MANDATORY INSTALLATIONS MANDATORY - LEFT SIDE STANDOFFS For the three side standoffs, align the pre-punched holes with the pre-drilled holes on the left side of the fireplace. To fasten, use six of the ½" self-tapping screws provided as shown in Figure 10. -
Page 23: Mandatory - Bottom Standoffs And Spark Guard
MANDATORY - BOTTOM STANDOFFS AND SPARK GUARD Installation of the LINEAR 50 directly on the floor or on an elevated platform are acceptable. All installations require the bottom standoffs, even if installed on concrete. This is because air flow into the HRS ducts is drawn into the LINEAR 50 through the bottom. -
Page 24: Lifting The Fireplace Onto The Bottom Standoffs
MANDATORY – ANTI-TIP BRACKETS The LINEAR 50 fireplace MUST be securely fastened to the back wall. Four anti-tip brackets have been provided. They are attached to the top of the fireplace. The brackets can be removed and repositioned as needed to ensure they align with framing (see Figure 12). Two anti-tip brackets MUST be attached to the top of the fireplace and two to the sides. -

Page 31: Outside Air Intake
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE The use of outside air is not required unless specified by local building codes. The fireplace only accepts outside air on the left side of the fireplace and comes standard with a 4" connection collar on the fireplace. For outside air runs of 10' or less, the Renaissance FO-INT outside air kit is recommended. -
Page 32: Chimney
CHIMNEY For the best chimney performance, we recommend an interior chimney installation over an exterior chimney installation. In climates with temperatures below 32°F (0°C) the use of an exterior chimney may adversely affect how the fire burns and how well smoke is vented through the chimney. -
Page 33: Offsetting The Chimney
OFFSETTING THE CHIMNEY Use an elbow to offset the chimney to avoid cutting the roof and/or floor joists. An elbow may be installed directly on top of the fireplace. Use the 10" RIS offset chart to correctly offset the chimney. An offset requires additional chimney support in the form of an offset support, roof support, or wall support to prevent the chimney from leaning. -

Questions and answers
We have a renaissance linear 50 and would like to know if we can install screws in the crosspiece above the glass door.
No, screws should only be fastened in the acceptable locations provided in the "Fireplace Facing" section of the manual to prevent damage to the guillotine door or firescreen. Installing screws in the crosspiece above the glass door is not mentioned as acceptable.
