B. Exterior Chase Installation: (See Figure 4). A chase is an enclosure built specifically to house a chimney. The interior of a chase is open from Model 51ZC to the roof, eliminating the need to cut through ceilings and the roof. Normally, a chase is built through the wall, and the Model 51ZC is located in the bottom of the chase, with the front of the unit flush with the interior wall.
Floor Protection: or Hearth Protector Floor protection must be 3/8” minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent. How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness. An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure: 1.
Good planning is essential for a satisfactory installation, therefore, at this point you should have decided where the 51ZC is to be located and the route the chimney will follow to the roof-straight up or chase. If you cannot decide the best route, contact your Dealer for assistance with the planning.

DIMENSION FIGURE 6 The base for the Model 51ZC must be level with or slightly higher than the “finished” hearth height di- mension (A) Figure 6. Framing must be accomplished after the Model 51ZC is set in place. The chimney can be installed after framing, but installation is considerably more difficult and in some cases, impossible.

“DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.” The Zero-Clearance Cabinet and the with either Models 51, T-51, 74 models, and T-74 (here after re- ferred to as the 51ZC) is designed for installation in a family dwelling, where minimum clearance is desired.
(See Page 6, Figure 5, and Page 7, Figure 6, also Figure 12) to make sure that these clearance restrictions are met. It is much wiser to place your 51ZC correctly at the start of the installation than to be forced to relocate it after much of the work is done.
