PRECAUTIONS
Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult
to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is
recommended thatthe installer bea qualified or
certified "tradesman" familiar with commonly
accepted fireplace installation and safety tech-
piques as well as prevailing local codes.
The most important areas of concern dealing
with the installation of factory-built fireplaces are
clearances to combustible materials, proper as-
sembly of component parts, height of the chim-
ney system, the proper use of accessories sup-
plied by the manufacturer and the techniques
employed in using finishing materials applied to
the wall surrounding the fireplace, hearth exten-
sions and wall shields. Each of these topics will
be covered in thorough detail throughout this
manual. Please give each your special attention
as you progress with your installation.
INTRODUCTION
General Information
The CST -38 and CPF -38 Series are radiant -
heat, two -sided and three -sided fireplaces with
required glass doors, that must be ordered
separately. A steel grate is included with the
CST -38 and CPF -38 to properly position the
fire. An outside combustion air kit is available
as optional equipment.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Note: illustrations showrrreflect 'typical "instal -
lations with nominal dimensions and am for
design and framing referenceonly. Actual instal-
lations may varydue to individual design prefer -
enc s. However ,alwaysmantainminimumclear -
ances to combustible materials and do not vio-
late airy specific installation requirements.
These fireplaces have been tested and listed by
Omni Test Labs (Report No. 116 -F -20-4) to
U.L. standard 127 and U.L.C. S610 for Cana-
dian installations. These units are intended for
installation in residential homes and other build-
ings of conventional construction including
cornmercial, not in mobile homes.
These fireplace systems are designed for in-
stallation in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Standard for chimneys, fireplaces
and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211
and in accordance with codes such as the BOCA
Basic/National Codes, the Standard Mechani-
cal Code and the Uniform Building Codes.

The CST and CPF systems consists of four
"subsystems":
1. The Fireplace and Door Assemblies
2. The Chimney and Termination
3. The Optional Combustion Air Kit
4. The Chimney Air Kit (Canada Only)
CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace may be placed on or near normal
construction materials*. The combustion air
kit, firestop spacer and roof flashing (not chase
fiashings) maybe placed directly on or against
normal construction materials.* (The chimney
and fireplace outer wrapper require a mini-
mum 2" and 1/2" air space to combustibles
respectively). A combustible mantle may be
installed 12" above the opening of the fireplace
as per NFPA 211, Section 7- 2.3.3.
The CPF -38 fireplace opening must be kept a
minimum of 8" (203 mm) from an unprotected
combustible side wall. The CST -38 fireplace
opening must be kept a minimum of 8"
(203 mm) from a protected combustible side
wall. A perpendicular side wall can not be
closer that 8" (203 mm) for both the CPF -38
and CST -38 fireplaces (see Figure 60 and
Figure 61). If there is a continuous perpen-
dicular side wall closer than 18" from
the CST -38 fireplace opening, it must be pro-
tected with a 40" x 40" (1016 mm x
1016 mm ) wall shield constructed of mill-
board or a durable noncombustible material
with an equal or greater insulating value than
k =.84 BTU iN/FTP HR °F (refer to page 18).
As with all chimney installations, avoid over-
head obstructions such as trees, power lines,
etc. Additionally chimney terminations must
meet certain clearance to roof requirements
detailed in the paragraph titled Ten -Foot Rule
Summary.
The fireplace and chimney system must be
enclosed when installed in or passing through
a living area where combustibles or people
may come in contact with it. This is important
to prevent possible personal injury or fire
hazard.

tion. A chase should be constructed and insu-
latedjust like anyoutside wall. Ina cold climate,
we recommend the base of the chase should
also be insulated between the solid continuous
floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bot-
tom. Chase insulation in a cold climate installa-
jioq is regyired for safety.

ASSEMBLY OUTLINE
Before You Start
Check you inventory list to be sure you have all
the necessary parts supplied in good usable
condition. Check also for any concealed damage.
Check the operation of the damper. The damper
is controlled through the use of a control lever
located within the firebox opening at the top
center just behind the firebox lintel (Figure 3).
The control lever snaps into place at the ex-
treme range of motion, up in the open position.
When pulled down, the damper is closed.

LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.
Figure 4
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adja-
cent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen ex-
haust fans and /or return air registers for forced
air furnaces /air conditioners that could cause
a smoking fireplace condition if the house is
tightly insulated.
This system is intended to be installed in resi-
dential homes and buildings of conventional
construction, not in mobile homes.
When locating the fireplace, consideration must
be given to combustibles and final finishing.
For an example of this, see Figure 5 and
confine the final location of combustible finish
materials to the "Safe Zone".
DO NOT permanently place furniture or other
items such as decorative pillows within &T of
the fireplace front face.

ASSEMBLY STEPS
Note: The following steps representthenormal
sequence of installation. Each installation is
unique, however, and might require a different
sequence.
1. Position firebox prior to framing or into
prepared framing.
2. Install the chimney air kit (Canada only)
3. Install the chimney system.
4. Install optional outside combustion air kit.
5. Plumb gas line if a decorative gas appliance

7. Complete finish wall material, surround and
hearth extension to your individual taste.
Study the three dimensional illustration (Fig-
ure 1) to get a general idea of each element of
your fireplace system.
PRE - INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It
may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply-
wood, particle board or other hard surfaces.
Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous
floor or platform with appropriate framing for
support and so that no cold air can enter the
room from under the fireplace.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the
framing built around it, or the framing may be
constructed and the fireplace positioned into
the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for
the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace
system including chimney and surround ma-
terials such as brick, stone, etc., to be in-
stalled. Shipping weights for the fireplace may
be found on page 18.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor
space to be occupied by the system, surrounds
and hearth extensions.
3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6's, 2 x 8's
or 2 x 10's, singe or double joists, type and
thickness of floor boards.
4. Use this information and consult your local
building code to determine if you need addi-
tional support.

the event a wooden support is used to elevate
the fireplace above the floor, a "Z" type safety
strip should be fabricated and used to protect
the front surface of the wood support as well
as the floor beneath the hearth extension (see
Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11 ). The safety strips
should be tacked down to prevent possible
movement.
Note: The "Z" type safety strip is not supplied.

Note: The nailing tabs are exempt from the
fireplace clearances described on the fireplace
clearance label.
For Canadian Installations Proceed with
Steps 5-8.
Step 5. Remove one of the knockouts from
either the left or right side of the fireplace
transition. Attach the 4" (102 mm) collar from
the FOAK -4 chimney air kit to the transition,
using the four (4) No. 8 x W screws provided
(Figure 27).

Step 6. Connect the 4" (102 mm) Class 0 or
Class 1 air duct to the collar (just mounted) with
two (2) No. 6 x %" screws provided in the
hardware kit.
Step7. Route the Class Oor Class 1 air duct out
the back or side wall, up through the ceiling or
floor joists to an outside wall. The air duct
should be located above snow level.
Note: If the fireplace is installed against an
inside wall, the Class O or Class 1 air duct may
be extended irtoa ventilated attic space at least
18" (457mm) above the attic floor. Secure the
duct hood to a vertical post with the inlet
positioned downward. Ensure nothing blocks
the hood opening. Do not terminate the duct
hood higher than the chimney.
Step 8. Cut or frame a hole through the outside
wall for the installation of the duct inlet hood. A
4 W (114 mm) diameter hole is sufficient. Feed
the loose end of the flexible air duct through the
hole cut for the inlet hood and attach to collar on
inlet hood using two (2) No. 6 x W' screws
provided. Insert hood into opening. Secure in
place with the No. 8 x 1 W screws provided or
with nails driven through holes in hood flange.
Seal with noncombustible waterproof silicon
type caulking. If additional air duct is needed,
use Class 0 or Class 1 metallic duct.
INSTALLING TFI CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Step 1. Check flue damper for proper opera-
tion. To open, push handle up and release.
Damper will open automatically. To close, pull
handle down and release damper will fall to the
closed position.
Note: The damper may be operated from both
Firebox openings.
Step 2. Using standard construction framing
techniques, constructopeningforchimney route

