Encore ® Multi-Fuel Heater• The fireplace damper must be sealed to preventroom air from escaping up the flue. However, it mustbe possible to reopen the damper to inspect or cleanthe chimney.Through the FireplaceIf your fireplace opening height is at least 26¹⁄₂"(675mm), you may install an Encore Multi-Fuel throughthe opening using a “positive connection” kit, availablefrom your local dealer. These positive connection kitsensure a tight fit between the stove flue collar and thechimney flue. (Fig. 8)Fireplace installations, whether connected to the flueabove or through the fireplace opening, have specialclearance requirements to adjacent trim and the mantel.Floor protection requirements also apply to fireplaceinstallations. Refer to “Floor Protection” section.Always adhere to local building codes when installing awall pass-through. Figure 9 shows one recommendedmethod.All combustible material in the wall must be removedaround the single-wall connector to provide clearancethat is three times the pipe diameter. Any material usedto enclose the opening must be noncombustible.Figure 9 shows another method of passing a connectorthrough a wall. All combustible material in the wall is cutaway to provide the required clearance that is 3x theconnector diameter. The resulting space must remainempty. A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be usedon one side only. If covers must be used on both sides,each cover must be mounted on noncombustible spacersat least 25 mm (1”) clear of the wall.DO NOT CONNECT AN ENCORE MULTI-FUEL TOANY AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.Flexible ConnectorTMantel ShieldFireplace AdapterKit “Positive Connection”ST494Fig. 9 A hollow wall pass-through method.ST245Wall Pass-Throughsfireplaceflex connectorWhenever possible, design your installation so the connectordoes not pass through a combustible wall. If you12/99are considering a wall pass-through in your installation,check with your building inspector before you begin.Also, check with the chimney connector manufacturerfor any specific requirements. Some manufacturersmake chimney components that may be used as wallpass-throughs. If using one of these, make sure it hasbeen tested and listed for use as a wall pass-through.ST245Fig. 8 In this installation, the chimney connector enters thefirepalce opening and then connects to the chimney.HearthsST494steelThis appliance must be wall installed pass thru on to hearth thatmeets the requirements 11/00 of Part J of the Building Regulations2000 (Combustion Appliances and Fuel StorageSystems). This can be achieved by ensuring that thehearth is constructed and sized in accordance with theguidelines included in section 2 of approved document‘J’. The size and clearances of the hearth are as follows:The constructed hearth should be constructed in accordancewith the recommendations in document J,and should be of minimum width 840 mm and minimumdepth 840 mm (if a free standing hearth b) above) ora minimum projection of 150 mm from the jamb (if arecessed hearth a) above).Unless the stove hearth is completely noncombustible,the bottom heat shield should be installed to provideradiant protection for framing which may be below thehearth.
