Note: Do not insulate the chimney enclosure
cavity with blown or fill type insulation materials.
Note: Local codes may not require firestopping
at the ceiling levels for outside chase installa-
tions. However, it is recommended for safety
and the reduction of heat loss.
Chimney Height
The total height of your completed fireplace
system from the surface the fireplace rests on
to the chimney top must not exceed 60' and
must also meet minimum height requirements.
Refer to the minimum system height chart.

Chimney Enclosure
Construct a box-like framed structure to sur-
round the fireplace and chimney within the
confines of the manufactured home, not nec-
essarily above the roof line. As with all chim-
ney installations, avoid overhead obstructions
such as trees, power lines, etc. The chimney/
fireplace enclosure should be constructed and
insulated just like any outside wall.
In a cold climate, we recommend the base of
the chimney/fireplace enclosure should also
be insulated between the solid continuous
floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bot-
tom. Insulation in a cold climate installation 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 in front of the firebox lintel ( Figure 2 ).
The control lever snaps into place at either
extreme of its range of motion. When locked
in position all the way to the right, the damper
is open. When locked in position all the way to
the left, 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-
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
openings with respect to the location of adja-
cent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen ex-
haust fans and/or return air registers for forced
air furnaces/air conditioners that could cause
a smoking fireplace condition if the house is
tightly insulated. See Figure 3 for examples.
A continuous perpendicular side wall cannot
be closer than 12" (305 mm) from the fire-
place door opening under any circumstances,
even if protected ( see Figure 4 ).

ASSEMBLY STEPS
Note: The following steps represent the normal
sequence of installation. Each installation is
unique, however, and might require a different
sequence.
1. First position the fireplace, then build the
framing around it.
2. Install the chimney system.
3. Install outside combustion air kit.
4. Plumb gas line if a decorative gas appliance
will be used. (Gas connections should only be
performed by an experienced, licensed/certi-
fied tradesman).
5. Install both "All-Glass
6. Complete finish wall material, surround and
hearth extension to your individual taste.
Refer to Figure 1 to get a general idea of each
element of your fireplace system.