A minimum 2' (51 mm) air space must be
reserved for all combustible materials extend-
ing for any continuous length surrounding the
chimney.
Reference Figures 24 and 25and charts "Fram-
ing Dimensions for Ceiling and Roof" on page
8, which specify minimum ceiling and roof
dimensions.
For new construction, to determine chimney
center line, use plumb line from roof or ceiling
above fireplace to center of flue collar on
fireplace.
For remodeling, plumb to center of flue collar
from ceiling above, drive nail through ceiling
from below to mark position, then mark and
cut to passage from above ceiling (around
nail) (Figure28). Then plumb from ceiling or
roof level directly above hole which has just
been completed.
Figure 28
Step 3. Position appropriate firestop spacer at
ceiling and nail temporarily with two (2) 8d
nails. Use flat firestop spacer, Model F8FS -2,
if chimney penetrates cei I i ng vertically. If chim-
ney penetrates ceiling at 30° angle (offset
chimney), use Model F8FS30 -2. Nailed, one
each on opposite sides to hold firestop spacer
in position. Fasten permanently, using at least
two (2) more 8d nails or equivalent, after
chimney sections have been assembled
through the firestop spacer and after any nec-
essary adjustments have been made. Firestop
spacer must be secured by at least four (4) 8d
nails or equivalent when completely installed.
Note: If there is a room above ceiling level,
firestopspacermustbe installed on thebottom
side of the ceiling. If an attic is above ceiling
level, firestop spacer must be installed on top
side of ceiling joist (Figures 29 and 30).

For Canada Only
When installing the chimney system through
an open attic space, the attic shield assembly -
firestop spacer must be used (Figure 31). This
installation is Warnock Hersey inc. listed only
for use in Canada.
Figure 31
Step4. Note: Chimney sectionsareconstructed
with a unique locking tab design which en-
sures an immediate, tight assembly between
sections. Plan your chimney requirements
carefully before assembly as chimney is diffi-
cult to disassemble after installation. If disas-
sembled, the tabs might become damaged. Be
certain tabs are properly formed to ensure
tabs engage properly.
The FTF8 chimney system is a two -piece chim-
ney, which snaps together from the fireplace
up. Start with the inner flue section. With the
lanced end up, snap -lock it into the matching
collar on top of the fireplace. At all subsequent
joints, the upper flue section fits into the
preceding flue section. Each piece snaps to-
gether by means of locking tabs (7 locking
tabs per joint). Check each piece by pulling up
slightly from the top to ensure proper engage-
ment before installing succeeding sections, If
the flue has been installed correctly, it will not
separate when you test it. Also, the inner flue
joint where each section is joined should be
tight and flat without gaps (Figure 32).
Figure 32
Outer pipe section installs in just the opposite
way; the lanced end goes down and each new
section goes OVER the outside of the previous
section installed (Figure 33).

Check vertical alignment of chimney pipe so
that it projects from the roof in a true vertical
position. Security's chimney sections do not
need to be screwed together. Additional rein-
forcement is not necessary, except in certain
offset conditions (see to page 16, Figure 47 ).
Step 5. The height of vertical chimney pipe
supported only by the fireplace must not ex-
ceed 30' (9.1 m). Chimney heights above 30'
(9.1 m) must be supported by a Model FTF8 -
S4 stabilizer installed at 30' (9.1 m) intervals.
Note: The Model FTF8 -S4 adds 3' (76 mm) net
effective height to the total chimney system.
Install the Model FTF8 -S4 stabilizer by fitting
inner section down into respective section of
proceeding flue pipe and locking outer stabi-
lizer section into place over the outer chimney
pipe. Position for proper clearance through
framed opening and nail straps securely (un-
der tension in "shear") into place on framing.
Use 8d nails. Attach successive lengths of
chimney pipe directly to stabilizer using same
techniques as described in Step 4 (Figure 35).
•►�\ 4,• 4r\

Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any
subsequent chimney sections following the
stabilizer when installing. Ensure each subse-
•Vet, Vireo, section is securely attached by
to stn toted in Step 4.

