PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Proper preparation prior to installing the Contempo fireplace is VERY IMPORTANT and will eliminate

costly delays created by call-back inspections, re-framing or removing framing to meet clearance

requirements, as well as additional trips and charges by the installer.

CHIMNEY CHASE REQUIREMENTS

...for air cooled 12/15 Contempo Chimney System or Equivalent

If the fireplace is being installed in new construction, the flue clearance must

first be established. A 2" minimum clearance from combustible materials is

required. Fire-blocking is required between the joists in which the flue will be

installed. An enclosed chase should be constructed with an open clear

space of 19"x19" minimum in attic or closet (24"x19" or 24"x24") see FIG. 1

on this page, and above the roof to a height of 2'0: above a parapet or roof

peak. A ½" plywood or wafer board should cap the chase in which a 19"

minimum diameter circle should be removed, and over which the roof

flashing should be centered and mounted.

Note: Roof or floor decking should NOT cover any

part of the chase opening.

In an existing house where the ceiling joist locations or direction are

unknown, their location can be found by using a stud finder. If a joist is

encountered within this space, it must be cut and headered (as per the

local building code). Check before cutting!

To complete the chimney preparation, follow the steps outlined above for new

construction requirement.

COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM

INSIDE WALL INSTALLATION

If the fireplace is located on an interior wall the dryer-vent cover can be

installed on a roof flue chase (See FIG. 2) and then a flex aluminum

duct can be attached to the sleeve with enough duct to reach the floor

on which the firebox sits. Attach duct to firebox air manifold for gas

conversions only.

Note: Combustion air supply ducts should not be accessed in attic spaces.

WARNING:

If fireplace is wood burning DO NOT ATTACH

combustion air duct to air manifold.

OUTSIDE WALL INSTALLATION

If the fireplace is located on an outside wall a Contempo outside air vent

needs to be installed. When the chase wall is going to be masonry it is best

to install this air vent as the wall is being built. If the chase wall is frame,

the vent should be installed between the studs and a few inches above the

base plate, the vent should be screwed into place before exterior finishing,

it can be adjusted for exterior finish thickness.
