SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING YOUR
FIREPLACE MODEL SB36, SE36, SB42, SR42
§When in operation, a fireplace will draw air out of the house. If an outside air kit for the
fireplace is not installed, it may be necessary to leave a window or door open a little while using
the fireplace.
WARNING:When doors are installed on the fireplace, it should be operated with the doors fully
opened or fully closed. If the doors are left partly open, smoke may be drawn into
the room.
§Only use Security Chimneys International Ltd glass doors.
§Always keep the firescreen or the door closed and the damper opened when using the fireplace.
Keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use.
§When cleaning your fireplace, ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CAUTION:Never leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
CAUTION: This fireplace has been tested with Security Chimneys International Ltd wood
grates. They must always be used.
CAUTION: Keep combustible material at least 48" away from the front of the fireplace
opening.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or
similar liquid to start or "freshen up" a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquid
well away from the fireplace at all times.
WARNING: This fireplace has provisions for the installation of a gas pipe and is intended only
for connection to a decorative gas appliance incorporating an automatic shutoff
device and complying with ANSI Z21.60-M96/CGA 2.26-M96, Standard for
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Solid-Fuel Burning Fireplaces.
WARNING:THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG
SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN
UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THIS FIREPLACE.

FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to
form a black deposit called creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a
slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. If the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote fire in the chimney can damage the chimney
and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can be minimized by making small
hot fires rather than slow-burning, smouldering fires.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
Regular chimney inspection and maintenance combined with proper operation will help prevent chimney fires.
Keep your chimney clean. Do not allow more than 1/16" (1.6 mm) build up of creosote in your chimney. The
amount of creosote will depend on variables such as frequency of use and type of fire. We recommend that you:
1. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly. From this you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean
your chimney.
2. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep. If you wish to clean it yourself, we recommend
using a stiff plastic or non-metallic brush. If a metal brush is used, its' size should be slightly smaller than the
flue to avoid damaging the chimney. Do not use a brush that could scratch the stainless steel interior of the
chimney.
3. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep your chimney clean. The rain cap can be removed for inspection
and/or cleaning of the chimney.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If you are having a chimney fire, follow these steps:
1. Block the fireplace opening with a non-combustible material such as asbestos or a steel sheet. If you have glass
doors, close them.
2. Alert your family of the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your fire department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it
may cause a dangerous steam explosion.
5. Watch for smouldering or fire on combustibles next to the fireplace and chimney. Check outside to ensure that
sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.
6. Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified chimney
sweep or fire department inspector.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE INSTALLER
1. Before starting your fireplace installation, read these safety tips and installation instructions carefully to be sure
you understand them completely. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in
serious bodily injury and / or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes. The installation must comply with their regulations.
3. These fireplaces can use an ASHT+ / HT6103+, S-2100+ / HT6000+ or AC chimney system of the inside
diameter recommended by Security Chimneys International Ltd (SE36 and SB36: 7" inside diameter, SB42 and
SR42: 8" inside diameter)
4. To maintain top efficiency and to prevent build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the chimney
periodically during the heating season.
5. Ensure an adequate supply of combustion air to prevent possible hazards due to poor combustion and to avoid
affecting other fuel burning appliances.
6. Your Security fireplace has been tested and listed to UL and ULC standards, to be installed in accordance with
this brochure by Warnock Hershey International, Inc.
7. These instructions are written to give you an outline for a fast, safe installation and trouble-free operation.
8. Failure to use parts manufactured by Security Fireplace or variations in techniques and construction materials
described in this installation manual may create a serious fire hazard; it may void the Security Fireplace
warranty and will void the WHI listing.
9. The Security fireplace features optional glass doors, outside combustion air kit, blowers and decorative trims
and panels.
TOOLS AND BUILDING SUPPLIES NORMALLY REQUIRED
Tools should include:If gas pipe is used:Building supplies:
Phillips screwdriver Pipe wrench Framing materials
Slot style screwdriver Pipe cutter Wall finishing materials
Hammer Pipe threader Caulking materials
Saw and/or Sabersaw Pipe joint compound (non-combustible)
Level Pipe key valve Fireplace front
Measuring Tape (overlay material)
Plumb line Hearth extension
Electric drill and bits (non-combustible)