Step 6. Select proper Security Chimneys roof
flashing based on pitch of roof. Use chart below
for selection:
Roof Pitch

Flat to 6/12
F8-F6
6/12 to 12/12
F8 -F12
Next, slide roof flashing over extended chimney
section that previously has been installed above
the roof opening in Step 4. FTF8 flashings
require flashing spacers. Slide flashling all the
way down until the flashing base rests flat on
the roof (Figure 36). Agin, check the vertical
position of the chimney and the 2" (51 mm)
minimum air space to combustibles.
Note: Do not caulk or seal the ventilating
openings.
Figure 36
Step 7. Secure flashing by nailing along the
perimeter into roof using 8d nails or equivalent.
If shingled roof, slide upper end and sides of
roof flashing under shingles (trim if neces-
sary), seal the top and both sides of the flashing
to the roof with roof caulking. Cover nail heads
with roof caulking (Figure 37 ).

Step 8. The standard Security Chimneys FTF8
roof flashing assembly includes a storm col-
lar. Slide storm collar over outer chimney,
align with top surface of flashing, insert storm
tab in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over
slot. Seal storm collar to outer chimney with
roof caulking or mastic around entire circum-
ference of pipe. Also add extra roof caulking
where storm collar meets flashing and to the
tab /slot area to seal completely against water
penetration (Figure 38). Check all joints very
carefully to ensure no water intrusion can
take place.
Locking Band
Figure 38
Step 9. Security Chimneys locking band,
Model FLB, may be required if the chimney
extends too high above the roof flashing. As
a general rule, if the chimney extends more
than 6' (1.8 m) above the roof/flashing, the
use of locking bands is advisable to strengthen
the chimney joints. Align the locking band at
the pipe joint. Locking bands wrap around
pipe joints equally covering the joints of both
pipe sections. Use nut provided and TIGHTEN
snugly. Do not over tighten as this might
damage chimney section (Figure 38).
Note: If chimney extends more than 8' (2.4 m)
above roof surface, guy wires are also recom-
mended. Use three (3) guy wires, attach to
locking band assembly, extend and secure to
roof in a triangular pattern (Figure 39 ). Guy
wires are not supplied by the manufacturer

Step 10. Using an FTF8 -CTD Round Termi-
nation:
1. Hold FTF8 -CTD over top of last chimney
section (Figure40).
2. Center inner slip section in inner flue pipe -
slip down.
3. Center outer locking section over outer flue
pipe. Push down until locking tabs are firmly
engaged.
4. Pull up slightly on CTD to ensure locking
joint has firmly engaged.
Using a FTF8 -CTDT Chase Termination:
Refer to specific installation instructions in-
cluded with the FTF8 -CTDT chase termination
for clearance and installation details.
Using a FTF8 -CT1 Chase Termination:
Refer to specific installation instructions in-
cluded with FTF8 -CT1 chase terminations for
clearance and installation details.
Using a FTF8 -CT2 Chase Termination:
Refer to specific installation instructions in-
cluded with FTF8 -CT2 chase terminations for
clearance and installation details.
Note: It is recommended that all exterior ex-
posed metal fhreplace components; such as ter-
minations, flashings, storm collars and /or flue
be painted with a premium quality, high tem-
perature, rust preventative paint designed for
metal. This is especially important when instal-
lations are made in abnhrmallyadvers.e or corro-
siveenvironmentssuchas near lakes, oceans or
in areas with consistently high humidity condi-
tions. Consult the paint manufacturers instruc-
tions for proper preparation and application.
Figure 41
TEN FOOT RULE SUMMARY
The minimum chimney height above the roof
and /or to adjacent walls and buildings is speci-
fied by all major building codes.
If the horizontal distance from the peak of the
roof is less then 10' (3 m), the top of the
chimney must be at least 2' (610 mm) above
the peak of the roof.
If the horizontal distance from the chimney
edge to the peak of the roof is more than 10'
(3 m), a chimney height reference point is
established on the roof surface located hori-
zontally 10' (3 m) from the chimney edge. The
top of the chimney must be at least 2' (610
mm) above this reference point. In all cases,
the chimney cannot be less then 3' (914 mm)
above the roof at the edge of the chimney.
The 2' in 10' rule is necessary in the interest of
safety, but does not ensure smoke -free opera-
tion. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines,
adverse wind conditions, etc., may require a
taller chimney should the fireplace not draft
properly (see Figure 41).
MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS
If more than one termination is located in the
same chase or within the same general prox-
imity, we suggest they should be separated in
distance at least 24" (610 mm) horizontally
from flue center to flue center and stacked or
staggered vertically at least l 8 (410mm) apart,
from the termination of one smoke exit to the
termination of another smoke exit (Figure 42).
Figure 42
This suggestion is provided in the interest of
better operation. If the terminations are located
too close to each other, smoke may migrate
from one flue into the other.
FTF8 CHIMNEY COMPONENT
CALCULATIONS
The minimum installed height of the CST and
CPF fireplace systems (including fireplace and
chimneycomponents) is 15' (4.6 m). 25' (7.6m)
with two offsets. The maximum system height
is 80' (24.4 m).
To determine the number of chimney sections
and chimney components required. follow
these steps:
1. Determine total vertical height of the fire-
place installation. This dimension is measured
from the surface the fireplace sets.an,to thr
point where smoke exits frorrtthe termisiattgg

