Positioning the Hearth Extension
STEP 19 - Installing the Glass Doors.
If desired, or required by local building codes, install
the glass doors using the instructions supplied with
the particular set of doors you have chosen.
STEP 20 - Positioning the Hearth Extension.
Position and secure the hearth extension over the
protective metal strips that have been placed partially
under the firebox front. See Figure 19. These strips
should be protruding approximately two inches from
under the fireplace front. Seal the crack between the
hearth extension and fireplace with a non-com-
bustible sealant.
STEP 21 - Applying Finishing Materials on the
Hearth Extension.
Apply the non-combustible finishing material of your
choice to the hearth extension. Do not install com-
bustible materials over the black face of the fire-
place This poses a safety hazard and may start a
structure fire. You may only use non-combustible
material over the black face of the fireplace. Refer to
Figure 7 for combustible material information.
Do not cover or restrict any of the louvered openings
on the front face of the BW36C Fireplace. Restricting
or covering the louvered opening will create a safety
hazard and may start a structure fire.
STEP 18 - Installing the Firescreen.
Attach the firescreen to the fireplace side, utilizing
the [2] hairpin clips in the columns. Use pliers to
insert the clip through the last strand of screen wire
and into the hole at the midpoint of the fireplace side.
G. CONSTRUCTING A CHASE
A chase is a vertical box-like enclosure built around
the chimney and firebox. A chase may be constructed
for the fireplace and chimney or for the chimney only.
It is most commonly constructed on an outside wall.
In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase
floor be insulated using batt type insulation between
the floor joists.
Three examples of chase applications are shown in
Figure 20.
