Clydesdale 8491 Manual - Hearthstone Stoves

Hearthstone Clydesdale Fireplace Insert Model 8491
Installing the Insert
Step One: Remove the contents of the firebox. This
will include the owner’s manual packet, a box of
soapstone refractory bricks, the handle knob
assembly, and a pouch containing enamel touch-up
(if applicable).
Step Two: Remove the Clydesdale from the pallet
(see Photo 1).
Locate the three mounting clips attached to the
leveling bolts (two in the front and one in the back)
that secure the insert to the shipping pallet.
1. Using a 1/2” wrench, remove the rear lag
screw and mounting clip.
2. Check the front clips – if there is sufficient
clearance above the lag screws to clear the
facade, remove them.
3. Otherwise, if the lag screw is close to and
under the façade (see photo 1), carefully
loosen the front clip lag screws about one
turn. Take care to not damage the finish on
the façade.
4. Slide the insert backwards about one inch to
disengage the front clips.
5. Once all the clips are disengaged, turn the
rear leveling bolt upward (tighten) to ease
insert installation into the fireplace.
The Insert ships with the Façade and ash lip cover
installed. You should not need to remove these in a
typical installation.
through the knob. Turn the bolt onto the latch handle
and tighten with a hex wrench. Handle is shown
installed correctly in photo 2.

Step Four: Measure the opening of the fireplace.
When measuring the fireplace cavity, you will need to
determine the following:
1. Will the flue collar be installed in the forward
or aft position The depth of the firebox will
determine the location of the flue collar.
NOTE: the collar is installed at the factory in
the aft position to accommodate the most
common type of install that requires use of
an elbow or flex connector for attachment to
the chimney liner. To change the collar to
the forward position for a shallow fireplace,
follow the instructions in step five. Proceed
to the next step if the aft position is correct
for your installation.

Step Three: Install the wooden knob onto the latch
handle. The knob, bolt, and washer are located in a
plastic bag removed from the firebox in step one.
Place the washer onto the bolt and then push the bolt
