B.  Design and Installation Considerations

Heat & Glo gas inserts are designed for installations into 
solid fuel masonry or factory built

 replaces that have 

been installed in accordance with the National, Provin-

constructed of non-combustible materials and, in the ab-
sence of local or regional codes, meet  criteria of NFPA 
211. No additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and na-
tional codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier, local
