Installing Chimney In a Chase
Refer to Page 5, Figure 5 for an illustration of a typical
chase installation.
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and construc-
tion of chase may vary with type of building. These
instructions are not a substitute for local building codes.
You must check your local building codes to determine
specific requirements for your city or state. NOTE:
Other building materials may be required in addition to
Firestop Spacers.
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with
noncombustible material to prevent cold air leakage into
the room. Only noncombustible material may be applied
to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black painted
area) (Fig. 20)
Finish Wall
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12" (305
mm) from the top of the fireplace opening for radiant
models and 12" (305 mm) from top of grille opening
for circulating models. Do not install a mantel face
plate less than 6" (159 mm) from top of fireplace
opening for radiant models and 6" (159 mm) from
top of grille opening for circulating models. (Fig.
22) If a combustible material is used below a flat man-
tel shelf, consult your local building codes for minimum
clearance from top of fireplace opening to bottom of
mantel shelf.
All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or deco-
rative facing material meets fireplace surround must
be completely sealed with a noncombustible material.
(Figs. 21 and 22)
NOTE: No side wall protection is required for fireplaces
installed at 45° to two (2) side walls (corner installation).
Often a decorative surround or vertical portion of the
mantel is desired. If this is constructed of any combus-
tible material it must be within the safe zone indicated in
Figure 23.
