EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace

NOTE

• It is necessary to use sealing strips of non-combustible

materials between the ﬁ replace hearth and factory-built

hearth extension.

• The use of a sand-cement grout between the hearth

and an on-site constructed hearth extension is also

necessary.

D. Frame the Fireplace

Figure 26.1 shows typical framing using combustible materials (2x4 lumber shown).

• Framing across the top of ﬁ replace must be above top standoffs.

• See page 33 for detailed information regarding sub-ﬂ oor material requirements.

** Adjust header height for a raised platform under

height allowed for loading fuel into the hopper.

Header MUST NOT

be notched!

D = extra space needed

for securing fireplace to the floor

and for outside air connection if

it is installed on side of fireplace

See Section 8 for outside air locations.

Outside Air is REQUIRED for all installations.

C. Sealing at the Penetration of Building

Envelope

The ﬁ rst step for successfully creating an air barrier system is to seal all of the holes in the building envelope. Too

often, builders concentrate on air leakage through windows, doors, and walls, and ignore areas of much greater

importance. A key source of leakage—called a bypass—is hidden from view behind chases for ﬂ ues and ductwork. It

is important to make sure these areas are sealed to prevent leakage. A common way to seal areas behind chases for

ﬂ ues and ductwork is to attach and caulk a piece of plywood or foam sheathing material that covers the entire opening.

Seal penetrations. If a ﬂ ue requires a noncombustible clearance, use a noncombustible metal collar, sealed in place to

span the gap.

Sealing these bypasses is critical to reducing air leakage in a home and maintaining the performance of insulation materials.
