* Refer to figure 2
.Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the fireplace
opening, must not be closer than 3" to the faceplate.
The Tuscany must be installed in a masonry or factory-built solid fuel
fireplace with a hearth extending 16" from the fireplace facing.
Inspecting & cleaning the chimney
The chimney must be built in accordance with the Standards for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances,
NFPA-211 or applicable National, Provincial, state or local codes.
Inspect the chimney where the insert will be installed. ensure
that it is in good condition and has been properly constructed
according to your local code. Check the outside of the chimney
and masonry for damage including cracked, loose or damaged
bricks and mortar, or other materials that could inhibit the correct
installation of the flexible chimney liner. ensure that any damage
or deterioration has been properly repaired.
Remove any glazed creosote that has built-up inside the chimney.
The existing passageway must be cleared of any obstructions
that would prevent the flex liner installation.
The flex liner does not require any clearance between the flex
liner and the inner masonry wall. However it is recommended
that there be at least 1/2" clearance to fit the flex liner down the
chimney.
Note: The existing fireplace damper should be locked open.
If the opening is too small for two 3" liners, then the damper
should be removed.
The appliance has gas access holes on the right and left hand
side. The easiest point of instillation is on the left side of the
fireplace and is supplied with a flexible gas connector which
extends out either side of the insert a few inches (See figure
3). A 1/2" gas supply pipe must be brought near this connection
before installing the Tuscany insert.
