Installation Req irements for Cold Environments
If you live in the area depicted in black (see Figure 4),
you must Install a cooling air “P” trap as detailed below
and install the blower on an internal wall. In addition,
make sure the homeowner follows the requirements
shown below to help minimize cold air being pulled into
the fireplace when it is not in use.
Figure 4
Install the Blo er in an Internal Location
In cold environments the blower must be positioned
on an internal wall (see Figure 5). This eliminates
any chance of any outside air being drawn into the
convection chamber from the blower location.
NOTE: Do not place the blower inside a garage or
other area that may circulate fumes.

Negative Press re Warning
The Fireplace Xtrordinair wood fireplace relies upon natural convection to supply cooling air to the
fireplace. If installed into a house experiencing negative pressure, air may be pulled into the fireplace.
This leads to the face becoming cold while the fireplace is not in use, and in severe cases, air being pulled
into the room.
What Causes Negative Pressure
Today’s air-tight homes are not 100% air tight. If air leaks are found at the top of the home enclosure, air
may be pulled through the home due to convection (the warmer air moves upwards, leaving the home,
causing air to be pulled into the home from different location). See Figure 7 below.
Heated air, leaving the house in cracks
near the ceiling contribute to negative
pressure.
AA
AA
Driers or range fans
contribute to negative
pressure.
Cracks near doors or
windows can contribute to
negative pressure.
Air can be pulled down the
chimney, into the firebox.
The cooling air* can be heated by the
house, causing syphoning. This pulls
cool air through the cooling channel,
leading to fireplace cooling.
*Cooling air is required by the fireplace
to prevent overheating.
Negative pressure can cause air
to be pulled through the blower,
through the duct, through the
fireplace convection channel and
into the house.
Recessed lighting in ceilings may allow air to infiltrate
into the attic, leading to negative pressure.
Figure 7
Ho to Measure Negative Pressure
Digital pascal meters (also called “pressure meters”, digital “manometers”) can measure negative pressure
readings inside a home. They typically cost around $600. They measure pascals (1 pascal is equal to
.004”Water Column). Typical homes have 0 to -1 pascals. Homes with negative pressure have -2 or more
(we have measured homes with upwards of -8 pascals). We strongly recommend measuring the pressure
in homes suspected of encountering negative pressure. This allows the homeowner, and fireplace
installer, to view an objective measurement.
Ho to Remedy Negative Pressure
The only proven method to reduce negative pressure is to install an “air exchanger”. This device allows
outside air to enter the home after going through a “heat exchanger”to minimize cold infiltration.

Fireplace Placement Req irements
Minimum Framing Dimensions
We recommend installing the
shaded framing members
after installing the chimney.
Arrange the framing
members so there is not a
vertical member directly in
the center of the opening
where it would interfere with
pipe clearances.

Header
(install veritcally to
ensure proper pipe to
header clearance)
A firestop is required at the top of
the fireplace enclosure or ceiling
level (whichever is lower).
Min. 4-1/2"
NOTE: make sure the
enclosure is wide enough to
accommodate the blower
(see the section"Blower" for
details).
The fireplace enclosure must not be
less than 81" above the base of the
fireplace.
•If the fireplace is raised, the
enclosure height must be raised to
maintain the 81".
•Do not build into this area.
•Do not slope the walls inward.

Clearances
• The fire lace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and 4" stand-offs on the to to s ace
the fire lace away from framing members or walls. These stand-offs may contact the framing
members or walls but do not lace insulation or other material in the s ace between the stand-
offs and fire lace.
• When installed, walls in front of the fire lace must be a minimum 18" to the side of the
face late (15-1/2” from the side of the fire lace). See Figure 3 on age 7.
• Fire lace should be located such that no doors, dra es, furniture or other combustibles can be
laced close or swing closer than the minimum 36" clearance. Due to the high heat out ut of
this fire lace, choose a location away from high traffic areas.
• Fire lace must be laced so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked.
Raised Fireplaces
• If the fire lace is raised, the fire lace enclosure must be raised as well (minimum 81” enclosure
height from base of fire lace see Figure 8).
• The fire lace (and hearth, if desired) may be laced on a latform designed to su ort the
fire lace and vent (a roximately 600 lbs.). See Figure 12.

Cooling Vent Req irements
WARNING: The cooling vents provide cooling air for the fireplace and chimney system. Failure
to correctly install the cooling vents ill lead to an extremely dangerous installation and
possibly a fire.
• The two cooling vents must be installed so as to route air from the outside to the two starter
collars on the to rear corners of the fire lace. Secure the vents to the collars using high-
tem erature aluminum ta e and/or sheet metal screws.
• A maximum of two 90° bends may be used on each vent. However, if a 180° bend is laced
directly above the starter collar, one additional 90° bend may be used (see Figure 13).
• The maximum distance for the cooling ducts is listed below:
When the vertical rise is between: The maximum horizontal run may be:
6' and 10' (max) 5'
3' and 6' 15'
1' and 3' 20'
0' and 1' 25'
• Included with the fire lace are two 10' lengths of vent, use a connector and seal if adding more
length
• The duct terminations must be located so they can not be blocked (e.g. snow drifts)
• Included with the
fire lace is a set of
storm collars and vent
hoods. Place the
collars around the vent
on the exterior and
attach with screws or
caulking to seal the
wall from the vent
enetration. Place the
hood, with o en
ortion facing down,
over the cooling vents
and secure.
• The cooling air duct
terminations may be
installed to draw air
from a ventilated crawl
s ace or attic if
a roved by local
building codes. NOTE:
certain codes require a
fire curtain dam er in
these cases.

