possible. It is important that they be followed. This
fireplace should be installed by a skilled craftsman.
2. Use only TEMCO manufactured components, listed
under TEMCO CHIMNEY SYSTEM (above), when
installing a TEMCO fireplace. Substituting
manufacturers' components for, or altering TEMCO
parts, will void the UL listing and the TEMCO
warranty.
3. Check local building codes for restrictions which may not
be contained in this manual.
4. The fireplace design permits installation and framing
adjacent to combustible materials. Do not set the
fireplace on vinyl flooring or carpets.
?
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT OVERLAP
THE SURFACE OF THE BLACK FRONT FACE
PANELS. COMBUSTIBLES MAY BE INSTALLED
OVER THE SIDE NAIL FLANGES UP TO THE EDGE
OF THE FRONT FACE SURFACE.
5. ALL CHIMNEY SECTIONS, ELBOWS AND FLUE
SUPPORTS REQUIRE AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF
1" AIR SPACE

other
CLEARANCE TO ALL
COMBUSTIBLES.
6. The minimum distance from the fireplace opening to an
adjacent combustible wall is 17½". See Figure 4 for
alternative wall shields and required R-factors.
7. If the floor in front of the fireplace is combustible, a
protective hearth extension must be used. Raised or floor
level extensions may be constructed. On TFC39 only, a
raised hearth extension may be flush with the fireplace
hearth. It must be a minimum of 16" x 52". For a raised
hearth on louvered models, the fireplace must also be
installed on a platform. A hearth extension installed
directly on the floor must be a minimum of 16" x 52".
?
Since many hearth extension materials are not insulating
materials, a layer of non-combustible inorganic insulating
material must be used also. See Figure 4 for R-factor
requirements.
8. Adhere to the 10' Rule of Thumb for chimney height. See
Figures 15 and 16.
9. Chimney supports:
a. Flue support is required for every 35' of vertical system
height.
b. Flue support is required for every 6' of offset chimney.
c. Guy wire stabilizer is required for chimneys extending
more than 6' above roof line.
10.Only TEMCO model glass doors may be installed on
these fireplaces.
11.The barometric damper on the Combustion Air Kit allows
air to be drawn from above, below, or behind the
fireplace; but air must never be drawn from the attic or
garage spaces. Refer to the air kit installation manual for
complete installation and use information.
12.Check your local building code to determine if grounding
is required and what procedure should be followed.
Grounding is recommended by the manufacturer if you
live in an area of high risk due to electrical storms.
13.System height:
a. 12'6" minimum height (site-built construction) - no
elbows.
b. 60' maximum height.
c. Four 30° elbows maximum per system. Minimum total
height:
?
Two elbows, 13'6"
?
Four elbows, 21'
c. Maximum distance between elbows without support is
6'. Maximum run of inclined chimney is 20'.
14. On louvered models, when installing a blower kit, it is
necessary to bring a power source to the fireplace
before it is enclosed. See Blower Kit installation
instructions.
15. For manufactured home installation requirements, see
page 14.
