ing and slide unit back until nailing flanges
touch side framing.
To determine safest and most efficient location
for fireplace, you must take into consideration
the following guidelines:
4. Check level of fireplace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
1. Location must allow for proper clearances
(see Figures 1 and 2).
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector must be placed
between hearth extension (not included)
and under bottom front edge of fireplace
to protect against glowing embers falling
through. If fireplace is to be installed on
a raised platform, a Z-type ember protec-
tor (not included) must be fabricated to
fit your required platform height. Ember
protector should extend under fireplace a
minimum of 1 1/2". Ember protector should
be made of galvanized sheet metal (28
gauge minimum) to prevent corrosion.
2. Consider a location where fireplace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or
roof rafters will make installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
fireplace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 7).

of fireplace. Fabricate a hearth extension
using a material which meets the following
specifications: a layer of noncombustible,
inorganic material having a thermal conductiv-
ity of K=0.84 BTU IN/FT, HR. F (or less) at 1"
thick. For example, if material selected has
a K factor of 0.25, such as glass fiber, the

CHIMNEY PIPE
Style Crest, Inc chimney system consists of
12", 18", 24", 36" and 48" snap-lock, double-
wall pipe segments, planned for maximum
adaptability to individual site requirements.
Actual lengths gained after fitting overlaps
must be taken into consideration (lineal
gain) and are given in lineal gain chart (see
Figure 8).
* The lineal gain for the terminations is
measured to the flue gas outlet height.

gether, it is important to assure joint between
chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. Chimney will
not come apart if properly locked. It is not
necessary to add screws to keep chimney to-
gether (exception - see Figure 11, page 9).
Each double wall chimney section consists
of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel
inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sec-
tions must be assembled independently as
chimney is installed. When connecting chim-
ney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe sec-
tion must be installed first with lanced side
up. Outer pipe section can then be installed
over flue pipe section with hemmed end up.
Press down on each pipe section until lances
securely engage hem on fireplace starter.
Wire will assure proper spacing between
inner and outer pipe sections.
USING ELBOW OFFSETS (30E-8DM)
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install
combinations of 12", 18", 24", 36" and
48" length of double wall pipe (see offset
chart, page 7, and Figure 9).
Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, mini-
mum height is 22 feet. Maximum height
for any system is 50 feet.
Note: For Canada, use chimney parts des-
ignated HT.
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on
return elbow. Straps must be securely
nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 10,
details A and B, page 9).
WARNING:Openingincollar
around chimney at top of fire-
place must not be obstructed.
Never use blown insulation to
fill chimney enclosure.
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports
(return elbow or 12S-8DM) is 6' of angle
run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections
per chimney system (see Figure 9).
4. All pipe connections between offset and
return must be secured with two screws
on outer pipe only (see Figure 11, page
9). Do not penetrate inner stainless.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as
outlined, making sure that both inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When

Firestop spacers are required at each point
where chimney penetrates a floor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
required clearance between chimney and
combustible materials. When pipe passes
through a framed opening into a living space
above, firestop must be placed onto ceiling
from below as shown in Figure 12.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end
penetrates roof line. Check to see that
proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above highest point where it passes
through roof.
They also provide complete separation from
one floor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into
an attic space, firestop must be placed into
an attic floor as shown in Figure 13.

a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point where pipe will
penetrate the roof.
2. Determine center point of the roof. Pitch
is the distance the roof drops over a given
span, usually 12".A6/12 pitch means that
the roof drops 6" for each 12" measure
horizontally down from roof rafters.
Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing flashing on a metal roof, it
is required that putty tape be used between
flashing and roof. Flashing must be secured
to roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed
with roof coating to prevent leakage through
screw holes. A roof coating must also be ap-
plied around perimeter of flashing to provide
a proper seal.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 14) to
determine correct opening length and
flashing required.

operaTion and MainTenance
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are standard with this fireplace.
When fireplace is in operation, doors must be
fully opened or fully closed position only or a
fire hazard may be created (see Figure 23).
Doors Fully Closed
Fireplace Front
A fireplace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates much differently than a fireplace with an
open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a
limited amount of air for combustion. Exces-
sive heat within fireplace can result if too large
a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be used to assure
that both fireplace and glass door retain
their beauty and function properly. Both the
flue damper and glass doors must be fully
opened before starting a fire. This will provide
sufficient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in firebox.
Doors Fully Opened
Fireplace Front
Figure 23 - Glass Doors
Cleaning Glass
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed
to warm slowly and evenly. Tempered glass
will withstand a gradual temperature rise to
550° F, which is more than a normal fire will
generate. Such materials as pitch/wax laden
logs, very dry mill end lumber and large
amounts of paper or cardboard boxes can
create an excessively hot fire and should not
be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire
back from doors and never allow flames to
contact glass.
Clean glass with any commercial glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any
abrasive material to clean the glass. Do not
clean glass with any cool water if glass is still
hot from fire and smoke.
A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed
for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and complying with
the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances
for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft
requirements for Gas Fired Log Lighters for
Wood Burning Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated
August, 1993.
WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doorsfullyopenedordoorsfully
closed.Doors,ifleftpartlyopen,
may draw gas and flame out of
the fireplace opening creating
risks of both fire and smoke.
If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free)
gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which
have been found to comply with the standard
for unvented room heaters,ANSI Z21.11.2 are
to be installed in this fireplace.