2. Determine the number of chimney compo-
nents required, except chimney sections. This
would include firestop spacers, stabilizers,
roof flashing, etc.

chimney components from total desired
height.)
Reference Vertical Elevation Chart and deter-
mine the number of chimney sections (quantity
and Length) required.
SPECIAL OFFSET INSTRUCTIONS
To clear any overhead obstructions, you may
offset your chimney system using Security
Chimneys 30° offset and return elbows. Use
two elbows - an offset elbow to initiate the
offset and a return elbow to terminate it. A
30° offset elbow, angling in any direction,
may be the first component used off the top
of the fireplace flue collar.

The offset and return elbows may be attached
together, or a section or sections of chimney
may be used between, but do not exceed 20'
(6.1 m) in total length between elbows (Figure
44 ). If sections of pipe exceed 10' (3 m)
between elbows, a chimney stabilizer must be
used at the midpoint. The stabilizer support
straps must be attached under tension (in
shear) to structural framing members above.
When two sets of offset elbows are used, the
maximum combined length of chimney used
between elbows cannot exceed 20' (6.1 m)
(Figures 45 and 46). Example: Ile, = 10' (3m)
then C2 cannot exceed 10' (3 m).
If an offset exceeds 6' in length, each chimney
joint beyond the first 6' of offset to the return
elbow, must be secured by a No. 8 x W sheet
metal screw located at the underside of the
joint (Figure 47).
Figure 47
A W (3 mm) diameter hole must be drilled in
the chimney joint using a W (3 mm) diameter
drill. Hole should be drilled in center of joint
overlap (Figure 48). Be sure to drill onlythrough
the outer chimney casting. Do not puncture the
inner flue.

Two offset elbows must not be assembled to
form a 60° offset. However, two sets of offset
and return elbows may be used on single fl4e,
system, provided the total he:Aof:he systefi•
exceeds 25'(7.6 m). • • • •

OFFSET CALCULATIONS
1. Use Offset Chart to determine arrant of
horizontal offset (A) and height (B) for various
chimney sections.
2. Use "Height of Chimney Only" column to
determine combinations of pipe used above
return elbow to achieve desired heights. Refer-
ence Components Effective Height Chart in
vertical elevation chart section.
3. Use Elevation Chart as job estimator only.
Add necessary firestop spacers and stabilizers
as required. Firestop spacers must be used as
shown in Figures 29 and 30 and stabilizers as
shown in Figure 35.
INSTAWNG OFFSETS
First, review Offset Elevation Chart and Figure
43 on page 15 for reference.
Step 1. Determine the offset distance where
chimney is to pass through the first ceiling -
dimension "A." To find this point on your ceil-
ing, first determine the center point for a verti-
cal chimney following the instructions for ver-
tical installation.
Measure height to the ceiling from the top of
fireplace- dimension "B." Use Offset Elevation
Chart to find dimension "A." Mark point where
you will drive your nail to show the center poirt
for you offset ceiling cut.
Step2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Instal-
lation Instructions for cutting and framing ceil-
ing and roof openings.
Note: See "Framing and Dimension" Chart for
the sizes of the ceiling and roof openings. The
size of the roof opening varies with the degree
of pitch of the roof.
OFFSET ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Offset elbows install the same as chimney
sections. First, snap the inner section INTO the
pprecedinlinner section of flue. Check connec-
pioa by pulling Ip slightly to ensure a tight fit
k outek Sections snap locks OVER the
pieteiigq of ‘ section of chimney. Again,
check outer section by pulling up slightly to
ensure proper connection is made.

