We extend a warm welcome from all of us at
BURNTECH
,
proud manufacturers of
BURNTECH
Fireplaces. Thank you
for choosing
BURNTECH
.
You may have thought long and hard before you chose the
fireplace which would grace your home. Rest assured that
every component of the Fireplace has been tested to ensure
long-term durability.
Product Overview
BURNTECH
Fireplaces are designed as factory-built blocks
to be assembled on-site. These fireplaces may be installed
on either combustible or non-combustible floors. In order for
the fireplace to be installed on a combustible floor though, it
is necessary that the fireplace be supported on a platform or
sub-floor that is non-combustible.
The Four Components of the
BURNTECH
Fireplace:
Combustible or Non-Combustible Floor
Non-Combustible Raised Platform
BURNTECH
Firebox and Smoke Dome
UL103-16” class A listed chimney system required.
Important
: Follow the chimney pipe manufacturer’s
instructions on the installation of their specific flue system.
Careful step-by-step instructions for each phase of the
installation procedure will be given for the
BURNTECH
conventional radiant heat fireplaces. Those instructions
generally fall into the following categories:
Spacing and clearance as it relates to combustible
materials.
Familiarity of installation for all components.
The strength of the floor on which it rests.
Chimney system measurements.
Choice of materials and craftsmanship in fireplace and
hearth finishing.

Attention
: You may need a residential building permit to in-
stall a
BURNTECH
Fireplace. Consult local jurisdictions
before you get started!
If asked, advise the local authorities that the
BURNTECH
Fireplace is designed for installation per the National Fire
Pro-tection Association Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances (NFPA211).
When choosing the location of your
BURNTECH
Fireplace,
keep in mind you must maintain 2” (two inches) minimum
clearance from left, right and rear of Fireplace to surrounding
structure. Also, when choosing a location, consider outside
air requirements to determine if it will be on the left or right
side of the Fireplace. In the case of an island installation,
outside
air accessibility may be obtained through sub-
flooring. See
section on Installing Outside Air on page 17.
