CHIMNEY OFFSET 30° THROUGH FLOOR
OR CEILING
It may be necessary to assemble the chimney
at 30° when passing through the floor or ceiling
area. Use 30° angled firestop spacer, Model
10FS30-2, as shown in
Figures 44 and 45
.
Support the chimney at floor or ceiling penetra-
tion with a stabilizer if distance of chimney
below ceiling is 10' (3 m) or more. Maintain 2"
(51 mm) minimum air space to combustibles
from chimney sections.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Glass Doors
If glass doors are to be installed on this system,
refer to specific installation instructions packed
with the glass doors. Superior glass doors
Models 45BF-ABR, 45BF-SPB, 45BF-BR and
Sonata 45 are for use only with Superior’s
TM-4500 and TMC-4500 factory-built fireplaces.
Use of other non-listed glass door on these
fireplaces may constitute a potential fire hazard
and are not recommended.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH THE
DOORS WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE THE FIRE-
PLACE IS IN USE. ALWAYS USE DOOR
HANDLES. DOORS WILL BECOME VERY HOT
WHEN FIREPLACE IS IN USE.
WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH
DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY
WITH THE DOORS FULLY OPEN OR FULLY
CLOSED.
Figure 46
CAUTION: CERTAIN GLASS DOORS OVERLAP
THE BLACK METAL FACING OF THE FIRE-
PLACE. IF THE FIREPLACE HAS BEEN FACED
WITH NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, THERE
MIGHT NOT BE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE TO
INSTALL THE GLASS DOORS OF YOUR
CHOICE. ENSURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE IS
MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES SO AS NOT TO
INTERFERE WITH THE INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION OF GLASS DOORS.
Combustion Air Kits
Use combustion air kit, Model CAK-4 or Model
CAK-4LD, with the TM and TMC Series fire-
places. Refer to installation instructions packed
with the air kit for specific installation informa-
tion. The outside air kit must be installed before
the fireplace is framed and enclosed in the
finished walls.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. Only one combus-
tion air duct on the left side of the fireplace is
necessary if installed.
Figure 47
If additional length of duct is necessary, pur-
chase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1
metallic duct. The duct may extend up to 50'
(15.24 m) in any direction.
Note: When installing the air duct vertically,
DO NOT terminate the duct closer than 3'
(914mm) below the chimney top.
There is a one-hand operated shut-off valve
located in the left side of the fireplace opening
behind the screen. To open, pull out all the way.
The combustion air damper should be fully
open when the fireplace is in use and fully
closed when the fireplace is not in operation to
prevent outside air from entering your home.
CAUTION: NEVER LOCATE INLET WHERE IT
CAN BE BLOCKED BY SHRUBS, SNOW DRIFTS,
ETC. NEVER LOCATE INLET IN GARAGE OR
ANY AREA WHERE THERE IS ANOTHER FUEL-
BURNING APPLIANCE OR PRODUCTS EMIT-
TING COMBUSTIBLE GASES SUCH AS PAINT,
GASOLINE, ETC. IN COLD CLIMATES IT IS
RECOMMENDED THE COMBUSTION AIR DUCT
BE INSULATED.
Outside combustion air ducting may be run
upwards or vertically through framing and ceil-
ing joists, with the hood installed through an
outside wall and 3' (914 mm) below the termi-
nation. Ducting may also be run downward
through floor joists and under the home to a
ventilated crawlspace not considered part of
the living area of the home.
Note: Do not terminate combustion air kit in
attic space under any circumstances.
A take-off boot adapter, Model TOB, may be
used in conjunction with the air kit to reduce the
framing dimensions when installing the fire-
place diagonally in a corner (
Figure 48
). Refer
to installation instructions packed with the TOB
for specific installation information.
