9 STEPS T O INST ALL A SMART FIREPLA CE STEP 1 - FOOTINGS AND FOUNDA TIONS A Country Flame manufactured fireplace furnace is designed for installation in a masonry fireplace hull in accordance with the Uniform Bu ilding Code. Only qualified installation personnel should install the fireplace furnace unit.
FIGURE 2: SINGLE OPENING FIREPLACE SYSTEMS FIGURE 2a shows a fireplace installatio n where the fl oor joists are located below the hearth ( raised hearth system.) FIGURE 2b shows a fi replace instal lation where the floor joists are located at the same level as the hearth.
STEP 2 – CONCRETE P AD & HEAR TH EXTENSIONS Determine whether the fireplace is to b e installed on an outside wall or an inside wall. The clearances for an inside wall installation differ from an outside wall installation. The ty pe of wall installation will impact the size of th e concrete pad and hear th extension to be poured.
Refer to FIGURE 2 for the depth requirements of a hearth extension. Hearth extension requirements vary according to where the floor joists meet the hearth and what local code requires. FIGURE 4: INSIDE WALL PAD INSTALLATION NOTES: 1. If installing a fireplace furnace on an inside wall, refer to FIGURE 4.
STEP 3 – FIREPLACE POSITION ON THE CONCRETE P AD In order to accomplish Step 3, it is assumed th at all combustible forms have been removed from the fireplace foundation, the ash pit, the combustion air void (if designed in for fireplace,) the concrete pad, and the hearth extension.
8. A minimum of 24” sidewall clearance must be maintained between combustibles and the inside firewall of the firebox. 9. Maintain a 4” clearance from the masonry ch imney to combustibles below the roofline.
12. Install the HT Adapter as shown in FIGURE 6. This optional square to round adaptor can be obtained from your Country Flame Dealer or direct from Country Flame. The 4” wide pieces of angle iron are not require d across the interior masonry walls when using factory-built insulated chimney materials.
MASONRY CHIMNEY CONSTRU CTION – Refer to FIGURE 7 and TABLE 4 for the procedures and materials required to constr uct a masonry chim ney . Masonry chimney construction also requires a qualified and k nowledg eable chimney ma son that understands masonry construction, local codes, and local site conditions.
FIGURE 7A: MASONRY CHIMNEY INSTALLATION The two longest pieces of angle iron are to be set on top of the block sup port walls as shown in FIGURE 7A. The two shortest angle irons pieces are to span between the two long angle iron pieces as shown in FIGURE 7A.

1. Attach one blower mount to the Smart Fireplace on the right side as shown in FIGURE 8A. Repeat the process for installing the blower mount and fan on the left side. NOTE: Ensure an electrician wires and prope rly grounds the Smart Fireplace blowers.
FIGURE 9A: HEAT DISCHARGE BOOT FIGURE 9B: ADJUSTABLE HEAT DIS CHARGE BOOT (OPTIONAL) FIGURE 9A shows the proper assembly of the stan dard heat discharge boot. FIGURE 9B shows the optional adjustable heat discharge boot that is required in the event anything but 4” wide brick is used to complete the masonry work.
STEP 7 – COMPLETION OF MASONR Y BRICK FRONT The fireplace furnace front can be finished in many different ways to enhance the appearance of your heating system. Ensure that all clearances have be en met and that all insulation provided b y Country Flame has been installed correctly.
STEP 8 – FLUE DAMPER CONTROL INST ALLA TION Country Flame’s rotary controlled flue damper should be assembled as shown in FIGURE 10 after the fireplace is completely installed. The flue damper is extremely important to energy savings, reducing heat loss, and controlling a fire.
INSTALLING DAMPER DO OR - The rotary controlled damper of your Country Flame Fireplace should be assembled as shown in FIGURE 10 after the fireplace is completely installed. At this time the adjustable da mper rod sleeve (C) will be em bed ded in the masonry veneer and cannot turn.

The blower system includes all necessary parts, except some additional wire, required fo r a local certified electrician to install the blowers, speed controls, and the thermo stat.
Included with this blower system as: a) Two multi-speed blowers rated at 120 volts, 60Hz, 6.5 amperes, and 525 CFM each. b) Two ducts for mounting blowers to fireplace. c) Two blower grille covers with rheostat fan speed controls pre-mounted. d) 10 wire nuts.
clear of sharp objects. Further, ensure that the power cables or motor leads are not kinked. Never allow the power cables or motor leads to come in contact wit h oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
Chapter 2 DUCTING OPTIONS Properly ducting the Smart Fireplace Furnace will pr ovide years of comfor t because properly ducted fireplaces will allow for a more uniform distribution of heat throughout the home. Many ducting options are possible with the Smart Firepl ace Furnace.
Holes in brick masonry should be a half-inch larger d iameter hole than the duct pipe to be utilized. This will allow an area for expansio n of the duct pipe as it heats up.
