FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for replace using dimen-

sions shown in Figures 4 and 5.

2. If replace is to be installed directly on

carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any

combustible material other than wood

ooring, replace must be installed upon

a metal or wood panel extending full width

and depth of replace.

3. Set replace directly in front of this open-

ing and slide unit back until nailing anges

touch side framing.

4. Check level of the replace and shim with

sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared

framing, ember protector (provided) must

be placed between hearth extension (not

supplied) and under bottom front edge of

replace to protect against glowing embers

falling through. If replace is to be installed

on a raised platform, a Z-type ember pro-

tector (not supplied) must be fabricated to

t your required platform height. Ember

protector should extend under replace a

minimum of 1 1/2". Ember protector should

be made of galvanized sheet metal (28

gauge minimum to prevent corrosion.

6. Using screws or nails, secure replace to

framing through anges located on sides

of replace.

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient

location for the replace, you must take into

consideration the following guidelines:

1. The location must allow for proper clear-

ances (see Figures 4 and 5).

2. Consider a location where replace will

not be affected by drafts, air conditioning

ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or

roof rafters will make installation easier.

4. An outside air kit is available with this

replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on

page 8).

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for

Residential Installation

Minimum height of chimney, measured from

base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina-

tion, is 16 feet for straight ue or a ue with

one elbow set. Maximum distance between

elbows is 6 feet. For systems with two elbow

sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum

height of any system is 50 feet. This measure-

ment includes replace, chimney sections and

height of termination assembly at level of the

ue gas outlet (see Figure 15, page 11).

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for

Outdoor Installation

Minimum height of chimney, measured from

base of replace to ue gas outlet of termina-

tion, is 9.5 feet (minimum of 4 feet of chimney

pipe sections required for outdoor installation).

www.SuperiorFireplaces.US.com

127008-01A 7

Note: For outdoor installations, fireplace

enclosure must allow for adequate drainage

and fresh air ventilation. It is recommended

that a sealed, corrosion resistant catch pan

with provision for drainage be installed under

replace within replace enclosure.

HEARTH EXTENSION

A hearth extension projecting a minimum of

20" in front of and a minimum of 12" beyond

each side of replace opening is required to

protect combustible oor construction in front

of replace. Fabricate a hearth extension

using a material which meets the following

specications: a layer of noncombustible,

inorganic material having a thermal conduc-

tivity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at

1" thick. For example, if the material selected

has a K factor of 0.25, such as glass ber, the

following formula would apply:

0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required

0.84

Thermal conductivity "K" of materials can be

obtained from manufacturer or supplier of

noncombustible material. If hearth extension

is to be covered, use noncombustible mate-

rial such as tile, slate, brick, concrete, metal,

glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means

to prevent hearth extension from shifting and

seal gap between replace frame and hearth

extension with a noncombustible material

(see Figure 6).

WARNING: Hearth extension

is to be installed only as shown

in Figure 6.

any other combustible material projecting from

front face must not be placed within 12" (36"

Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) of replace

opening. Combustible materials above 12" (36"

Models) or 18" (42/50" Models) and projecting

more than 1 1/2" from replace must not be

placed less than 15" (36" Models) or 21" (42/50"

Models) from the top opening of the replace

(NFPA STD 211, Sec. 7-3.3.3).

Mantels or any other combustible material

also may come up to side edge of black metal

face of replace as long as projections from

front face fall within limit shown in Figure 7.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF

DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Each double wall chimney section consists of a

galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel inner ue

pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe sections must

be assembled independently as the chimney is

installed. When connecting chimney directly to

the replace, the inner ue pipe section must

be installed rst with the lanced side up. The

outer pipe section can then be installed over

5 the ue pipe section with the hemmed end

up. Press down on each pipe section until the

lances securely engage the hem on the replace

starter. The wire will assure the proper spacing

between the inner and outer pipe sections.

CHIMNEY PIPE

The INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS

chimney system consists of 12", 18", 24",

36" and 48" snap-lock, double-wall pipe seg-

ments, planned for maximum adaptability to

individual site requirements. Actual lengths

gained after tting overlaps must be taken

into consideration (lineal gain) and are given

in the lineal gain chart (see Figure 9). Lineal

Gain is the actual measurable length of a part

after two or more parts are connected. For

Canada, use chimney parts designated "HT".

VENTING INSTALLATION

OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT

(MODEL AK4/AK4F)

The installation of an outside air kit should

be performed during the rough framing of

the replace due to the nature of it's location.

Outside combustion air is accessed through

a vented crawl space (AK4F) or through a

sidewall (AK4).

CAUTION: Combustion air

inlet ducts shall not terminate

in attic space.

The maximum height for the

air vent can not exceed 3 feet

below the ue gas outlet of the

termination.

WARNING: The opening in

the collar around the chimney at

the top of the replace must not

be obstructed. Never use blown

insulation to ll the chimney

enclosure.

Continue to assemble chimney sections as

outlined above, making sure that both the

inner and outer pipe sections are locked to-

gether. When installing double wall snap-lock

chimney together, it is important to assure

the joint between the chimney sections is

locked. Check by pulling chimney upward

after locking. The chimney will not come apart

Figure 10 - Elbow Offset

Screws

if properly locked. It is not necessary to add

screws to keep the chimney together (excep-

tion, see Figure 10).

USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-12DM)

To achieve desired offset, you may install

combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and 48"

length of double wall pipe (see offset chart

and Figure 10).

Chimney weight above offset rests on

return elbow. Straps must be securely

nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 11,

details A and B).

3. Maximum length of pipe between sup-

ports (return elbow or 12S-12DM) is 6'

of angle run. Maximum of two 6' angle

run sections per chimney system (see

Figure 12, page 10).

4. All pipe connections between the offset

and return must be secured with two

screws on the outer pipe only (see

Figure 10). Do not penetrate the inner

stainless.

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL

INTEGRITY OF THE

MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR,

WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST

BE MAINTAINED.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN

FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10,

1100EFS-10DM FOR 36" MODELS)

Firestop spacers are required at each point

where the chimney penetrates a oor space.

Their purpose is to establish and maintain

the required clearance between the chimney

and the combustible materials. When the pipe

passes through a framed opening into a living

space above, the restop must be placed onto

the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 13.

They also provide complete separation from

one oor space to another or attic space as

required by most codes. When the double wall

pipe passes through a framed opening into an

attic space, the restop must be placed into an

attic oor as shown in Figure 14.

PENETRATING ROOF

To maintain a 1" (36" Models) or 2" (42/50"

Models) clearance to the pipe on a roof with a

pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.

1. Determine center point through which pipe

will penetrate roof.

2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is

distance the roof drops over a given span,

usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that roof

drops 6" for each 12" measured horizon-

tally down from roof rafters.

3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 15, page

11) to determine correct opening length

and ashing required.

4. Remove shingles around opening mea-

sured. Cut out this section.
