Section 1.0 Pre-Installation Requirements
1.1 Masonry & Zero Clearance Requirements
The masonry fireplace must meet the minimum code requirements, or NFPA 211 or the equivalent for a
safe installation. Contact your local Building Inspector for requirements in your area. An inspection of
the fireplace should include the following:
1. CONDITION OF THE FIREPLACEANDCHIMNEY: Examine the masonry fireplace and
chimney prior to installation, to determine that they are free from cracks, loose mortar, creosote
deposits, blockage, or other signs of deterioration. If evidence of deterioration is noted, the fireplace
or chimney should be upgraded prior to installation.
2. INSTALLATION INTO AN EXISTING FACTORY-BUILT ZERO-CLEARANCE
FIREPLACE: It is possible to install a wood insert into an existing factory-built zero-clearance
fireplace. However, there currently exists no UL or ULC standard specific to that type of
installation. The first thing that must be verified is that the factory-built zero clearance fireplace is
listed (it must be certified by a competent certification body such as Omni or Warnock Hersey). It
must be suitable for use with solid fuel and nothing in the owner’s manual must specifically prohibit
the installation of a fireplace insert. When in doubt, check with the fireplace manufacturer. The
installation of the zero-clearance fireplace MUST be thoroughly inspected by a professional in order
to ensure that it still meets the manufacturer’s specs and code conformity. The chimney must be of at
least 1" (25 mm) larger in diameter to accommodate a required continuous stainless steel liner
running from the flue collar to the top of the chimney termination.
Never remove parts that serve to insulate the zero-clearance fireplace from combustible material.
Only readily detachable parts that are easily replaced, such as damper parts, screens, and doors, are
to be removed from the fireplace. These parts must be stored nearby and available for retrofit if the
insert is ever removed. Removal of any parts which render the fireplace unfit for use with solid fuel
requires the fireplace to be permanently labelled by the installer as being no longer suitable for solid
fuel until the removed parts are replaced and the fireplace is restored to its original certified
condition. Furthermore, any air vents, grilles, or louvers that serve to create an air circulation pattern
around and outside the zero-clearance fireplace shall never be removed.
3. CHIMNEY CAPS: Mesh type chimney caps must have provision for regular cleaning, or the
mesh should be removed to eliminate the potential of plugging.
4. LINER:The chimney must have an acceptable masonry liner suitable for solid fuel,
otherwise a continuous stainless steel liner must be installed.
5. ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES: The fireplace should be inspected to make sure that there
is adequate clearance to combustibles, both exposed combustibles to the top, side, and front as
well as concealed combustibles, in the chimney and mantel area. Your local inspector should
have information on whether older fireplaces are of adequate construction.

/6
6. OPENING SIZE: Refer to “Suitable Fireplace Dimensions” (Sec. 2.2) for suitable size
fireplace openings.
NOTE: A METAL TAG IS PROVIDED AND IS TO BE FASTENED TO THE BACK WALL
OF THE FIREPLACE, IF THE FIREPLACE HASBEENMODIFIEDTOACCOMMODATE
THE INSERT.
1.2 Venting Requirements
The flue is a critical component to a satisfactory installation. Your Osburn insert will attain its best
performance if installed with a chimney that generates its own draft. The minimum requirement of a flue
will be the installation of a flue connector (the liner must conform to UL1777 chimney liners) from the
insert into the first flue tile of the chimney (USA), see Figure 2.6a, or a continuous stainless steel liner (the
liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635) directly connected to the flue outlet
(Canada), see Figure 2.6b. A continuous 6" (152mm) stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney is the
optimum system and will provide the best performance, as well as compensate for poor draft situations
caused by large cross-sectional chimneys. The insert will not work without a positive seal in the chimney.
Chimneys constructed outside of the home, on an exteriorwall, should be avoided if possible, especially in
colder climates. Outside chimneys may not draw as well and may downdraft due to the difficulty in heating
them up to operating temperature. Cooler chimneys will result in increased creosoting, less draft,and poorer
performance. Draft is proportional to overall chimney height as well as to stack temperature. Draft can be
increased by increasing chimney height, and by reducing heat loss from the chimney through an insulated
liner.
Ensure that all joints in the flue systems are tightly sealed, since any leaks will result in reduced
performance as well as a possible safety hazard.
This heating unit must serve as a supplementary heat source. An alternate heat source should be available in
the home if needed. The manufacturercannot be responsible for additional heating costs associated with the
use of an alternative heat source.
It is highly recommended that the user buys this product from a retailer who can provide installation and
maintenance advices.

