Page 57: Using A Reducer To De-Rate Your Flare Fireplace
USING A REDUCER TO DE-RATE YOUR FLARE FIREPLACE Flare Fireplaces appliances use the SIT ProFlame II valve and are tested/approved for installations at elevations of 0–4500 feet (0– 1372 meters) above sea level using the standard burner orifice sizes. At the time of installation, it must be determined by the installer if the appliance needs to be de-rated for elevations above 4500 feet. -

Page 60: Liquid Propane Usage In Flare Fireplaces
Use the following link for the Flare Fireplace NG to LP conversion on Maxitrol ignition NOTICE Flare Fireplaces does offer the ability to run your fireplace with a liquid propane tank though there are certain limitations this fuel type presents when compared to the usage of natural gas. Liquid propane burns more efficiently and hotter than natural gas so to accommodate this increase in heat we must use smaller orifices to achieve a lower BTU that can cause your flame to appear smaller than on a unit run on natural gas. -

Page 62: Flare Fireplaces - Double Glass
OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with safety double glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external glass, making it safe for a brief touch. -
Page 63: Double Glass - Instructions
DOUBLE GLASS - INSTRUCTIONS The double glass design depends on the blower’s ability to move room temperature air from the lower air intake, up between the internal and external glass, through the chase above the fireplace, and out the upper heat release. These relatively quiet blowers cannot be turned off and are required for the continued operation of your Double Glass system. -

CLEARANCES SPECIFICATION Non-Combustible Materials Specification Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC shall be considered non-combustible materials. -
Page 79: Mantel Clearance
MANTEL CLEARANCE Combustible mantel clearance can vary per the mantel size and location. Use chart and provided table for information on mantel install. Do not anchor any mantel or shelf to the fireplace. Only use metal studs above the fireplace as anchor points. Non-combustible mantels do not have a minimum clearance to the fireplace opening and can be brought as close to the glass as allowed by the frame of the fireplace. -
Page 80: Clearance To Sprinkler
CLEARANCE TO SPRINKLER In a situation where a sprinkler head is installed within proximity to a Heat Release, the diagram below MUST be followed. The distance between the sprinkler head & Heat Release opening cannot be less than 60” in length at every point from the origin of the Heat Release. -
Page 81: Heat Releases
HEAT RELEASES All Flare Fireplaces (both safety screen and double glass units) require heat releases for warm air to flow back into the room. This controls the temperature of the surrounding walls, keeping them relatively cool. These relatively quiet blowers cannot be turned off and are required for the continued operation of your Double Glass system. -
