OPERATION GUIDELINES
When a AK4 combustion air assembly and a combustion air duct are attached to the connecting point on the
left or right side of the fireplace, combustion air may enter the firebox through a dampered opening behind the
left or right side brick. This feature is designed for your benefit to reduce the room air used for combustion and
to prevent excessive loss of heat from the room. When the fireplace is in use, this damper should be open.
Whenthe fireplace is not in use, the damper should be closed to preventcold air from entering thefirebox. The
combustionair damper is openwhen the lever,locatedon the leftand right side ofthe firebox near thetop of the
firebrick, is up and closed when the lever is down.
Outside air for combustion is optional unless required by federal, state or local building codes. See the section
of this manual providing the instructions for installation of the combustion air assembly. The design of the
fireplaceallowsthe routing of thecombustion air duct up,down,or horizontally to obtainthe outside combustion
air. This permits flexibility in planning your installation. See Figure 22 for typical installation methods. Review
theprecautions and recommendationsin this manual pertaining to outside combustion airinstallation.
Glassdoorsshouldbeinstalledtoreceivethemaximumbenefitfromyourfireplace. Forlargefires, the maximum
heating benefit from the fireplace will be obtained with the doors open due to the high amount of radiant heat
being emitted out of the front opening of the fireplace. With a small fire, or before retiring in the evenings, it is
best to operate the fireplace with the doors closed to prevent excessive room air form being drawn up the
chimney. When the doors are open, the mesh screens should be closed to help keep burning embers from
poppingout of the firebox.
The fireplace also is equipped with a flue damper, which must be open when the fireplace is in use. The flue
dampercontrolleveris located inside the fireplace. The counterweighteddamperisoperated by simply pushing
up to open or pulling down to close the damper. When the fireplace is not in use, the damper should be closed
to prevent cold air form entering the chimney as well as preventing warm air in the room from escaping up the
chimney.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be released from the upper portion of the fireplace the first
few times you use your new fireplace. This results from an oil residue on the metal. Open a door or window
to allow the smoke to escape.
Thegrate included with thisfireplace helps to appropriatelylocate and contain theburning wood. Failure touse
thisgrate may cause overheating ofparts of the fireplace and allow large pieces of burning wood toroll forward
out of the firebox. If the grate becomes warped or damaged, it must be replaced with grate number 072954
only.
WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with doors should be operated only with the doors fully open or doors fully
closed. If doors are left partly open, gas and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace opening, creating risks of
both fire and smoke.
Allfireplace chimneys are indirect contact withcold air on theexterior of thestructure. Consequently,whenthe
fireplaceisnotinuse,coldaircanfalldownthechimneyofthefireplacetocooloffthefireplacechase. Therefore,
thefireplacechase must be insulatedtominimize the risk ofcoldair infiltration to thehome. Even if the fireplace
chase is adequately insulated, this cannot completely ensure that cold air infiltration into the structure will be
eliminated. Cold air infiltration is a possibility with any fireplace or device that freely communicates with the air
on the outside of the structure. Today’s homes are more energy-efficient and, therefore, better insulated and
tightlyconstructed. Unfortunately,whenairisremoved from the house, asbyabathroom fan, or consumed bya
furnace, additional air is needed to replace the air consumed. Unless the additional air is supplied, this can
causeanegativepressure in the home. When thishappens,the house will draw inoutsideair form the cracks in
the windows, down the fireplace flue or other locations of air leakage in the home. Because cold air infiltration
maybeunavoidablein some structures, MartinHearth& Heating is not responsibleforheat loss or air infiltration
through or around the fireplace.

FIREPLACE LOCATION
CAUTION: Do not install fireplace over carpeting.
This fireplace does not weigh more than large pieces of furniture and can normally be located near a load
bearingwall without requiringadditional foundations or supports. If however, thefireplace is tobe trimmed with
a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure is adequate.
Figures 4 and 5 provide dimensional details of the fireplace, required spacing to combustible walls, and some
suggested fireplace locations. When selecting a location, choose one that is away from frequently opened
doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other places where air movements may disturb the airflow around the
fireplace. Air turbulence near the fireplace may cause smoke to spill out of the fireplace opening.