Square
CAUTION
The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory built fireplaces are clearances to
combustible materials, secure assembly of component parts, the height of the chimney system, the proper use of
accessory equipment and the techniques employed in using finishing materials applied to fireplace surrounds, hearth
extensions and wall coverings. Each of these topics will be covered in great detail throughout this manual.
PLEASE GIVE EACH OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS SPECIAL ATTENTION AS YOU PROGRESS WITH
YOUR INSTALLATION.

4
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Move the fireplace into desired position.
2. Install the outside air assembly (if required).
3. Install the hearth extension. Make sure the gap between the fireplace and the hearth extension is sealed.
4. If using an AC chimney, remove the radiation ring on top of the fireplace. (See Figure 6).
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
Do not place the fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or other
soft surface floor covering. It may however, be
directly placed on flat wood, plywood, particle board
or other hard surface materials.
ADJACENT WALLS
A wall perpendicular to and in front of the fireplace
front facing must be at least 18" (460 mm) from the
fireplace opening. A wall at 45° to the front facing
and starting at the fireplace's outer edge is permitted.
Projections within this area are permitted.
(See Figure 1).
ENCLOSURE
1. WARNING: Do not place loose insulation or any other material in the space around the fireplace or the
chimney. Insulation placed on or around the fireplace or chimney may cause adjacent wood to overheat and
catch on fire. (Security Chimneys International recommends that you install the fireplace against a finished
wall).
2. IN CANADA, the fireplace must be installed against a finished wall. It must not be installed against a vapour
barrier or exposed insulation
3. The fireplace is zero clearance. Combustible material like wood, plywood, particle board or drywall can be in
direct contact with the fireplace wall or the fireplace top spacer. Two inch (50 mm) clearance to combustibles
must be kept around the chimney.
4. Do not block the fireplace's hot air vents or air inlets as this will cause the fireplace to overheat.
FACING AND MANTEL
The fireplace should be framed using 2" x 3"
(50 mm x 75 mm) or heavier lumber. Figures 6 and 7
show the general framing layout.
Combustible materials must be installed flush with the
fireplace facing. It may not project out in front of the
fireplace. (See Figure 2)
Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or
ceramic tile may project in front of and / or on the
fireplace facing.
WARNING:
The header should rest on top of the metal spacers (See Figure 2). Do not alter the spacers or notch the header to fit
around them. Do not block the air inlet or outlet as this will cause the fireplace to overheat. A wood mantle, if
installed, must be at least 48" (1.2 m) above the base of the fireplace. (See Figure 3)

