The following modications of factory built replaces are
permissible: 1) removal of damper; 2) removal of smoke
shelf or bafe; 3) removal of ember catches; 4) removal
of re grate; 5) removal of viewing screen/curtain; and, 6)
removal of doors.
NOTE: Installation into replaces without a permit
will void the listing.
The factory built chimney must be listed per UL 127 and
meet the type HT requirements of UL 103. Factory built
replace chimneys tested to UL 127-1998, may be at the
replace manufacturer’s option, tested to the same criteria
as UL 103 HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed
as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built re-
place was tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney
liner must be installed from the appliance ue collar to the
chimney top. The liner must meet type HT requirements
(2100ºF) per UL 1777.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert ue collar
and the chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the replace, seal either the damper area
around the chimney liner with high temperature sealant or
the replace front with berglass batting.
The replace must not be altered, except that the damper
may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter
pipe or chimney liner, and external trim pieces which do
not affect the operation of the replace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within the replace for
reassembly if the insert is removed.

The original factory-built clearance replace chimney cap
must be re-installed after installing the approved chim-
ney liner meeting type H.T. requirements (2100°F) per UL
1777. The air ow of the factory-built zero-clearance re-
place system must not be altered. The ue liner top support
attachment must not reduce the air ow for the existing air-
cooled chimney system.
NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for rec-
ommendations on supporting the liner.
The permanent metal warning label provided must be
attached to the back of the replace, with screws or nails,
stating that the replace may have been altered to accom-
modate the insert, and must be returned to original condition
for use as a conventional replace.
If the hearth extension is lower than the replace opening,
the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be
supported. Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit
can be ordered from your dealer. (See page 14).
Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon
the authority having jurisdiction.
