INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INTO A
SOLID FUEL BURNING
FIREPLACE OR
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
The E33 Gas Inserts have been tested and ap-
proved to be vented into any masonry fi replace
or approved solid fuel burning factory built
fi replace that will allow the insert to physically
fi t into the fi rebox. Refer to page 6 for minimum
fi replace clearances.
If the factory built fi replace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffl e plate and damper from the factory
built fi replace as long as these items are
saved and are reinstalled in the event that
the Insert is removed. NOTE: Any alterations
made to the listed solid fuel burning factory
built fi replace may void the listing of the
fi replace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of
the fi replace, in which the gas fi replace insert
is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fi replace has no gas ac-
cess hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the fi rebox in
a proper workmanship like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with non-com-
bustible insulation after the gas supply line
has been installed.
The fi replace and fi replace chimney must be
clean and in good working order and con-
structed of non-combustible materials and
chimney cleanouts must fi t properly. Refrac-
tory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh,
and log grates can be removed from the
fi replace before installing the gas fi replace
insert. Smoke shelves, shields and baffl es
may be removed if attached by mechani-
cal fasteners. A tight connection between
the gas fi replace insert fl ue collar and the
fi replace chimney must be made.
*Check with your local inspector before com-
mencing with this installation.