RETURN ELBOW ASSEMBLY
Return elbows install the same way as round
terminations and stabilizers:
Step 1. Hold return elbow over top of last
chimney section.
Step 2. Center inner slip section into inner flue
pipe -slip down.
Step 3. Center outer locking section over outer
chimney pipe -push down until locking joint has
firmly engaged.
Step 4. Pull up slightly on return elbow to
ensure locking joint has firmly engaged.
Step 5. Secure support straps to framing
members by nailing under tension in sheer
(Figure 49).
Figure 49
Note: The return elbow assembly performs the
same function as a stabilizer. Consider this
when determining the need for a stabilizer.
Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any
subsequent chimney section following return
elbow assembly when installing. Ensure sub -
sequentchimneysectionsaresecurelyattached
by testing as noted above.
CHIMNEY OFFSET 30° THROUGH FLOOR
OR CEILING
It may be necessary to assemble the chimney
at 30° when passing through the floor or
ceiling area. Use the F8FS30 -2 firestop spacer
as shown in Figures 50 and 51.
Support the chimney at floor or ceiling pen-
etration with a FTF8 stabilizer if distance of
chimney below ceiling is 10' (3 m) or more.
Maintain 2" (51 mm) minimum air space to
combustibles from chimney sections. The
chimney must pass vertically through the
attic space.

Both the CST and CPF fireplaces require the
use of glass doors. The selection of glass
doors available for use with these fireplaces
are: 38ABF, 38ABF -BB and 38TBA -BB. For
the CPF system, end panels model 38AEP
and 38AEP -BB are available. Refer to the
Suggested List Price Sheet. The use of any
other non- listed door on these fireplaces
may result in a potential fire hazard and is
not recommended.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NECESSARY TO ORDER
AND INSTALL THE DOOR STYLE OF YOUR
CHOICE. GLASS DOORS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
CAUTION: REMOVE THE PLASTIC PROTEC-
TIVE COATING FROM THE DOORS BRASS
PIECES BEFORE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLA-
TION. FAILURE TO REMOVE THE COATING
BEFORE FIRST USE WILL RESULT IN DAM-
AGE TO THE BRASS FINISH.
Make a careful inspection of all parts before
installing the doors to insure they are undam-
aged and complete. There will be two (2)
glass door assemblies for both sides of the
CST -38 fireplace and two (2) glass door as-
semblies plus one (1) end panel for the CPF -
38 fireplace.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE DOORS WITH
YOUR HANDS WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS iN
USE. ALWAYS USE DOOR HANDLES. DOORS
WILL BECOME VERY HOT WHEN FIREPLACE
1S iN USE.
Note: Design characteristics ofa dual- opening
fireplace (whether masonry or factory- built)
may cause it to not draft properly and smoke.
For this reason, glass doors are required with
Models CST -38 and CPF -38 fireplaces.
WARNING- THESE FIREPLACES SHOULD
BE OPERATED ONLY WITH THE DOORS

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Combustion Air Kit
Use combustion air kit, Model FOAK -4 or
FOAK -4LD (Figure 53 ), with these fireplace
systems. Refer to installation instructions
packed with the air kit for specific information.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. The outside air kit
must be installed before the fireplace is framed
and enclosed in the finished walls.
There is a one -hand operated shut -off valve
located in the enclosed corner of the fireplace
opening behind the screen. Refer to label for
directions of operation.
The combustion air damper should be fully
open when the fireplace is in operation and
fully closed when the fireplace is not in use to
prevent outside air from entering your home.
If additional length of duct is necessary, pur-
chase locally available Class 0 or Class 1 duct-
ing. The duct may extend up to 50' (15.2 m) in
any direction. ... . •