Section 2.0 Installation
2.1 Safety Information
NOTE: This appliance is not recommended for use in a home if an occupant has any respiratory or
any other related problems.
1. It is important to follow the installation and operation instructions. An improperly installed or
operated insert could result in a safety hazard or fire, or damage to the unit, which would not be
covered by the warranty. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation
requirements in your area. You should be familiar with the installation and be sure that the work is
done in accordance with this manual.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS INSERT IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
2. Where lesser clearances are desired, consult your local authority as regulations may vary regarding
the use of clearance reducing devices. Listed wall and floor shields are available to reduce
clearances, and most building codes provide information on materials which may be used to reduce
clearances.
3. Maintain at least the minimum clearances to combustible material as specified in this manual.
Clearances are measured to the nearest part of the insert (i.e. top edge on the side). Clearances to
any combustibles, when measured directly out from the front, must be a minimum of 48" (1219mm).
4. Maintain at least the minimum floor protection for combustible floor materials as specified in this
manual. Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening.
5. Osburn recommends that you install a listed smoke detector or alarm in your home. Normal
operation of the insert will have no effect on the detector or alarm.
6. The insert is to be connected only to a lined masonry chimney and masonry fireplace conforming
to building codes for use with solid fuel. Do not remove bricks or mortar from the existing
fireplace when installing the insert.
7. Minimum chimney size is 6" (152mm) diameter. Maintain a 15' (4.5m) minimum overall height
measured from the base of the appliance. Chimneys should be inspected to check for
deterioration and to determine if they meet the minimum requirements, and be upgraded if
necessary. The chimney must extend at least 3' (914mm) above the roof and at least 2' (610mm)
above the highest point within an area of 10' (3m) of the chimney.
8. Do not use makeshift compromisesduring installation, as they could create a safety hazard and a fire
could result.
9. DONOT CONNECT THISAPPLIANCETO THECHIMNEY OR FLUESERVINGANOTHER
APPLIANCE.

2.2 Installation Instructions
Inspectthe fireplace accordingto thesafety informationand fireplacerequirements and haveitcleaned and/or
upgraded if necessary.
2.3 Compliance of the masonry fireplace
Where the masonry fireplace opening is 6 ft2(0.56 m2) or larger, the hearth extension shall extend at least 20''
(508 mm) in front of the facing material and at least 12'' (305 mm) beyond each side of the fireplace opening.
Wherethe fireplaceopening isless than 6ft2(0.56 m2), the hearth extension shallextendat least 16''(406 mm)
in front of the facing material and at least 8'' (203 mm) beyond each side of the fireplace opening.
Notethat if youmustmodify thehearth extension to complywith these measures, dependingon thesize ofthe
masonry fireplace opening, the hearth extension must have a minimum of 4'' (102 mm ) thick (see Figure 2.5a
and 2.5b.)

