F. Factory-Built Fireplace
Installation
When installing the P35i Insert into a factory built wood
burning fireplace, several things need to be taken into
consideration.
The size of the fireplace opening. Will the unit fit into
the opening? Some of the factory built fireplaces have
metal smoke shields inside the top that can be removed
to gain height. Keep in mind that anything removed
from the factory built fireplace must be attached to the
fireplace with a metal wire. Floor protection guidelines,
as listed previously, must also be followed.
The manufactured fireplace may not be altered beyond
the exceptions listed below. Never remove masonry
bricks or mortar from an existing fireplace.
The following modifications are permissible:
• Removal of the damper or lock in open position
• Removal of smoke shelf or baffle
• Removal of andirons or ember catchers
• Removal of log grate
• Removal of view screen or curtain
• Removal of doors
• External trim pieces, that do not affect the operation
of the fireplace, may be removed providing they can
be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly
if the insert is removed.
• If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace
opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the
hearth must be supported.
• Final approval of this type of installation is contingent
upon the authority having jurisdiction.
Note: If the Harman® P35i Insert is installed into a factory built wood burning fireplace, this
label (Harman® part # 3-90-00675) MUST be attached to the altered fireplace.
The factory built chimney must be listed per UL 127 (US)
and meet type HT requirements of UL 103 (US). Factory
Built fireplace chimneys tested to UL 127-98 may be, at the
fireplace manufacturers option, tested to the same criteria
as UL 103HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as
meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was
tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be
installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top.
Liner must meet high temperature (2100 F) per UL1777 (US).
The liner must be securely attached to both the flue collar
and the chimney cap. To prevent room air passage to the
chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal the damper area around
the chimney liner with fiberglass batting.
Hearth must be constructed to
the proper height and finished
with a non-combustible
material.
IN CANADA: This fireplace insert
must be installed with a continuous
chimney liner of a minimum 3"
diameter extending from the insert to
the top of the chimney. The chimney
liner must conform to the Class 3
requirements of CAN/ULC-S635,
Standard for Lining Systems for
Existing Masonry or Factory Built
Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC-
S640, Standard for Lining Systems
for New Masonry Chimneys.
When using single-wall
venting or flex,this section
of venting must be wrapped
with a non-combustible
insulation to prevent excess
temperatures within the
fireplace and on the fuel
hopper.