HEARTH EXTENSION REQUIREMENTS
A non-combustible hearth extension must be built in
front of the fireplace and extend out on both sides.
Hearth extensions must be constructed according to the
following guidelines:
1. A layer of sheet metal 0.018" (0.45 mm) thick or
3/8" (9 mm) thick millboard or any other material
(tiles, marble or granite) with equivalent heat
resistance may be used. Check with your local
building authority before installation to determine
what other materials are acceptable in your area.
2. The hearth extension should be secured to the floor
and must extend a minimum of 1" (25 mm) under
the unit.
3. On a raised base or raised hearth, a "Z" shape piece
of metal must be fabricated to join from under the
fireplace to the hearth extension.
OUTSIDE AIR INSTALLATION FOR FIREPLACE AND AC CHIMNEY
During operation, the fireplace requires air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel
burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans and fan driven appliances may compete for air,
causing a negative pressure in the home and resulting in smoke entering the home from the fireplace. This situation
is aggravated in modern airtight houses. To overcome this potential problem, we recommend installing an
OUTSIDE AIR assembly and glass doors.
The fireplace's outside air control should be open when the fireplace is being used. The outside air control is located
behind the fireplace's lower louver. Pull this lever to open.
The OUTSIDE AIR assembly for fireplaces and air cooled chimneys is mandatory in some areas. Check with your
local building authority for the requirements in your area.
If the outside air assembly on the AC chimney is not installed, provide a supply of fresh air with an air intake in the
enclosure.
The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following guidelines: (see Figures 4 & 5)
1. The maximum length of insulated flexible duct 4" ID. (100 mm) is 20 ft (6.1 m). If a longer duct is required,
use a 6" ID. insulated (150 mm) flexible duct. The maximum length is 40 ft (12 m).
2. The duct and register may be installed above or below floor level.
3. The outside air register must not be installed more than 7 feet (2.1 m) above the base of the appliance.
4. The outside air assembly must come from outside the house. It must not draw air from the attic, the basement,
or a garage.
5. Locate the outside register where it will be well away from automobile exhaust fumes, or other vents.
6. The outside air register should be installed where it is not likely to be blocked by snow or exposed to extreme
wind.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
GENERAL NOTES
1. The Security fireplaces are listed only with Security Chimneys International Ltd systems. Do not connect the
fireplace to a masonry chimney, chimney liner, or other brand of metal chimney.
2. The chimney models HT6103+ and HT6000+ of Oliver MacLeod, division of Security Chimneys International
Ltd are respectively equivalent to models ASHT+ and S-2100+.
3. In areas with continuous temperatures below 0
0 F (-180 C) the use of an exterior chimney increases the
likelihood of operating problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting and poor start-up characteristics.
Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-drafting and flow reversal. Installations which are located low in the
house such as in a basement, in combination with outside chimneys, are especially prone to flow reversal. In
cold areas, air cooled chimneys should not be used in an exterior installation.
4. A chimney venting a fireplace shall not vent any other appliance.
5. The minimumsystem height, including the fireplace is the following:
Table 1
FIREPLACE MODEL SE36 / SB36 SB42 / SR42
CHIMNEY MODEL ASHT+ / HT6103+, S-2100+ / HT6000+ or AC
VERTICAL INSTALLATION 4.57 m (15’) 4.57 m (15’)
ONE OFFSET 5.49 m (18’) 5.49 m (18’)
TWO OFFSETS 6.10 m (20’) 6.10 m (20’)
6. In altitude, add 18" (450 mm) to the chimney for every 2000 ft. (600 m) above sea level.
WARNING:
In cold areas, an air cooled chimney may generate large amounts of water due to condensation. This water will
accumulate on top of the fireplace and may cause corrosion. Security Chimneys International Ltd cannot be
held responsible for condensation and corrosion problems. In cold climates, Security Chimneys International
recommends the use of ASHT+ / HT6103+ or S-2100+ / HT6000+ chimneys.
7. All chimney installations must include at least
one support. The maximum length of chimney
that can be supported by the fireplace is 6 ft. (1.8
m) for S-2100+ / HT6000+, 10 ft. (3m) for ASHT+
/ HT6103+ or 26 ft. (8 m) for AC.
8. The chimney must extend at least 3' (915 mm)
above its point of contact with the roof and at least
2 feet (610 mm) higher than any wall, roof or
building within 10' (3 m) of it. (see Figure 8)
9. If the chimney extends higher than 5' (1500 mm)
above the roof, it must be secured using a roof
brace or guide wires.
10. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney.
Failure to install a rain cap may cause the fireplace
to corrode and operate inefficiently.
11. Cut and frame square holes in all floors and the
roof to provide 2" (50 mm) of clearance between
the chimney and any combustible material. Do not
fill this 2" (50 mm) space with any material. (See
Figure 9)
12. Portions of the chimney which may extend
through accessible spaces must be enclosed to
avoid contact or damage to the chimney.