•Connect the electrical supply lead conduit to a 120 Volt, 60 Hz (2 Amp) electrical supply. Use a junction box to
protect the electrical connection (see Figure 17).
•Connect the blower conduit to the blower box by attaching the two molex connectors together. Insert the molex
connectors into the blower box. Then attach the conduit to the blower box by inserting it into the top until it snaps
in place (see Figure 17).
•Do not run either conduit over the top of the fireplace or within 2" of the chimney
•If the blower or power supply is located to the left, the electrical conduit(s) may be directed to the left side of the
fireplace. To do this, remove the conduit cover plate on both sides of the fireplace. Feed the conduit(s) through
the hole on the right side and out the left side (removing the cover allows the conduit to be fed through without
kinking). Switch the cover plates by attaching the right cover plate to the left side and vice-versa.

Chimney Req irements
Approved Chimney
• Use one of the following brands and series of chimney:
- Sim son Duravent 8” x 12” (preferred – sold through Travis Ind. – see art numbers below)
- Temco 82 - Firecraft FTF8 (Su erior TF8) - FMI 8DM - Marco 8D
• The entire chimney system must be installed to meet all local requiments as well as those
requirements listed by the chimney manufacturer. De ending on the manufacturer and where
the chimney is to be installed, chimney su orts, roof braces, radiation shields, attic insulation
shields, attic enclosures, s ark arrestors, locking bands, etc... may be required as art of the
chimney system. The manufacturer's installation instructions, which are reviewed by the listing
agency, s ecifies when and where each of these com onents must be used. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for the use of flashing and an adjustable storm collar at the roof line

Chimney Installation – Simpson Duravent (preferred)
• Sim son Duravent chimney requires a starter collar. Attach the starter collar to the to of the
fire lace with four sheet-metal screws (see Figure 19). If the inner i e is too tight, use a
crim ing tool to adjust i e diameter (see Figure 20). Seal the outer sections of i e with high-
tem erature silicone.
NOTE: If the inner liner is too tight, use a
crimping tool to reduce the diameter.

Chimney Offset Chart (Simpson Duravent)
•Use the chart below to determine offset dimensions (measured in inches).
Chimney Installation – Non- Simpson Duravent
•Secure the inner and outer chimney liner to the fireplace (see Figure 21).
Outer Pipe Brackets
Use sheet metal screws to attach
the brackets to the fireplace and
chimney liner.
Inner Liner
(ledge along inside accepts
various chimney pipe sizes)
The three brackets secure the outer
chimney liner to the top of the fireplace.
Position the brackets to the appropriate
position before securing.
Connect the inner chimney liner to
fireplace flue with three sheet metal
screws.
Figure 21
•When attaching the chimney to the fireplace, first slide down the inner liner of the chimney pipe into
the inner liner of the fireplace. Certain brands of chimney pipe will stop at the ledge, while others will
insert beyond the ledge. When the chimney pipe is fully seated and aligned, secure the fireplace to
the chimney pipe with three sheet metal screws. Install the outer chimney liner. Once it is properly
aligned, secure using three sheet metal screws. Seal the outer chimney liner with high-temperature
silicone.

Chimney Clearances to Combustibles
WARNING: Follow the clearances listed below - do not follow the clearances listed in the
chimney instructions
• Maintain a 2" clearance from the chimney to combustibles (measured horizontally). See
Figure 22.
• Use offsets, if necessary, to maintain clearances
• In the area above the fire lace before the chimney enetrates the ceiling (use a firesto ), the
chimney must maintain the clearances listed below:
-- 5" to the rear of the chimney
-- 4-1/2" to the front of the chimney
Min. Clearance 2" (from this
point upwards)
Min. 4-1/2" clearance
to the front.
Min. 2" clearance to
the sides with offsets
Min. 5" clearance
to the rear.
Firestop
The fireplace enclosure must not be
less than 81" above the base of the
fireplace.
•If the fireplace is raised, the
enclosure height must be raised to
maintain the 81".
•Do not build into this area.
•Do not slope the walls inward.

Offset Requirements (30° Elbo s)
• Offsets (using a air of 30° elbows) may be used to
redirect the chimney. Ty ically this is done to avoid
structures, align the i e with framing, or to gain
clearance to combustibles (see Figure 25).
• A maximum four 30° elbows may be used.
• Each elbow must be used in conjunction with a
return elbow (so the chimney returns to a vertical
direction)
• If using a single offset (two 30° elbows) a maximum
of 8' of inclined chimney may be used between
elbows.
• If using two offsets (four 30° elbows) a maximum of 4'
of inclined chimney may be used between each set
of elbows.
• For every 6' of inclined chimney a flue su ort is
required
• Elbows may be used directly off the to of the
fire lace (maintain a 5" clearance to combustibles
on the back wall, 4 1/2" minimum on the front wall
and header, and 2" minimum to the side walls)
Firestops
WARNING: Many firesto s are designed for a 1"
clearance, this fire lace requires a 2"
clearance.
• Whenever the chimney enetrates a floor or ceiling
a firesto is required on the bottom side of the floor
joists (see Figure 24).
• When assing through an attic the firesto must be
laced on the attic side of the joists
• When the chimney asses through a living s ace it
must be totally enclosed (maintain the minimum 2"
clearance to combustibles)
• The s ace between frames that hold the firesto in
lace should be measured as follows:
-- Sim son Duravent – 16”
-- Temco 16"
-- Firecraft 16 1/2"
-- FMI 16 1/2"
-- Marco 16 1/2"