Surveytheplannedlocationforthefireplaceforoverheadplumbingorelectricalwires,etc.,thatmightcomplicate
theinstallation or endanger personsinstalling or cleaningthe chimney. Avoidalocationwherethe chimney cap
will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the
roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 8. All these conditions can cause
turbulence or pressure conditions that can cause poor chimney draft and smoke spillage from the fireplace
opening. Elbows may be used to offset the chimney to avoid obstructions or to locate the chimney cap in a
preferred location. Refer to the sections of this manual pertaining to chimney offsets for instructions on proper
elbow use. Poor installation or location of the chimney cap and/or components can cause wind blown rain to
enterthechimney.
Be sure the selected location will allow a 17" square combustible material-free space for the chimney to pass
through. If the chimney is to pass through living or storage spaces, be sure there is adequate space to enclose
the chimney to avoid personal contact with, or damage to, the chimney. If the fireplace is to be installed on an
outside wall, the surrounding walls (chase) should be constructed and insulated as shown by Figure 6. Failure
to insulate the fireplace form outside temperatures will cause heat loss through and around the fireplace.

FLOOR PROTECTION
If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 20 inches in front of, and 12 inches either side
of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth
extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 10, a H2074 hearth exten-
sion kit or a locally constructed hearth equivalent to the H2074.
The H2074 hearth extension kit consists of sufficient insulation board to cover the 20" x 74" floor area with ˚
inch layer of insulation. A20" x 74" piece of galvanized steel is included in the kit to cover the insulation before
a finishing layer of noncombustible material of stone, brick, tile, etc., is applied to finish the hearth extension.
The insulation used in the H2074 hearth extension has a thermal conductivity (K factor) of 0.43. If you do
construct a hearth extension equivalent to the H2074, be sure the insulation you use has enough compressive
strength to support the weight of the covering materials and persons standing on it, and insulating qualities
equal to or better than the 1/2" covering provided by the H2074.

Theabilityof insulating materialtoretard the transferofheat may be expressedas eitherThermalConductance
(C), Thermal Conductivity (K), orThermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and
the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows:
C=K divided by the material thickness2
(Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50)
C = .86)
K = C multiplies by the material thickness
(Example K = .86 multiplied by 1/2 (.50)
K = .43)
R= The material thickness divided by K
(Example R = 1/2 (.50) divided by .43
R = 1.16)
FLOOR PROTECTION
Witheither type hearthextension minor shiftingof the supportingfloor or expansionand contraction mayeven-
tuallycause acrack to develop between the hearth extension and the face of the fireplace. To help prevent the
crack from developing, the hearth extension materials must be firmly fastened in place. Wall ties should be
screwed to the face of the fireplace and imbedded in the mortar joints of brick, stone, or other non-combustible
materials. The metal safety strip packed with the fireplace must be placed beneath the fireplace and extended
under the hearth extension or into a mortar joint of the hearth extension as shown by Figures 10, 12, and 13. In
the event a crack does eventually develop, the metal safety strip will serve as a barrier to prevent sparks or
embersfrom falling fromthe fireplace ontocombustible flooring materials.

andchimney pipes are installed.
NOTE: Somelocal codes mayrequire electrically grounding the fireplace and chimney.
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
In order to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the fireplace, it is very important to properly install the
chimney. This is an important part of the installation and the sections of this manual pertaining to chimney
installationshould be reviewed verythoroughly.
For your safety, some of the important things to remember in regard to chimneys are listed below:
1. Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this fireplace.
2. Use only undamaged parts and accessories.
3. Enclosethechimneywhereit passes through the livingspacestoprevent contact with and possible damage
tothe chimney.
4. Installfirestop spacers at each ceilinglevel.
5. Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris
into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.
6. Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.
NOTE: To select the proper chimney height, refer to Figure 1. The flue outlet must be a minimum of three feet
above the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of two feet above all portions of
thebuilding within ten feet. Ifthe chimney is toinclude elbows to offsetthechimney,refertothe Chimney Offset
andCap Installation sectionof this manual. There must be at least two inches air space between all sections of

