Note: Illustrations shown refl ect “typical”
installations with nominal dimensions and
are for design and framing reference only.
Actual installations may vary due to individual
design preferences. However, always maintain
minimum clearances to combustible materials
and do not violate any specifi c installation
requirements.
These fi replaces have been tested and listed
by Warnock Hersey (Report No. J99025865A)
to U.L. standard 127. These units are intended
for installation in manufactured homes. These
units may also be installed in buildings of con-
ventional construction including commercial,

strictly adhered to.
These fi replace systems are designed for in-
stallation in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Standard for chimneys, fi replaces
and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211-
latest edition and in accordance with codes
such as the BOCA Basic/National Codes, the
Standard Mechanical Code and the Uniform
Building Codes.
The minimum installed height of the completed
fi replace system is 10' 6". The maximum height
is 40' 0". See the Chimney Height section on
Page 3 for more information.
The fi replace and chimney system must be
enclosed when installed in or passing through
a living area where combustibles or people may
come in contact with it. This is important to pre-
vent possible personal injury or fi re hazard.
For questions, please call your distributor or

the front and facing of the fi replace and nearby
walls (See Pages 16 and 17).

The fi replace may be placed on or near normal
construction materials*. The combustion air
kit, fi restop spacer and roof fl ashing (not chase
fl ashings) may be placed directly on or against
normal construction materials.* The chimney
