chimney termination you have selected.
Installing Chimney In a Chase
Refer to Page 5, Figure 5 for an illustration of a typical
chase installation.
CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and con-
struction of chase may vary with type of building.
These instructions are not a substitute for local build-
ing codes. You must check your local building codes
to determine specific requirements for your city or
state. NOTE: Other building materials may be re-
quired in addition to Firestop Spacers.
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace surround (top/sides) must be sealed with
noncombustible material to prevent cold air leakage
into the room. Only noncombustible material may be
applied to the facing of the fireplace surround. (Black
painted area) (Fig. 20)
Finish Wall
Finish the wall with material of your choice. Do not
install a combustible mantel shelf less than 12"
(305mm) from the top of the fireplace opening for
radiant models and 12" (305mm) from top of grille
opening for circulating models. Do not install a
mantel face plate less than 6" (159mm) from top of
fireplace opening for radiant models and 6"
(159mm) from top of grille opening for circulating
models. (Fig. 22) If a combustible material is used
below a flat mantel shelf, consult your local building
codes for minimum clearance from top of fireplace
opening to bottom of mantel shelf.
All joints (top, bottom and sides) where wall or decora-
tive facing material meets fireplace surround must be
completely sealed with a noncombustible material.
(Figs. 21 and 22)
NOTE: No side wall protection is required for fire-
places installed at 45
°
to two (2) side walls (corner
installation).
Often a decorative surround or vertical portion of the
mantel is desired. If this is constructed of any combus-
tible material it must be within the safe zone indicated
in Figure 23.
