FIREBOX CHASE REQUIREMENTS

A framed chase or masonry chase is required for all

CONTEMPO fireplaces. The plan and section dimensions

are illustrated in FIG 3 and FIG 4. If the fireplace is being set

on a wood floor it must be set on 6 sets of 2- 1 1/4" thick

masonry bricks high with a piece of 24 gauge steel metal

sandwiched in between, and arranged as indicated in FIG 3.

Wherever carpeting and padding are present, they should be

removed (including the total area of the hearth extension).

See page 8 for hearth extension details.

WARNING: The hearth opening to side walls requires

a minimum of 21" distance to combustible materials.

If the fireplace chase is going to be attached to one wall, the

outside edge of the base should be set no closer than 16" to

a combustible wall. See FIG 3. A wood chase can be

constructed up to the firebox (no clearance is required). The

width of the framing should be ½" less than the width of the

fireplace to allow for sheetrock. When installed, the

sheetrock should be flush with the face of the fireplace.

The combustible header required in the chase design, over

the entire fireplace, must be a minimum of 66" above the

hearth floor. Masonry board should cover any voids from the

header to the fireplace and to the studs, which can be

screwed directly onto the face of the firebox.

FLUSH FLOOR INSTALLATION

These instructions only apply to a fireplace being set directly

on a concrete floor. First, layout the size of the fireplace (as

per plan view FIG 5) on the floor, and draw a centerline.

Next, apply a layer of Perma-Bond tile set over the entire

firebox area using a ¼" x ¼" tile applicator.

Lay the firebricks starting at the center line and out to the

sides, using the supplied bricks that are cut to firebox. Follow

the same installation instructions as specified on page 6,

with the exception of the base installation. See FIG 5.
