FOCUS 320 SBR Owner's Manual

RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
Each gravity vent kit includes 5’ of insulated flexible ducting, a fireplace adapter, an outlet grill adapter, and a
decorative outlet grill.
Additional 5’ lenghts of insulated flexible ducting can be ordered with the part code FO-DUCT5. Nevertheless,
gravity vents have a maximum length of 15’.
Heating Options
For increased air circulation and marginally more heat output, you can add the Circulating Internal Blower (FO-
FDHB5-N) to your Louvered fireplace or the Inline Fan (FO-CIF) to your Clean Face fireplace.
NOTE
: The FOCUS 320 SBR is equipped with a floor shield to protect the floor under the fireplace. This floor
shield is made of two parts: the front part is insulated; the back part is a single layered sheet metal. Both parts are
screwed together and factory installed to cover the entire floor below the firebox. It must never be removed. Only
when installing the Internal Blower Option can the floor shield be modified. Follow the internal blower installation
instructions but before reinstalling the floor shield, remove the screw, slide the back part over the front part and
screw them back together. If you ever remove the internal blower make sure to extend the shield again.
To maximize the distribution of the heat generated by your fireplace throughout many rooms and different floors,
consider the Central Heat Option

. The Central Heat Control (FO-FDHC6) will enable automatic control of the
Central Heat Blower via a wall thermostat and thermal switch. The Zone Heat Control (FO-FDHCZ1) along with
Zone Damper Kits (FO-FDHCZ2) will provide the same features as the Central Heat Control but for more than one
heating zone. If you wish to install the Central Heat Blower on a Clean Face fireplace, you will need the Central
Heat T (FO-T) that will enable you to connect the central heat duct along with the left gravity vent on the fireplace.
For a simple way to circulate a moderate amount of warm air from the fireplace to another room, we offer the Heat
Dump Kit (FO-HD). It includes a 180 cfm blower and is most often used to provide supplemental heating to a
basement room when the fireplace is on the main floor, but it can also be used to send the warm air to an adjacent
room or upstairs. The duct maximum length is 8' for the FO-HD.
General Options
To simplify the installation of thin non-combustible materials such as ceramic tile or sliced brick, we have designed
a rock retainer kit. It is not designed or required for full brick or stone. With a Louvered fireplace, you can choose to
leave all the black metal completely exposed or completely covered with non-combustible material. Whether you
have chosen a Louvered or Clean Face fireplace, the FO-KN kit will help you finish the facing of the fireplace as
you wish. Thin materials can also be installed directly on the face of the fireplace using high temperature silicone
as glue, without a rock retainer kit.
Decorative andirons (FO-A) are also an optional feature. The decorative andirons are made of cast iron and are
more aesthetically appealing than the basic ones included with the fireplace. The decorative andirons are also
taller, which reduces the chance of logs rolling forward.
NOTE
: Many options require wiring and/or electricity for their installation. If there is any chance that any of these
options will be installed in the future then suitable wiring should be run during framing. Otherwise, it will be difficult
to install these options later. You can refer to page 25 for a list of options that require electricity.
Detailed installation instructions are included in the box with each option. These can also be obtained from our
Internet Web Site: www.icc-rsf.com.