Note: Do not terminate combustion air kit in
attic space under any circumstances.
CAUTION: IN NO EVENT MAY THE TOTAL DUCT
FOR BRINGING IN OUTSIDE AIR EXCEED 50'
(15.2 M).
GAS LiNE INSTALLATION
The CST and CPF fireplaces have been ap-
proved to accept a'" (13 mm) gas line for an
approved gas appliance. Always have the appli-
ance installed by a qualified, licensed plumber
in accordance with all local building codes. The
gas firm may enter either end of the fireplace.
CAUTION: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS SHOULD
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED, LI-
CENSED PLUMBER. MAIN GAS SUPPLY MUST
BE OFF WHEN PLUMBING GAS LINE TO FIRE-
• PLACE OR PERFORMING SERVICE.
. If you're installing a gas line, connect it before
• the fireplace is framed and enclosed in the
finished wall. The gas knockout is determined
by a 1 Ya" (29 mm) round indentation located
althe bottom and slightly off center in the side
••retsactories.

THE KNOCKOUT IS ALWAYS REMOVED FROM
INSIDE THE FIREPLACE. DD NOT REMOVE
THE KNOCKOUT UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALL-
iNG A GAS LINE. If removal is attempted from
the outer wrapper, side - refractory damage may
occur. With a medium -sized hammer, lightly
tap the surface of the indentation. The refrac-
tory material is very thin in this area and iseasily
removed. Once a small hole has been made,
continue tapping until you have reached suffi-
cient diameter for the gas line to fit through. The
entire knockout does not have to be removed.
Remove insulation in the gas line channel.
Install a Y2" (13 mm) gas supply line through
fireplace wall for connection to a decorative
gas appliance inside the firebox. Outside, the
gas supply line must connect to a gas shut -off
valve usually recessed flush into the wall or
floor. The valve should be controlled by a
removable valve key for safety.
Always plumb gas line installation per local
codes. Check all connections and test for gas
leaks, using a gas leak test solution (also
referred to as bubble leak solution).
Note: Using a soapy water solution (50% dish
soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test
solution but it is not recommended, because
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/
fittings can resultincon-osionovertime. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks.
IMPORTANT: REPACK INSULATION MATE-
RIAL IN SQUARE HOLE AROUND GAS LINE,
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, TO SEAL.
In Canada, this provision is intended for con-
nection to a decorative gas appliance only in
accordance with the latest National Gas Instal-
lation Code, CAN 1- B149.1. This complies
with the ULC S610 standard.
For all areas other than Canada, this provision
is intended only for connection to a decorative
gas appliance incorporating an automatic shut-
off device and complying with the standard for
Decorative Gas Appliances for installation in
vented fireplaces, ANSI 121.60. Install in ac-
cordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1.
CAUTION: WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE
GAS APPLIANCE, THE FIREPLACE DAMPER
MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION.
••
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
If you live in a cold climate, it is especially •
important to seal all cracks around the fire-
place and wherever cold air could enter the
room with noncombustible material. Surrovi
material must be caulked where it meetsthe
black metal facing of the fireplace to avoid
cold air intrusion. •
Use noncombustible caulking material only
on fireplace facing to seal. Also, the outside
air inlet duct should be wrapped with non-
combustible insulation to minimize the for-
mation of condensation. Do not place insu-
lation materials directly against the chimney
sections.
Note: 2' (51 mm) airspace must be preserved
for all materials extending for any continuous
length adjacent to the chimney.
It is especially important to insulate between
the studs of an outside chase cavity and under
the floor if the floor is above ground level. Do
not place insulation directly against the fire-
place or chimney system.
FIREPLACE FINISHES
Mantels and Trim
It is sometimes best to frame your fireplace
after it is positioned and the chimney is in-
stalled. Frame enclosure for chimney and
fireplace with 2 x 4's (or heavier) lumber.
Note: The header may rest on the two (2) metal
top spacers on top of the unit but the header
must not be notched to fitaround the spacers.
In Canada, the minimum height for a combus-
tible mantel is 18" (457 mm) above the open-
ing. Figure 54 shows typical Canadian instal-
lation. In installations other than Canada, com-
bustible mantels and trim may be installed 12'
(305mm) above the opening as per NFPA 211,
Section 7- 3.3.3. and figure 55. If a mantel is
of a noncombustible material, it is exempt
from the requirements as long as it does not
interfere with the operation of glass doors.

