Heat Release Manual Air Intake Manual HEAT RELEASES The heat release opening is required for all fireplaces and allows warm air to passively flow back into the room.
  • Page 103 HEAT RELEASE EXAMPLES DROP WALL The drop-wall heat release is implemented by creating a surround that reaches the minimum ceiling level of 40” above the top of the fireplace, and instead of bringing the surround all the way to the ceiling you hold your entire surround from the ceiling, opening the top of the surround to allow heat to rise out of the top and into the room.
  • Page 104 LINEAR SLOT OR LOUVERED GRATE The linear slot or louvered grate heat release is implemented by creating an opening in your fireplace surround within 1” – 3” of the non-combustible firestop which meets the open air-flow requirements and allows the heat to enter the room through the opening provided.
  • Page 105 AIR INTAKE The air intake opening is required for all fireplaces equipped with the upgraded double/triple glass safety barrier. The air intake allows for fresh air from a conditioned space to cool the outer glass safety barrier, preventing it from reaching temperatures that require a screen. This also contributes to the temperature of the surrounding walls, so it’s implementation is key to a safe and long-lasting fireplace.
  • Page 106 DOUBLE GLASS REQUIRED AIR INTAKE EXAMPLES FLOATING HEARTH The floating hearth intake uses the depth of an existing hearth to mask an opening tucked underneath. This masking allows you to create an opening that is both large enough to exceed the minimum sizing requirements and allow a technician a large space for accessing the components.
  • Page 107 TOE-KICK REVEAL To implement a toe-kick reveal, construct your build so that it stops 2” – 4” above the floor and is recessed 2” – 3” from the front edge. Then, extend the finishing to the floor. This creates an upside- down L-shape, where the segment of the L parallel to the floor remains open along the entire length.
  • Page 108 LEFT AND RIGHT-SIDE VENTS Vents may be cut into the finishing material or placed over an opening in the surround to finish out the air intake. It’s critical that if putting an air intake on the side of your surround it’s on both sides and sized evenly to allow enough fresh air to reach the fireplace in a balanced manner.
  • Page 109 LINEAR SLOT The linear slot is an effective and straightforward method for implementing an air intake. Simply cut a slot in the face or backside of the fireplace surround to meet the necessary airflow requirements. If you are adding a custom finishing piece, consider any restrictions this piece creates, and ensure it does not obstruct the opening and maintains proper airflow.

  • Page 112 Heat exchange blowers are optional when a fireplace is installed with safety screens. Heat exchange blowers must be included when installing a double glass fireplace. The blowers are designed to move cold air from the room using the lower vent opening (G) up against the fireplace glass. As the air flows on the glass, it is heated and released back to the room from the glass front and from the top (A) vent opening.
