surrounds are available up to 3 inches deep. A 3 inch deep surround would reduce the unit opening depth (E*) by 2-1/4
inches (3 in. - 3/4 in. = 2-1/4 in).
In addition to these dimensions, also reference Section 3.D and 3.E.

Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC.
• Facing and/or nishing materials must not interfere with
air ow through decorative barrier fronts.
• Facing and/or nishing materials must never overhang
into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
• Maximum depth of wall extension is 12 inches. This
may be limited by the ex pipe’s ability to connect to the
starting collar.
• Covering combustible materials with non-combustible
materials does not qualify material as non-combustible.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible
materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with
all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied in
this manual. Overlapping materials could ignite and will
interfere with proper operation of decorative barrier fronts.

Painting
If desired nishing includes a painted wall, a high-quality
100% acrylic latex paint with a high-quality latex primer
base coat are recommended around the appliance to limit
discoloration. Oil-based or standard acrylic paints may
be more prone to discoloration due to heat exposure.
Drywall Joint-Crack Prevention and Repair
Drywall joints around the replace will be affected by ex-
posure to elevated temperatures, along with other envi-
ronmental, structural factors due to new construction, and
methods used to install and nish the drywall. If a crack
does emerge adjacent to the replace, it can be perma-
nently repaired by lling it with a paintable latex caulk,
followed by repainting.
Some movement of the screws used to secure the non-
combustible board to the appliance/surround framing is
expected. If a blemish begins to show over a screw head,
sand the surface to remove the blemish and repaint.
Wall Extension
Wall extension must be sealed to existing masonry
wall. See Figure 3.13. Framing studs may not sit ush
against existing masonry wall. In order to keep heat
from escaping behind the wall this transition must be
sealed.
• Seal with a high temperature silicone 300 °F.
and / or
• Packing insulation into voids between the masonry wall
and steel studs is acceptable.
Note: Combustible materials may be used to seal wall
extension to existing masonry wall as long as it is out-
side the non-combustible zone.
NOTE: Concealed sections of 3 in. ex pipe must
be contained inside existing masonary replace
ue vent or installed into an existing wood burn-
ing vent system.

Figure 3.19 Vinyl Flooring Recommendations
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl ooring is sensitive to heat. To avoid damage to
the vinyl ooring, a 12 inch minimum x 12 inch mini-
mum hearth is recommended when using vinyl ooring
up to the wall. See Figure 3.19. If no hearth is used,
it is recommended to provide a minimum of 24 inches
of clearance in front of the appliance to the vinyl oor-
ing OR the bottom of the appliance should be raised a
minimum of 24 inches off of the oor to allow the vinyl
ooring to be installed up to the wall.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum
guidelines could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl
ooring and is done at the installer’s risk.
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend
adhesive based vinyl ooring products due to thermal ex-
pansion during operation. Floating style ooring can be
used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F (based
on ambient temperature of 70 °F). Consult the manufac-
turer’s ooring specications to ensure compatibility.

44 Installation Preparation
Prepare the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built
non-combustible rebox for installation.
A. Cleaning
Prior to installing the gas insert:
• Ensure that the woodburning replace cavity is clean
and free of ash, soot, and other debris.
B. Flue Damper
Fully lock the solid fuel replace’s ue damper in the open
position, OR completely remove it.
C. Gas Line
Note: If the factory-built replace has no gas access hole
provided, an access hole of 1 inch (25 mm) diameter or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the
rebox in a proper workmanship - like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
• If the gas access hole of the factory-built replace is not
accessible or prohibits the installation due to its location,
an access hole may be drilled through the lower side,
back or bottom of rebox.
• The lower sides, back, or bottom is considered the lower
half of the factory-built rebox.
• Install gas line to the factory provided ex line. See
Figure 4.1.
• Check local codes and gas line sizing requirements
following NFPA54. See Section 7.
• It is recommended that extra length of gas line be
installed within the existing wood burner or masonry
replace to allow removal of the insert for future servicing
needs.
D. Fireplace Conversion Notice
The replace conversion notice is included in the appliance
manual bag. Permanently attach the label with the follow-
ing warning to the inside lower back of the replace rebox
into which the insert is being installed. Silicone or mechani-
cal fasteners may be required to properly secure the label.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! This replace has been con-
verted for use with a gas replace insert only and cannot
be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original
parts have been replaced, and the replace re-approved
by the authority having jurisdiction.
E. Electrical Outlet Box
An outlet box may be installed in a bottom back corner of
the existing solid fuel masonry or factory-built replace
to power the appliance. Each unit ships standard with a
cord assembly to permit blowers or other optional acces-
sories to be used. The accessories plug into the new out-
let box or may be routed out onto the hearth to a nearby
outlet.
