SELECTING LOCATION
FRAMING
To determine the safest and most efficient 1. Frame opening for fireplace using the
location for the fireplace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2.
2. If fireplace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
flooring, the fireplace must be installed
upon a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of fireplace.
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances (see Figures 1 and 2).
2. Consider a location where the fireplace
will not be affected by drafts, air condition-
ing ducts, windows or doors.
3. Set fireplace directly in front of this open-
ing and slide unit back until nailing flanges
touch side framing.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of
joists or roof rafters will make installation
easier.
4. Check the level of the fireplace and shim
with sheet metal if necessary.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
fireplace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 6).
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, the ember protector (provided)
must be placed between the hearth ex-
tension (not supplied) 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 protector (not supplied) must
be fabricated to fit your required platform
height. The ember protector should ex-
tend under fireplace a minimum of 1 1/2".
The ember protector should be made of
galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge mini-
mum) to prevent corrosion.

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for
Residential Installation
The minimum height of the chimney, mea-
sured from the base of the fireplace to the flue
gas outlet of the termination, is 14.5 feet for
straight flue or a flue with one elbow set. The
maximum distance between elbows is 6 feet.
For systems with two elbow sets, the minimum
height is 22 feet. The maximum height of any
system is 50 feet. This measurement includes
the fireplace, chimney sections and the height
of the termination assembly at the level of the
flue gas outlet (see Figure 18, page 11).

CHIMNEY PIPE
The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC 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 fit-
ting overlaps must be taken into consideration
(lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain
chart (see Figure 6). Lineal gain is the actual
measurable length of a part after two or more
parts are connected. For Canada, use chimney
parts designated "HT".

SSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF
DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section consists
of a galvanized outer pipe, a stainless steel
inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. The pipe
sections must be assembled independently
as the chimney is installed.

the inner flue pipe section must be installed first
with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section
can then be installed over the flue pipe section with
the hemmed end up. Press down on each pipe
section until the lances securely engage the hem
on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure the
proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe
sections. Continue to assemble chimney sections
as outlined, making sure that both the inner and
outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney together,
it is important to assure the joint between the chim-
ney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney
upward after locking. The chimney will not come
apart if properly locked. It is not necessary to add
screws to keep the chimney together (exception -
see Figure 9, page 8).

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to the pipe on a
roof with a pitch, a rectangular opening must
be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe
will penetrate roof.
A
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is the
distance the roof drops over a given span,
usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the
roof drops 6" for each 12" one measure
horizontally down from the roof rafters.
Figure 9 - Elbow Offset
FIRESTOP SPACERS (3600FS-8DM-1)
Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a floor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
the required clearance between the chimney
and the combustible materials. When the pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living
space above, the firestop must be placed onto
the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 10.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 12, page
9) to determine the correct opening length
and flashing required.
4. Remove the shingles around opening
measured. Cut out this section.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end pen-
etrates roof line. Check to see that the
proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above the
highest point of the roof cutout.Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36"abovethehighestpointwhereitpasses
through the roof.
They also provide complete separation from
one floor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When the double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an
attic space, the firestop must be placed into an
attic floor as shown in Figure 11.

GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace.
When the fireplace is in operation, doors
must be fully opened or fully closed position
only or a fire hazard may be created (see
Figure 21).
Doors Fully Closed
Fireplace Front
A fireplace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates mush 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 the fireplace can result if too
large a fire is built or if the combustion air gate
is not completely open.

OpeRatiOn and Maintenance guidelines
Continued
The following tips should be followed to as-
sure that both the fireplace and the glass door
retain their beauty and function properly. Both
the flue damper and the glass doors must be
fully opened before starting the fire. This will
provide sufficient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in the firebox.
OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER
HANDLE OPERATION
The damper handle, which opens and closes
the damper blade, is located in the upper front
face of the fireplace. Pushing the handle into
the left of the keyway slot will free the damper
blade to automatically open. Pushing the
handle in to the right will lock the damper
blade closed (see Figure 22).
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. The 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 the
fire well back from the doors and never allow
flames to contact the glass.
The outside air kit handle is located at the left
hand side of the fireplace (see Figure 22).
Pulling the handle out will free the outside air
door to open. Pushing the handle in will lock
the door closed.