Hearth Extensions and Wall Shields
A hearth extension must be installed with
all fireplaces. It is to protect the combustible
floor in front of the fireplace from both radiant
heat and sparks. The hearth extension must
extend 8' beyond both sides of the fireplace
opening and 16' beyond the front (see Figure
56). Use a hearth extension constructed of a
durable noncombustible material having an
equal or better (lower k value) insulating value
of k = .84 BTU IN/FT2 HR °F or a thermal
resistance that equals or exceeds r = 1.19 HR
°F FTz /BTU IN. With these values, determine
the minimum thickness /material required us-
ing the formula and Page 19.
Note: Any noncombustible material whose k
value is less than .84 or whose r value is more
than 1.19 is acceptable.
If the fireplace is installed on a combustible
floor, use the metal safety strips (provided)
on the floor extending half under the fire-
place and half under the hearth extension
(refer to Figures 6 & 7).
For the CST -38 a wall shield is required where
a continuous perpendicular side wall is within
18" of the fireplace opening (Figures 57 & 58).
Use a 40" W x 40" H wall shield constructed of
a durable, noncombustible material having an
equal or better (lower k value) insulating value
than k = .84 BTU IN/FT2 HR °F. At no time may
a perpendicular side wall be located closer than
8" from the fireplace opening.
If fireplace is installed diagonally across a 90°
corner; no wall shields are required.

Calculating Minimum Thickness if Multiple
Materials are Used
At times it is important to know what
combination of materials are acceptable for
use as floor protection. The "R values" are
used to determine acceptable combinations of
materials because " R values" are additive where
r and k values are not.
"Rvalue "= 1/k = "r "xthitkmessof material
used
Example: Given that the required "R value"
for a suitable floor protector used must be
equal to or greater than:
"R " =rlxT = 1.19x1"= 1.19."
If it is desired to elevate a marble hearth ex-
tension to a level of 5" or more above the floor
surface. What combination of noncombus-
tible materials can be used to accomplish this?
If common brick is used so that the 3 1/2"
dimension is the height, "R" for the common
brick becomes:
brick
"R "M= rMxTS= 0.20 x31/2" =.70
Using 1/2" of mortar to set the brick, "R" for
the mortar is calculated as follows:
mortar
"R "M =rMx TS= 0.20 x 112" =.10
!Next, a 3/4" marble slab set in 1/2" mortar cov-
ers the brick, "R" for the marble and mortar
becomes:
marble
"R "M = rM x Ts = 0.05 x 3/4" = .038
mortar
"R "M= rWxTs= 0.20 x1/2" =.10
WARNING: THE CRACK BETWEEN THE
FIREPLACE AND THE HEARTH EXTEN-
SION MUST BE SEALED WITH A NON-
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THE
HEARTH EXTENSION BE CAREFUL NOT
TO BLOCK THE HEAT- CIRCULATING AIR
INLET GRILL,
The sum of all "R values" is: .70 + .10 +. 038
+.10 =.938
This would NOT be an acceptable combination
of material for the hearth extension since the
total calculated "R value" of the materials used
is under the required "R value" of 1.19. An
additional layer of insulating materials must
be used.
Note: Also see NFI Certification Manuals for
expanded explanation on calculating "R val-
ues" when multiple materials are used.

FINISH TO YOUR TASTE
There are a wide variety of "finished looks" for
your CST and CPF fireplace from formal wall
decor with elaborate mantels to rustic wood
paneling or warm brick facings.
Only noncombustible materials like marble,
stone, tile, brick, etc. may overlap the black
front facing, but be careful not to interfere with
theoperatiori of the qlass doors. Seal all joints
between the black facing and wall surrounds
to prevent cold air intrusion. Use noncombus-
tible caulking material only to seal the black
metal facing to the surround material on the
finished wall.
Combustibles may also project beyond the
sides of the fireplace opening as long as they
are kept within the shaded areas, as illustrated
in Figures 60 and 61.
