The following modifications of factory-built fireplaces are
permissible: 1) removal of damper; 2) removal of smoke
shelf or baffle; ) removal of ember catches; 4) removal
of fire grate; 5) removal of viewing screen/curtain; and, 6)
removal of doors.
NOTE: Installation into fireplaces without a permit will
void the listing.
The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL 127 and
meet the type HT requirements of UL 10. Factory-built
fireplace chimneys tested to UL 127-1998, may be at the
fireplace manufacturer’s option, tested to the same criteria
as UL 10 HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as
meeting HT requirements, or if the factory-built fireplace was
tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must
be installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney
top. The liner must meet type HT requirements (2100ºF)
per UL 1777.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar
and the chimney top. To prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the fireplace seal the damper area around
the chimney liner with high temperature sealant.
The fireplace must not be altered, except that the damper
may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter
pipe or chimney liner, and external trim pieces which do not
affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed provid-
ing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reas-
sembly if the insert is removed.
