Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or fac-
tory 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 ap-
pliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National,
Provincial, State or local codes. The installation 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.
In Canada: This fi replace insert must be installed with a con-
tinuous chimney liner of 5 1/2”(140mm) to 6”(150mm) diameter
extending from the fi replace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements
of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing
Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or, CAN/ULC-
S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
Use a minimum .016” thick or 27GA Stainless steel liner.
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
34" (864 mm)
HEIGHT
21" (534 mm)
DEPTH
20" (508 mm)
Chimney height 15'(4.5m) (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.
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 tile.
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.
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 Insert removable fl ue collar to the chimney con-
nector using 3 stainless steel screws.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the fi replace and attach
the fl ue collar to the opening in the top of the insert fi rebox
with. Use the rear adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: It is necessary to get access to the connector and
removable fl ue collar through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the
baffle should be removed (see Baffle Removal section page 8).
