INSTALLING "See-Through" DOORS
The installation of a second set of fire doors
for a “See-Through” Fireplace will follow
the same steps as previously detailed.
However, the finished height of the rear
doors will be about 1.5" (380mm) higher
than the front doors. (Refer to Fig. 16).
This dimension can be adjusted down a
little, but care must be taken so that the door
frame is sealed against the ceramic gasket
on all four sides of the firebox opening and
a reasonably smooth transition from the door
sill to Part #7ST results. (It is important that
air enters the firebox only from the slots in
the top of the door frame.)
In addition, the installer must ensure that
half of the 8” dia. combustion air supply is
fed to the second door, and that an identical
2”x15” air slot is created behind the facade,
under the door frame, on the rear side of the
fireplace. (Without this provision, the rear
doors will not have an air wash and will
become dirty.)
