KOZI Pellet Insert Additional Considerations
The KOZI Pellet Insert can be installed in either a masonry or listed factory built
fireplace or an alcove. The minimum opening for
masonry or listed factory built fireplace
is pictured below. Please see the “Clearance to Combustibles” section for information on
installing an insert in an alcove.

7.1 KOZI Pellet Insert Additional Requirements
When installing and removing a KOZI pellet insert in a masonry or listed factory built
fireplace, the following requirements must be met:
1. The room in which the insert is installed must be sealed from the exterior.
This can be done by sealing the chimney cavity to the venting either at
the terminal (see figure 12A) or at the chimney damper (see figure 12B).
2. When installing the insert and its surround into a masonry or listed
factory built fireplace, the air flow of the existing fireplace must not be
altered. Make sure no louvers, cooling air or outlet ports are blocked.
3. When installing an insert, a full height listed chimney liner must be
attached to both the insert flue collar and to the chimney top as shown in
figure 12A or a partial chimney liner may be attached to the insert flue
collar and extending a minimum of 6 inches into the chimney cavity as
shown in figure 12B. The chimney liner must be properly sealed to the
seal plate using high temperature (RTV) silicone. This chimney liner
must be stainless steel.
4. A permanent metal tag must be attached to the back of the fireplace. The
metal tag will state the following “After removal of this pellet insert, the
fireplace must be restored to its original state for safe use”.
5. The fireplace can NOT be altered in any way except for the following
situations:
A. For installation of a chimney liner, the chimney damper may be
removed.
B. External trim pieces of a fireplace can be removed only if they do
not affect the operation of the fireplace upon removal and they can
be reassembled when the insert is removed.
