Page 3: Pre-Installation Requirements
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Proper preparation prior to installing the Contempo fireplace is VERY IMPORTANT and will eliminate costly delays created by call-back inspections, re-framing or removing framing to meet clearance requirements, as well as additional trips and charges by the installer. - Page 4 FIREBOX CHASE REQUIREMENTS A framed chase or masonry chase is required for all CONTEMPO fireplaces. The plan and section dimensions are illustrated in FIG 3 and FIG 4. If the fireplace is being set on a wood floor it must be set on 6 sets of 2- 1 1/4” thick masonry bricks high with a piece of 24 gauge steel metal sandwiched in between, and arranged as indicated in FIG 3.
- Page 5 CHASE FINISHING If the chase is frame construction, the header over the chase opening must be a minimum of 66” above the hearth floor. ½” masonry board should be installed over the entire area from the header, between the studs, and up to the ½” offset ledge on the firebox. This board can be screwed directly onto the fireplace face.