1. Lay out, cut and frame openings through all ceilings and the roof at the point where the chimney will pass
through. Unlessthe chimney isto be offset,the point wherethe center lineof the chimneywill pass through
the ceiling and roof can be determined with a plumb line as shown by Figure 16. The fireplace should be
located in the planned installation position. After the center line is established and a nail is driven to mark
the point, the opening can be cut if you are satisfied with the chimney location relative to ceiling and roof
joistsand/oranyotherobstructions. Theroof opening center line shouldbemarkedbydriving a nail through
therooffrom underneath that willpenetratethe roof and canbelocated from the rooftop. Ifthe chimney is to
penetrate a pitched roof, the hole in the roof must be rectangular instead of square and should be sized
accordingtoTable1.
2. Install the firestop spacer as required from beneath the ceiling unless the space above is attic space. In an
attic,the firestop spacer shouldbe installed atthe floor levelof the attic. Youmusthave joists or headerson
all four sides of the spacer and use a minimum of four 8-penney nails to secure the spacer.
3. To installthe “L” series chimneysections, insert the maleend of the flue,the smallest diameterpipe, into the
flue outlet of the fireplace and press down until the snap locks engage. Continue the process, adding the
chimney sections on top of each other until the chimney is at least six inches above the roof opening on all
sided. As the chimney sections are installed, check each joint to make sure it is properly locked to the
previous section. If additional strength of the outer pipe joints is desired, you may use two or three sheet
metal screws placed through the area where the outer pipes overlap one another. To install these screws,
drill a 1/8-inch diameter hole through the chimney sections, taking care not to penetrate the inner flue pipe.
Warning: Be very careful when drilling the holes into the outer pipe. The drill must not penetrate the inner
stainlesssteel pipe.
NOTE: If you intend to have a total fireplace installation of more that 30 feet you must use chimney support
model LCS at or below 30 feet to support the weight of additional chimney pipe.
To installthe chimney support, place the crimped endof the flue and outlet air duct portions intothe last section
of chimney pipe. Push down until the outside or inlet air duct of the chimney support overlaps and snap locks
the chimney support into the chimney section.
Nailthesupportstrapstightly to a building framememberorceiling joist as shown by Figure17. You mustuseat

ELBOW INSTALLATION
The following are important points that should be observed when installing elbows on the fireplace:
1. Thesupport straps of all elbows not installed directly on top of the fireplace should be nailed securely to the
surroundingstructure. Thisallows the support strapto carry the weightof the chimney abovethe elbow and
prevents this weight from breaking the elbow or chimney sections apart.
2. Elbowsshouldnotbe used in any combinationthatinclines the chimney more than30degrees from vertical.
3. The limitations on the quantity of elbows per chimney are as follows: If the total height of the fireplace and
chimney is — 24 feet or more — two elbows may be used in the chimney. 30 feet or more — four elbows
may be used in the chimney.
4. The inclined portions of chimneys that pass through living spaces likely to be used for storage should be
enclosed to avoid contact with and possible damage to the chimney. The minimum air space of two inches
betweenthe chimney and enclosing materials must be maintained.
5. The length of the inclined portion of chimney between elbows must not exceed 6 feet when unsupported or
20 feet if the chimney is supported at six-foot intervals with support such as metal support straps.
6. When enclosing the elbows and inclined portions of the chimney, enclosing materials must be installed
verticallytomaintain the required two-inch minimumairspace clearance to thechimneyat the extremities of
the offset. It is recommended that enclosing material not follow the inclined portions of the chimney.
OFFSET INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
1. Determinethelocation and amount ofoffsetrequired, then select thecombinations of chimney sectionsand
elbows required from the offset chart. Refer to Page 18.
2. Install the first LE30 elbow by placing the extended flue into the mating part of the fireplace or chimney
section. Pushdown until the outsideor inlet air ductof the elbowoverlaps and the snapslock the elbow into
thefireplace or chimney section.
3. Nail the support straps to the framing member with a minimum of two 8-penny nails per strap.
4. Installthesectionsof pipe between elbows untiltheproper number of chimney sectionshavebeeninstalled.
5. Install the second elbow to return the run of the chimney to vertical.
6. Nail the support straps of the second elbow to a building frame member.
7. Continue installing the vertical portion of the chimney.
NOTE: If the inclined portion of the chimney passes through a floor or ceiling, an LF-FS-30 firestop spacer
shouldbe installed to providethe firestop andsupport required. Be sureproper spacing in maintained between
thechimney and combustibles.