STRAIGHT INSTALLATION
Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor and roof where the chimney will pass. Use a plumb bob to line up the
center of the holes. See Table 2 for the hole sizes and Table 3 for the roof hole sizes
Table 2
From below, install a firestop in each floor through
which the chimney passes. At the attic level, install an
attic radiation shield from above. (Figures 10a - l0b).
Note: In cold climate locations, we recommend the
installation of an insulated radiation shield (RSI) where
the chimney penetrates the house's thermal barrier,
instead of a firestop. See details on page 15 (Insulated
Radiation Shield).
Place the first chimney length on the fireplace (A
starting section should be the first chimney length used
with the AC chimney).
Lock it into place. Continue installing chimney lengths
until you reach the desired height.
Put the roof support in place (Refer to page 16).
Put the roof flashing in place (sec fig. 11a & 11b). Seal
the joint between the roof and the flashing with roofing
pitch. For sloping roofs, place the flashing under the
upper shingles and on top of the lower shingles.
Nail the flashing to the roof using roofing rails.
Place the storm collar over the chimney and the
flashing, and caulk this joint, using silicone caulking.
Tighten it with the bolt supplied. Install the chimney
cap.

2 Elbows 18’ (5.49 m) 18’ (5.49 m)
4 Elbows 20’ (6.10 m) 20’ (6.10 m)
Table 4
After arriving at the location requiring the elbow, proceed as follows:
1. Install the first elbow. Turn it in the required direction. For ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+
chimneys, fasten it with the three (3) ½" (12 mm) metal screws provided. For AC, attach the elbow to the
surrounding framing using the straps already attached to the elbow.
2. Install the necessary lengths to achieve the required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together (for ASHT+ /
HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+ chimneys, secure them using three (3) ½" (12 mm) screws). If the offset
length is made of two (2) chimney lengths, use an offset support halfway up the offset. If penetrating a wall,
install a wall radiation shield.
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically. Again, secure the elbow using three (3) ½" (12 mm) metal
screws for ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+. For AC, attach the elbows to the surrounding framing,
using the straps already attached to the elbow.
4. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the hole. Cut a hole for the chimney in the cei1ing. Frame this hole
using 2" x 4" (50 x 100 mm) wood.
5. From below, install a radiation shield in this opening. (Upward for ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ /
HT6000+. Downward for AC. See Figure 10).
Note: When using a support on ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+, it may be necessary to cut
slots in the upper portion of the radiation shield so it will fit around the support brackets.
6. For ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+ chimneys, a support must be used on the first 15' section.
7. Continue with the regular installation.
Note - With ASHT+ / HT6103+ or S-2100+ / HT6000+ chimneys: An 8" length of chimney should be used
before an elbow can be installed. If an 8" length of chimney cannot be used, the radiation ring on the fireplace
will have to be cut to allow room for the elbow.
Note - With AC chimneys: An ACSB starting section must be used before installing an elbow. For those
situations where an offset is needed at the beginning, the ACSBO, a starting section with a built-in 4" (100 mm)
offset, is available.
Note: - 45° insulated elbow listed to ULC Standard S- 610 only, not for use in US.A.
In U.S.A. use 15° and 30° elbows only.

(See Figure #15)
When traversing a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30º or 45º angle, an angled firestop and / or wall radiation
shield must be installed. Only one is required.
NOTE: 45º ANGLE FOR CANADA ONLY.
In cold climate locations (such as Canada and Northern USA), we recommend that you use the insulated wall
radiation shield since it will maintain the home's thermal barrier.

INSULATED RADIATION SHIELD (RSI)
In cold climate locations, an insulated firestop may be
installed at the ceiling level. This will minimize heat loss
around the chimney at this location.
The insulated radiation shield should be installed from
below and the attic radiation shield installed from above.
UNIVERSAL ROOF SUPPORT INSTALLATION
This support has three possible uses:
1. For ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / H16000+, it must be used on a roof to support the chimney.
2. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the offset.
3. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support when the chimney height exceeds 15 ft.
Table 7 gives maximum height of supported chimney.
Note:For the AC chimney, a support section must be used every 40' instead of the roof support.
FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE MANUAL PROVIDED WITH THE ROOF
SUPPORT.
UNIVERSAL OFFSET SUPPORT INSTALLATION
This support is used to support a chimney above an offset. When the chimney offset is used to traverse a wall, this
support may be used on the wall to support the chimney. The maximum height is given in Table 7.
