Installing the Accentra Insert into an
existing factory built wood burning
fireplace
When installing the Accentra Insert into a factory
built wood burning fireplace, several things need to be
taken into consideration.
The size of the fireplace opening. Will the unit fit
into the opening? Many of these units have metal
smoke shields inside the top that can be removed to
gain height. Often the side and rear refractory can be
removed to gain depth and width.
Some factory built fireplaces have a firebox that
is lower than the opening. Many have a bottom lip that
is higher than the hearth. This is an issue with the
Harman Accentra Insert since we do not have any-
thing to fill the space between the bottom of the unit
and the hearth. It would be the responsibility of the
installer to supply something to fill this space and be
strong enough to support the front of the insert.
As for the size and position of the existing chim-
ney and its damper system, the Harman Accentra In-
sert has a swivel style flue stub that will allow the stain-
less steel flex pipe to exit into most factory built fire-
places.
