Surround Installation - Vermont Castings Savannah SSI30 Owner's Manual

INSTAllATION

SuRROuNd INSTAllATION

To install the surround on the insert, make sure the
ratcheting brackets are in their forward most position. Lift
the surround over the primary air control rod and set the
spring loaded washers over the cast ratchet brackets and
allow the threaded stud to slide into the notch as shown
in Figure 22.
Once both sides are securely attached to the ratchet brack-
ets gently start sliding the surround back towards the wall
making sure to keep both sides even. Pushing directly in
front of the brackets will help keep the surround straight.
To remove the surround from the insert, simply lift the
surround straight up until it becomes free of the brackets.
Remember to slide the brackets to their forward most posi-
tion before trying to install the surround again.

INSTAllATION INTO A MASONRY FIRE-
plACE
The best installation is the complete relining of the chimney
ST1083
system using a 6" listed stainless steel liner. The liner must
be attached to the insert and to each section of the liner attach surround
with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the insert.
All connections should be secured with a minimum of 3
screws, this includes the flue collar.
NOTE: Canadian installations require a full reline of
the chimney.
The next type of installation is a direct connection to the
first flue liner in accordance with the requirements of the
NFPA 211. Secure the fireplace damper in the open posi-
tion or remove it. Seal the area around the starter pipe
and the damper opening with high temp sealant and or
sheet metal.

The chimney should be inspected for cracks, loose mortar
and any other signs of deterioration or blockage. Always
check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation to ensure compliance with local
codes, including the need for permits and any follow up
inspections.
