OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES:

U.S. INSTALLATIONS — Follow local codes and the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

Cold Climate Insulation

In cold climates, insulation of the enclosure around the

firebox is suggested to avoid problems with cold air.

Insulating the enclosure around the firebox is

recommended, but not a requirement.

The following steps are suggested to minimize cold air

problems.

Insulate the base of the firebox with a noncombustible

insulation. This step is particularly important for outside

wall installations over concrete slab floor construction. If

a platform is used to raise the firebox, the insulation

should be placed on top of the platform before the

firebox is set. (Fig. 9)

Refer to Page 5, Figure 3 for minimum clearances to

combustibles.

Inspect joints of the firebox as well as the points of

sealing between the firebox and the finishing materials.

Any cracks should be sealed with noncombustible

caulking or insulation. Refer to Figures 9 and 10 for

details of sealing between the firebox and finishing

materials.

When a firebox is installed in a chase or on an outside

wall, the enclosure should be insulated like any other

outside wall of the home. Plywood or hardboard may be

placed on the standoffs and insulation placed on this

surface. (Fig. 10) Noncombustible insulation, such as

vermiculite, Pearlite, Zonalite or unfaced fiberglass

insulation, may be used between the exterior of the

firebox and chase drywall up to 1" from the top of the

firebox.
