FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
VENTING INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY:
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE CHIMNEY AND FIREBOX ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF SOOT AND ASHES BEFORE
INSTALLATION BEGINS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE TRANSFER OF SOOT INTO THE ROOM
BY WAY OF THE CONVECTION FAN.
The VULCAN “V” SERIES Insert may be installed in a masonry or factory built fireplace as shown in Figure 25 & 26
INSTALLING SOLID-FUEL INSERTS INTO FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES:
The insert must be tested and meet the requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC 8628 (Canada) when
tested in a masonry fireplace built per ULC S628.
The factory-built fireplace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC 8610.
Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplace tests are also relevant for installation in factory-built
fireplaces.
Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting type HT requirements (2100 degree F.)
per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC 8635 (Canada). The stainless steel liner must be securely attached to the
insert flue collar and the chimney top.
Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be
accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front.
The airflow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e. no
louvers or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically tested as such for each factory-built fireplace
manufacturer and model line. (Note - using a louvered faceplate (surround) complies with this
requirement).
Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;
1. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing
they can be stored on or within the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is removed.
2. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.
Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fireplace stating
that the fireplace must be restored to its original condition for safe use with out the insert. This sticker is
supplied in the packaging for the insert shroud.
