Page 13: Installation Instruction For Masonry Application
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR MASONRY APPLICATION The following requirements must be respected: 1. The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner. 2. The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1” between the outside of the masonry and any wood framing or loose insulation. - Page 14 Installation The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner model Tubinox or Projet SS or any other listed liner or flexible liner to ULC-S635, ULC-S640 or UL777 of the same diameter as the outlet of the fireplace. For connection at 45 angle, a special connector (BISPMA for the 7 in. chimney) must be used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.
- Page 15 Installation with an 7 in. EXCEL chimney (Figure # 8) Installing your fireplace with a masonry chimney still requires using EXCEL chimney from the top of the fireplace to the wall where it will connect to a listed liner that will run up inside the masonry chimney. The stainless steel liner should be fitted inside the clay liner all the way to the top of the masonry chimney.

Page 23: Use And Safety
DO NOT OVERHEAT 8. Use the grate made by VALCOURT Burn only the quantity of combustible it can contain. Do not burn garbage, painted wood or wood that has been exposed to salt water. 9. Always have minimum of 1” accumulation of ashes at the bottom of the fireplace. The grate may deform if no ashes are left. -
Page 24: Creosote
CREOSOTE When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combines with humidity to produce creosote. Creosote vapor condenses in the chimney left relatively cool by the slow fire and coats the inside of the flue with residue. When creosote ignites, it produces a red-hot, extremely dangerous fire. It is therefore recommended to make small, brightly burning fires rather than lazy, smoldering fires. -
Page 25: Replacing Glass

HEAT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS Figure #19: Heat Distribution Options GRAVITY DISTRIBUTION KIT The Gravity Distribution Kit (FP4-300) may be used to heat rooms located above, behind and either side of the room where the fireplace is located. Note that, if the hot air outlets are located at various levels, the heat will tend to seek the one at the highest level. -
Page 28: Forced Air Distribution Kit
FORCED AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT The Forced Air Distribution Kit can be used to heat adjacent rooms or lower floor located up to 50’ (15.2 m) from your Valcourt Fireplace. Only 6” (15cm) flexible isolated duct can be use for this installation. (Figure #20) If the fan is install with a rheostat, the operation is manually control. - Page 29 ATTENTION: The connection to an existing duct must follow the direction of the furnace’s airflow and be equipped with a back draft damper. (Figure #21) Both alternatives require electrical power. Make sure all electrical connections are made in the correct order and comply with local regulations as well as the applicable National Building Code standards.
