However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a qualified or certified“tradesman”familiar with commonly accepted fireplace installation and safety techniques as well as prevailing local codes. The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory-built fireplaces are clearances to combustible materials, proper assembly of component parts, height of the chimney system, the proper use of accessories supplied by the manufacturer and the techniques employed in using finishing materials applied to the wall surrounding the fireplace, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each of these topics will be covered in thorough detail throughout this manual. Please give each your special attention as you progress with your installation. INTRODUCTION General Information These fireplaces are conventional radiant heat fireplaces with standard bar grates, optional outside combustion air kits and optional decorative glass doors. Note:Illustrations shown reflect“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 specific installation requirements. These fireplaces have been tested and listed by Warnock Hersey (Report No. 629-915173) to U.L. standard 127. These units are intended for installation in residential homes and other buildings of conventional construction including commercial, not in mobile homes. These fireplace systems are designed for installation in accordance with the National Fire Protection Standard for chimneys, fireplaces and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211 and in accordance with codes such as the BOCA Basic/National Codes, the Standard Mechanical Code and the Uniform Building Codes.
