INSERT OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Your Lopi Flex-95 appliance comes completely assembled. The options for insert installation are listed
below and require assembly. THE SURROUND PANELS ARE NECESSARY FOR
INSTALLATION AS AN INSERT, ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT IS OPTIONAL.
1. Surround Panels - 8", 10" or 12" Sizes
2. Surround Panel Brass Trim (Included with Surround Panels)

1. Surround Panels
The surround panels for your insert are sold separately and come in the three sizes listed below. It is very
important that you choose the surround panels that will adequately suit your installation. For direct or
positive connections the surround panels do not require insulation for an airtight seal. For face seal
connections the surround panels must overlap the fireplace at least 2" on the top and sides and require
insulation to insure an airtight seal.
SURROUND PANEL SIZES
8"
10"
12"
NOTE: For a Face Seal Connection it is recommended that you have at least 2" of
overlap. On brick or stone facing an overlap of 2 1/2" may be necessary for an airtight
seal due to the rough surface.
It is very important that your surround panels overlap the fireplace opening by 1/4" or more. This will
insure a good seal and provide a more attractive facade. When determining your surround panel size,
remember that the panels must overlap the fireplace opening in both width and height. The surround
panels may overlap the fireplace opening by more than the 1/4" recommendation if it is to allow for a
complete seal. Any questions on selection of the surround panels should be directed towards your
dealer.
To install the surround panels, first refer to the type of installation you are using (e.g. Face Seal
Connection, Direct Connection, etc...). Follow the directions listed for the type of installation you are
doing, and follow the directions below when they are referred in that section. The insert will need to be
drawn out of the fireplace at least 6" to allow for installation of the surround panels. If the insert is to be
connected to a flue, the brass trim and top panel can be removed with the insert in its final position to
access the flue and then later re-installed. If insulation is to be used and the top panel is to be removed,
make sure to allow for this by not gluing the insulation along the top until the flue is connected.
If installing the Flush Kit, first follow the directions for installing that kit, then follow the directions below
after it is installed.
1. Remove the two bottom button plugs from each side of the insert with a screwdriver (Disregard this
step if using the flush kit). See the illustration on the following page.
