NEO 1.6 INSERT-A
220114-20
Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into an approved ma-
sonry or factory built zero-clearance fi replace. The masonry
fi replace must be built according to the requirements of the
Standard of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel
Burning appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or appli-
cable National, Provincial, State or local codes. The instal-
lation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code
for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment. The
factory built zero-clearance fi replace and its chimney must be
listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards.
Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SER-
VICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Specifi cations
Your fi replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH
30" (762 mm)
HEIGHT
20" (508 mm)
DEPTH
16 1/4" (413 mm)
Chimney height 15' (minimum).
A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back
wall of the fi replace, if the fi replace has been modifi ed to
accommodate the insert.
Into a Masonry Fireplace
Inspect your fi replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physi-
cal defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed
before installing your insert.
The fi replace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions, especially
if it has not been in use for some time.
The existing fi replace damper is to be locked open or removed
completely. Have the chimney cleaned to prevent odours and
possible fi res.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your
existing fi replace.
Exception: Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame
if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the fi replace and
chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materi-
als to less than that required by the National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or
national building codes. The two methods of fl ue connection
that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner: where a listed stainless steel rigid or fl exible
liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Direct Flue Connection: where a listed stainless steel rigid
or fl exible liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the fi rst
chimney fl ue liner. A seal must be provided in the throat.
Note:
A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a direct fl ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
Pacifi c Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner
as the safest installation and providing optimum perfor-
mance. When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to
draft correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult
start-ups and smoking out the door.
Consult your local Dealer about codes and installation.
Full Flue Liner -(Required in Canada)
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing
fl ue to the fl oor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for fl ashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fi replace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner. Attach
the NEO 1.6 Insert removable fl ue collar to the chimney
connector.
Note: To get access to the connector and removable fl ue
collar through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the baffle must be
removed (see Baffle Removal section page 8).
