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.
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
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Specifi cations
Your fi replace is required to have the following minimum
sizes:
WIDTH (at front)
28" (711 mm)
WIDTH (at rear)
26" (660 mm)
HEIGHT
23-1/8" (587 mm)
DEPTH
18" (457 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. Have chimney swept.
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
materials 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: (Fig.2, Required in Canada) where a stainless
steel rigid or fl exible liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar
to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A. only): where a throat
blocker plate and a short connector pipe is used.
Note:
A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a positive 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
performance. 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.
