HI200 Hampton Wood Cast Insert 7
INSTALLATION
CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condi-
tion, seek professional advice. Your Hampton
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
fi replace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Ap-
pliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Hampton Inserts are designed with a 6"
(152mm) fl ue.
This insert must be connected to a code-ap-
proved masonry chimney or listed factory-built
fi replace chimney with a direct fl ue connector
into the fi rst chimney liner section. The chimney
size should not be less than or more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the fl ue collar.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fi replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fi replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fi re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fi replaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert fl ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
fi replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the fi replace front.
Hampton Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that ensure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the installation and
operating procedures. Failure to follow instruc-
tions may result in property damage, bodily injury
or even death. The more you understand the way
your Hampton Insert operates, the more enjoy-
ment you will experience from knowing that your
unit is operating at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing and
using your fi replace insert. Install and use
only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Build-
ing Inspection Department. You may
require a permit before installing your
insert. Be aware that local codes and
regulations may override some items in
the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company that
you plan to install a fi replace insert.
4) Your fi replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert and surrounding structure can be
badly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing fi replace damper control
will become inaccessible once you have
installed your Hampton Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open posi-
tion.
6) Inspect your fi replace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is free from cracks, loose mortar or other
signs of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installing
your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry fi replace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
fl ue servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.
6) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is
not permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the fi replace may be
removed providing they can be stored on
or within the fi replace for re-assembly if
the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi re-
place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney fl ue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the fi replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label to the inside of the fi rebox of the
fi replace into which the insert is installed.
