Hearth Installation
A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible
floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 for
minimum dimensions and mounting detail.
NOTe: Hearth extension must not cover the air
inlet/outlet opening of a fireplace.
The hearth extension described in Figure 24 must be a
durable noncombustible material with a minimum (to-
tal) Rt value of 1.09; refer to Figure 25 for examples.
The overall height (above a combustible floor), depth
and width must be as indicated, with the extension
centered to the fireplace opening.
The top of insulation must be covered with a noncom-
bustible decorative covering or a piece of .018” mini-
mum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension material.
(Fig. 24)
Secure the hearth extension to the floor to prevent shift-
ing, using trim molding or other similar means at three
(3) outer edges. Seal crack between the fireplace hearth
and hearth extension with a noncombustible material.
(Figs. 22 and 26)
WARNINg: HeARTH eXTeNSION MUST be IN-
STALLeD IN ACCORDANCe WITH FIgURe 24 AND
MUST NOT COVeR THe bOTTOM FRONT OPeNINg
OF THe CIRCULATINg MODeL.
Alternate noncombustible materials may be used provid-
ing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the alter-
nate material employed is greater than or equal to R =
1.09. Thermal resistance (R) or thermal conductivity (K),
may be obtained from manufacturer of the material. Fac-
tors are related by the formula K = 1/R.
T = given thickness
R = thermal resistance for a given thickness (T)
K = thermal conductivity
Noncombustible material with a lower R value may
be used, provided thickness of material is sufficiently
greater to maintain an equivalent (total) thermal resis-
tance (Rt).
