  • Page 6 INSTALLING BLOWERS Two different styles of blowers are available for Magnum Fireplaces. A hearth mount 465 cfm squirrel- cage design or an interior mount low profile design. NOTE: Low profile fans tend to create more noticeable air turbulence noise; therefore should be mounted underneath the fireplace toward the back of the fireplace.
  • Page 7 6” intake pipe through the chamber wall and secure with mortar. Leave enough pipe to accommodate a positive connection from the unit to the outside. The duct must terminate below the level where it enters the firebox to minimize a reversed flow condition. MAGNUM MASONRY MANUAL – MAY 1999 PAGE - 7 -...
  • Page 8 • The Magnum (be careful of your back) should now be placed within the cavity allowing 4” of clearance on the back and sides. From the faceplate of the fireplace, allow 4” back to the leading edge of the block heat chamber.
  • Page 9 • A gas log lighter access can be provided for in the Magnum-See-Thru and Magnum standard models. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an access only and should be used only to bring the gas line through. Do not make a direct connection to the fireplace box or a fracture of the gas line may occur. A log grate must be used to prevent any direct contact of firewood with the lighter.
  • Page 10 TRI-VIEW (6028-TV) LINTEL IRON INSTALLATION • Supplied with every Magnum 6028-TV Fireplace is a specially made lintel iron. This lintel iron is used to install the facing on the front of the fireplace. • Take the two (2) 3/8” diameter rods out of the fireplace unit and place it in the two (2) pipes that are welded in behind the fireplace flange.
  • Page 11 • Ducting the Magnum to remote locations is not allowed. A cold air return positioned on the ceiling above the heat outlet grill as a rule would be the easiest. CAUTION: Temperatures exceeding 400 will be common and cannot be handled by ordinary ductwork. Under no circumstances may this heat be ducted into existing furnace ductwork.

    BEFORE STARTING THE FIRST FIRE Note: The Magnum fireplace has been designed for use without a fireplace grate.
