National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA54,theInternational
Fuel Gas Code, or applicable lo-
cal codes. Read the following in-
structionstoinsureproperfresh

appliances in your home.
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of
one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or
less with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b. weather stripping has been added on

c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window
and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines
and at other openings.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors to
keep the cold air out and the warm air in. Dur-
ing heating months, home owners want their
homes as airtight as possible.
If your home meets all of the three criteria
above, you must provide additional fresh
air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,
page 10.
If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to Determining
Fresh-Air Flow For Firebox Location.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54 defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the ag-
gregate input rating of all appliances installed
in that space and an unconfined space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicating
directly with the space in which the appliances
are installed*, through openings not furnished
with doors, are considered a part of the un-
confined space.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and
fuelburningappliancesdrawairfromthehouse
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
pROvIDING ADEQUATE

The following are excerpts from National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space

Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combustion
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-
usually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.

the firebox in this manner.
IMPORTANT: When finishing your firebox,
combustible materials such as wall board,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may be butted up next to the sides and top
of the firebox. Combustible materials should
never overlap the firebox front facing.
1. Frame in rough opening. The firebox fram-
ing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber
or heavier. Use dimensions and rough
opening layout in Figure 8. Adjust framing
so that firebox flushes with finished wall
surface. If installing in a corner, use dimen-
sions in Figure 9, for rough opening.

is important to install these bricks exactly as
instructed. Press brick firmly into brick housing
until it snaps. Groove line on side of brick will
come in contact with flange on brick housing.
This secures brick into housing (see Figure
15). Smaller bricks may require a small portion
of furnace cement applied to back of brick to
secure it until grouting has been completed.

Bricks are packaged in separate boxes. Brick
matrixes on pages 15 through 27 show how

size fireplace and the number of bricks per
box. There are 2 extra full bricks included in
hearth brick package.

ture by moving trowel in the direction of the
GROUTING INSTRUcTIONS
joint. Grout mixture in the joint should now
be flush with brick surface. If not enough
grout is applied into each space, grout may
fall out after burning.
Material provided:
1 or 2 - 10 lb. bags of cement (depending
on model)
1 or 2 - 10 lb. bags of sand (depending
on model)
8. Using a joint striker, force grout mixture
into joint and sweep back and forth
until grout is smooth and round. If grout
becomes too shallow, add more grout
mixture with piping bag and strike again.
Material required:
1 - Piping bag
1 - Joints striker
1 - Heavy duty mixing bucket
1 - Trowel
9. Continue procedure around each group of
6 bricks until an entire panel is finished.
1. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge
or spray bottle just prior to application.
When bricks are wet, any excess grout
mixture on bricks will easily wipe off.
10. Using trowel, scrape in direction of joints
to remove any grout that may have col-
lected around bricks during striking. If
desired, take a moist sponge and lightly
sweep over bricks to remove any grout
that may have gotten on bricks. DO NO
PRESS HARD OR RUB IN A CIRCULAR
MOTION. This will press the grout into
brick and turn brick a different color.
2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, pour seven
(4-1/2) cups of water. Add 5 lbs. (half of a
bag) of sand and 5 lbs (half of a bag) of
cement. Mix together well using a power
drill with mixing wand attachment to a yo-
gurt like consistency, not adding enough
water can lead to grout falling out after
burning.
Allow 72 hours before
operating fireplace.
3. The overall length of piping bag should be
about 16". If the bag is longer than 16",
cut it down to size by removing end with
larger opening. This will make the bag
easier to handle.
4. Put 2 to 3 cups of grout mixture into piping
bag making sure the smaller opening is
downward and over a moist towel to avoid
spilling. Place a wet towel over the bucket
making sure it is directly on the surface of
grout mixture. This will keep the mixture
moist and it will not dry out before use.
Figure 16 - Grouting Brick
5. Begin grouting by first doing a “Filler
Pass”. This is done by filling the joint about
3/4 full with grout mixture. It is important
to work with only 6 bricks at a time so