MODEL LC CHIMNEY CAP
SPECIAL NOTE: The proper height as previously explained is important to assure proper draft and safety. The
chimneycapextends the flue outlet fourinchesabove the top of thelastsection of chimney. This should be kept
inmindwhendetermining the proper height forthechimney. Thechimneyshouldnot be extended more than90
inchesabovethesupportingroofstructurewithoutadditionalsupport. Inthecaseofan“A”frametypeconstruction
or other steep pitch roofs that require more than 90 inches of chimney above the roof, a support should be
attached to the chimney at the 90 inch level that is strong enough to support a wind load of 3-1/8 pounds for
each inch the chimney extends above 90 inches. The flue outlet must be a minimum of three feet above the
pointwhere in penetrates the roof.
CAUTION:Be careful to avoid electrical shock hazard when contacting wires to the metal chimney components.
1. Extend the regular chimney sections until the top of the chimney is 4 inches below the total flue height
desired. Do not snap the last section of inlet air duct or largest diameter pipe in place until Step 3 is
completed.
2. Remove the shingles from around the chimney so that the flashing may be installed, with the upper part of
the flashing under the shingles.
3. Set the flashing on the roof. Hold a section of the outside pipe (13" diameter) on the flashing and scribe a
line around the flashing, then cut the top off the flashing by cutting 1/4 inch below the scribed line. This
should increase the diameter of the flashing outlet sufficiently to allow the flashing to be placed over the
chimney. SeeFigure20.
4. Snapthe last sectionof inlet air duct in place and slidethe flashing overthe chimney. Adjust the chimney to
assurethat the properminimum clearances are maintained.
5. Nail the flashing securely in place with eight nails.
6. Seal the crack between the top of the flashing and the chimney with mastic. Leave some excess mastic at
this area to be used in step eight. NOTE: Use pliers and wear gloves when performing step seven to
minimize the danger of cutting your hands on the edge of the storm collar.
7. Place the storm collar around the chimney and put the collar together like a belt in belt loops. Slide the end
of collar under the two loops on the other end with the loops facing up. Overlap the ends of the collar until it
is tight against the chimney. Bend the free end of the collar back over the loops to hold the storm collar
securely together. The excess end of the storm collar may be trimmed off.
8. Slidethestormcollar down snugly againsttheflashinguntil the excess masticleftinstep six is forcedupinto
the crack between the storm collar and the chimney. This should make the joint between the flashing and
thechimney watertight.
9. Install the chimney cap by placing the cap into matching parts of the last chimney section. Then punch or
drill1/8 inch diameterholes in the inlet air duct (chimney pipe)where specified on the brackets and fasten it
down with the No. 8 screws provided. Do not penetrate the inner stainless steel pipe while installing the
screws.
10. Checkall the parts ofthe fireplace, chimney andchimney termination capto assure that noparts have been
damaged or bent during installation and that all parts have been installed properly.
NOTE: The metal used for the chimney cap has a rust protective coating but the cut edges of the parts are not
protected. Topreventrusting and ruststaining of nearby structures,exposed parts of thechimney and chimney
cap should be detergent washed and painted with a galvanized primer paint.

NOTE FOR STRAIGHT RUN CHIMNEYS:
Chimney support required at 25' chimney height.
NOTES FOR CHIMNEYS WITH ELBOW OFFSETS:
The length of the inclined portion of the chimney between
elbows must not exceed 6 feet when unsupported, or 20
feet if the chimney is supported at 6 foot intervals using
either metal support straps or an LCS chimney support.
The LCS chimney support when installed at a 30 degree
angle will add 8" of rise and 4-5/8" of offset to the chimney
heightcalculations.

CHIMNEY CAP CHASE INSTALLATION
19
Thepreinstalledchimneysectionsshouldbenomore than 13 inches below the top of thechase. Theinstallation
shouldbe planned so thateither a two-foot orthree-foot chimney sectionwill be used forthe top section. This is
necessary to ensure complete engagement of the inlet air telescope and chimney cap into the top section.
1. Extend the chimney sections until the top of the chimney is not more than 13 inches below the top of the
chase.
2. Center the hole in the chase cover over the chimney. The chase cover overhang should be lanced, formed
over the chase and secured with nails. This prevents water from seeping under the chase cover. If two or
more chase covers are to be used on the same chase, they should be soldered together to form two
watertightseams.
3. Place the outer telescope inside the hole in the chase cover and lower it down into the mating pipe of the
chimney until the support brackets on the telescope section rest on the flange of the chase cover.
4. Bend the tab with a hole on each bracket outward and secure the telecope to the flashing, using the tabs
provided.
5. Once the telescope is secured, place the rain shield over the top of the telescope pipe assembly. The rain
shield will be supported by the telescope brackets.
CAUTION:Be careful around electrical wires to avoid the electrical shock hazard of contacting the wires with the
metalchimneycomponents.
NOTE:When two fireplace chimneys are terminated above the same chase, the centers of the chimney caps
should be at least 24 inches apart to help prevent smoke from a fireplace in use from being drawn down the
chimney of a fireplace that is not in use. Additional spacing between caps or staggering the height of the caps
will further lessen the likelihood of this occurring.
6. Place LCL cap assembly into position by aligning the flue telescope into the last section of flue pipe and
lower it down until the 3 cap legs rest on the top edge of the outer telescope pipe. Secure legs of cap to the
telescopewith screws provided.
7. Check all parts of the chimney and chimney cap to assure that no parts have been damaged or bent during
installation and that all parts have been installed properly.
NOTE: The metal used for the chimney and chimney cap has a rust-protective coating but the cut edges of the
partsare not protected. Topreventrustingandrust staining ofnearby structures, exposedparts of the chimney
andchimney capshould bedetergent-washed andpainted withgalvanized primerpaint.
