CHASE INSTALLATIONS

Instructions for chase installations are

included with the chase style termination

chosen. In a multiple chase installation, be

sure to provide adequate distance between

terminations to prevent smoke spillage from

one termination to another. Terminations must

be separated a minimum of 30" center to cen-

ter and stacked at a minimum vertical height

difference of 18" (see Figure 27).
Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed,

contact the manufacturer for specifications.

FINISHING FIREPLACE

Combustible materials, such as wallboard,

gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,

etc. may make direct contact with sides and

top around the fireplace face. It is important

that combustible materials do not overlap the

face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncom-

bustible materials may overlap the front face

provided they do not obstruct essential open-

ings like louvered slots or any other opening.

When overlapping with a noncombustible

facing material, use only noncombustible

mortar or adhesive.

INSTALLING FIREPLACE FACING

Any noncombustible material may be used for

facing (glass, tile, brick, etc.) as long as proper

clearances are adhered to and fireplace

openings are not obstructed in any way (see

Minimum Clearance to Combustibles, page

4 and Figure 28).
Use only heat resistant, noncombustible mor-

tar or adhesive when securing facing material

to front of fireplace. When placing facing at

upper edge of effective opening of fireplace,

provide “L” shaped piece of metal extending

full width of opening (see Figure 28).
Secure with sheet metal screws at a distance

high enough from edge so it doesn't interfere

with operation of doors. This assures that fac-

ing material will not block openings.