/9
2.4 The masonry fireplace's draft control system
If the fireplace's draft control system gets in the way ofthe installation of the insert, you must either block it in
the open position or remove it entirely. If you remove draft control systemfrom the masonry hearth, you will
needto installthemetal plate (27009),supplied withtheowner’s manualkit,indicating thatthemasonry hearth
has been modified. It must be secured inside the masonry hearth, in a visible place and easy to locate.
2.5 Positioning the unit
In addition to ensuring compliance of the masonry fireplace hearth extension (see Compliance of the
masonry fireplace section ), it is necessary to have a floor protection made of non-combustible materials
that meets the measurements specified in table FLOOR PROTECTION. To determine the need to add a
floor protection (D) beyond the hearth extension, you must do the following calculation using the data in
Table Data for floor protection calculation: D = B - (A - C). If the value (D) is negative or zero, you do not
have to add more floor protection in front of the unit, because the masonry fireplace hearth extension is long
enough. If the value (D) is positive, you will need a floor protection in front of the hearth extension at least
equivalent to the result (D).
Here is a sample calculation to determine the needto add a non-combustible materials floor protection. For
someone whose fireplace opening is less than 6 ft2and which the insert would protrude 3" (76 mm) into the
room (C) the calculation would be:
Value D = B - (A - C)
Value D = 21 5/8" - (16" - 3")
Value D = 21 5/8" - 13"
Value D = 7 3/8"
This person should install a non-combustible floor protection of at least 7 3/8" (187 mm) in front of the
hearth.
If a non-combustible material floor protection needs to beadded in front and level with the hearth extension
masonry fireplace (see Figure 2.5a), an R factor equal to or greater than 1.00 is required. If the extension of
the masonry hearth is raised at least 4" from the floor protection, a non-combustible material is sufficient.
The use of an R value is convenient when more than one material is going to be usedin the hearth extension
to cover the combustible surface. This is because R values are additive, whereas K values are not. To find
the corresponding R factor to use for some selected materials, please see table Thermal characteristics of
common floor protection materials.
Example:
Required floor protection R of 1.00. Proposed materials: four inches of brick and one inch of
Durock®board
Four inches of brick (R = 4 x 0,2 = 0,8) plus 1 inch of Durock®(R = 1 x 0.52 = 0.52).
0.8 + 0.52 = 1.32.
This R value is larger than the required 1.00 and is therefore acceptable

/10
In the case of a known Kand thickness of alternative materials to be used in combination, convert all K
values to R by dividing the thickness of each material by its Kvalue. Add the Rvalues of your proposed
materials as shown in the previous example.

Note 1: From door opening. Note that this model in particular must have 16 inches in front of the
blower housing. This distance is already included in the B value of Figures2.5a and 2.5b. The depth of
a non-combustible shelf in front of the insert is included in the calculation of the floor protector’s
dimensions.
IMPORTANT: The masonry hearth should be at least 4 inches (102 mm) higher than the combustible
floor in front of it. If the hearth elevation is lower than 4 inches, the non-combustible floor protector in
front of the insert should have an R value equal or greater than 1.00.

/14
2.7 Connector installation
A masonry flue connector may provide acceptable performance (Figure 2.7a); however, we recommend the
use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory performance (Figure 2.7b). Slip connectors
for continuous liners should also be installed. Use Listed Chimney Liners – UL1777, CAN/ULC-S635.
Figure 2.7a Figure 2.7b
ATTENTION INSTALLER: When positioning the unit in a fireplace opening prior to the flue
installation, install the insert into the opening until the top lip of air jacket is flush with fireplace facing.
If lag-bolts and anchors are to be used to secure the insert, the hole locations should be marked with
the unit in place. Remove the insert and secure the anchors.

/15
2.7.1 Chimney liner installation
To install the chimney liner, the preferred methods are those found in Section 2.7.1.1. Use a liner offset
adapter (Section 2.7.1.2) only as a last resort.
2.7.1.1 If the chimney liner does align with the insert’s flue outlet, you have two options:
A) Install the chimney liner starter adapter, provided with the chimney liner. Follow the chimney liner
starter adapter manufacturer's instructions.
In order to connect the chimney liner starter adapter to the flue outlet, you can install the brackets
with the screws that are located in the instruction manual kit.
Using a powered driver, secure the three brackets with the three screws provided 30131 on top of the
air jacket of the insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet. The long end of the brackets must
be attached to the air jacket of the insert. Insert the chimney liner into the flue collar of the unit and
secure the liner to the brackets with three self-tapping screws (not included).

B) You can get from your dealer a liner fixation system (AC02006), sold separately. Follow the
installation instructions provided with the liner fixation system.

/16
2.7.1.2 If the chimney liner does not align with the insert’s flue outlet:
You can get a liner offset adapter (AC01370), sold separately. If you must install a liner
offset adapter, using a powered driver, secure the three brackets with the three screws
provided 30131 on top of the insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet. The brackets
and screws are in the insert’s instruction manual kit. Then follow the instructions in the
manual provided with the liner offset adapter kit.

2.8 General instructions for the air control mechanism, the faceplate and the blower assembly.
2.8.1 Air control mechanism:
All parts of this assembly are shipped in the combustion chamber of the insert. Fix the air control plate to the
air control extension lever using the ¼" x 1" hex head screws and nuts as shown in Figure 2.8.1a and 2.8.1b.
