Page 3: Introduction
Before you begin installation of this fireplace, read these instructions completely. This fireplace and its components are safe when installed according to the installation manual. Unless Southwest Firebird Manufacturing/KIVA parts are used, which have been tested and approved for this fireplace, a firehazard may result. ... - Page 4 A. FRAME LAYOUT (if used) AND FIREBOX BASE PEDESTAL PLACEMENT In the corner, where the fireplace is to be installed, measure out along adjacent wall the appropriate distance as shown in (Chart A, Row C). Do the same on the opposite wall. Draw a line on the floor with chalk or pencil to create the arch radius of the hearth/banco.
- Page 5 C. BOTTOM SECTION INSTALLATION Spread a thin coat of high temperature refractory mortar (provided) to the top of the pedestal blocks. Set the bottom section on top of blocks and line the front up with the bottom section front line drawn on the floor. The clearance between the sides/back of the firebox to the side/back wall should be at a minimum of 2”.

Page 6: Combustible Air System
III. COMBUSTABLE AIR SYSTEM: MUST BE INSTALLED Your accessory kit includes an outside combustion duct Part #OAK vent (Figure 7). Installation of the combustion air system can be installed at the same time as the roof flashing. The function of this installation is to provide an additional oxygen source to the firebox and air cooled chim- ney. -
Page 7: Chimney Installation
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Use ONLY the following approved 8” wood burning double wall chimney systems. Components must be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using all necessary parts required by the manufacturer to complete the chimney run. A manufacturer’s components are not com- patible with another manufacturer’s components (example: you cannot use a Heatilator termination cap with FMI chimney pipe). - Page 8 Continue with additional chimney sections until the “return” elbow (strapped section), when attached, will align with the hole previously cut into the ceiling for termination. When using the Southwest Kiva frame, an 18” section of pipe should be used between the “offset” and “return” elbow.
- Page 9 Figure 12 Figure 13 LANCED SIDE UP Continue the chimney sections necessary to reach the required height (see “10 Foot Rule”, Figure 13). Each section should be secured together individually by first connecting the inner section, then the outer. Once the total flue required is in position, it is important to insure the connections between the chimney sections are locked.
- Page 10 D. ADDITIONAL ELBOW (OFFSET & RETURN) INFORMATION To achieve desired offset you may install combinations of 12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” lengths of double wall pipe. See Chart B for rise information. Chimney weight above offset rests on the return elbow. Straps must be securely nailed to rafters, joists or studs.
