INSTALLATION INTO A
SOLID FUEL BURNING
FIREPLACE OR
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
The E33 Gas Inserts have been tested and
approved to be vented into any masonry
fireplace or approved solid fuel burning
factory built fi replace that will allow the insert
to physically fi t into the fi rebox. Refer to the
"Minimum Fireplace Dimensions" section.
If the factory built fi replace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffl e plate and damper from the factory
built fi replace as long as these items are
saved and are reinstalled in the event that
the Insert is removed. NOTE: Any alterations
made to the listed solid fuel burning factory
built fi replace may void the listing of the
fi replace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of
the fi replace, in which the gas fi replace insert
is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fi replace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the fi 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.
The fi replace and fi replace chimney must be
clean and in good working order and constructed
of non-combustible materials and chimney
cleanouts must fi t properly. Refractory, glass
doors, screen rails, screen mesh, and log
grates can be removed from the fi replace before
installing the gas fi replace insert. Smoke shelves,
shields and baffl es may be removed if attached
by mechanical fasteners. A tight connection
between the gas fi replace insert fl ue collar and
the fi replace chimney must be made.
*Check with your local inspector before commencing
with this installation.
