N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, Provincial,
State or local codes. The installation shall conform to CAN/
CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment. The factory-built, zero-clearance fi replace and
its chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards.

Into a Masonry Fireplace

Inspect your fi replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physical
defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed before
installing your insert.
The fi replace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions, especially if it
has not been in use for some time - have chimney swept.
The existing fi replace damper is to be locked open or removed
completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your existing
fi replace.
Exception: Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if
necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that their
removal will not weaken the structure of the fi replace and chimney,
and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less
than that required by the National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or
national building codes. The two methods of fl ue connection that
are acceptable in most areas are:
ALT5.CPINSB 180314-24
(610 mm)
(533 mm)
Full Flue Liner
Fig. # 2
(Required in Canada)
Rain Cap
Stainless Steel
Rigid or Flex Liner
Mantel or
Top Facing
Full Flue Liner: (Fig.2) where a stainless steel rigid or fl exible liner
extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A. only): where a throat blocker
plate and a short connector pipe is used.
Note:
A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a positive fl ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
Pacifi c Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner as
the safest installation and providing optimum performance.
When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to draft
correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult start-
ups and smoking out the door.
For difficult installations, this insert is approved for use with
a SPND.3OFFSETA - 3" fl ue offset box. Only this offset box is
approved for use with this insert. The use of any other offset
box may cause a hazard and/ or void any warranty.
