WARNING: HEARTH EXTENSION MUST BE IN-
STALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FIGURES 24 AND
25.
Alternate noncombustible materials may be used
providing the (total) thermal resistance (Rt value) of the
alternate 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.
Factors 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).

Hearth Installation

A hearth extension is required to protect a combustible
floor in front of the fireplace. Refer to Figure 24 for mini-
mum dimensions and mounting detail.
Note: Hearth Extension must not cover the air inlet
opening of a fireplace.
The hearth extension described in Figure 24 must be a
durable noncombustible material with a minimum (total)
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 the insulation material must be covered with
a noncombustible decorative covering or a piece of
.018” minimum sheet metal, to protect hearth extension
material. (Fig. 24)
Secure the hearth extension to the floor to prevent
shifting, 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. 24 and 26)
