Installation

Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or factory-
built, zero-clearance wood burning fi replace.  The masonry 
fi replace must be built according to the requirements of the 
Standard of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning 
appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, 
Provincial, State or local codes.  The installation shall conform 
to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning 
Appliances and Equipment.  The factory-built, zero-clearance 
fi replace and its chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC 
S610 standards.
Warning:  Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed 
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SER-
VICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Fireplace Specifi cations

Your fi replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 

 

24 1/2"  (622 mm)

WIDTH (at rear)  

24" 

(610 mm)

HEIGHT   21" 

(533 

mm)

DEPTH 

  18 

1/4" 

(464 

mm)

Chimney height 15' (minimum)

A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back 
wall of the fi replace, if the fi replace has been modifi ed to 
accommodate the insert.

Into a Masonry Fireplace

Inspect your fi replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physi-
cal defects.  If repairs are required, they should be completed 
before installing your insert.  
The fi replace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.  
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions, especially 
if it has not been in use for some time - have chimney swept.
The existing fi replace damper is to be locked open or removed 
completely.

WARNING:  Do not remove bricks or mortar from your 
existing fi replace.

Exception:  Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may 
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame 
if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that 
their removal will not weaken the structure of the fi replace and 
chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materi-
als to less than that required by the National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or 
national building codes.  The two methods of fl ue connection 
that are acceptable in most areas are:

Full Flue Liner: (Fig.2) where a stainless steel rigid or fl exible 
liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A. only):  where a throat 
blocker plate and a short connector pipe is used.
Note: 

A clean-out door may be required under local codes, 

when a positive fl ue connection is used.  Consult local codes.

Pacifi c Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner 
as the safest installation and providing  optimum perfor-
mance.  When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to 
draft correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult 
start-ups and smoking out the door. 

For difficult installations, this insert is approved for use 
with a SPND.3OFFSETA - 3” fl ue offset box. Only this 
offset box is approved for use with this insert. The use 
of any other offset box may cause a hazard and/ or void 
any warranty.
