INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction:
Your TRUEHEAT' Zero Clearance Fireplace System has been designed and tested to provide a safe and energy-efficient
heat circulating fireplace when installed in accordance with these installation instructions. Incorrect installations, modifying
Trueheat' components, or using parts made by another manufacturer will void the Trueheat® Warranty and may cause a fire
hazard. Never use fireplace inserts or retrofit your Trueheat* fireplace with a wood stove and/or stove pipe.
Before you start your installation, consult your state and local building and fire safety codes for factory-built fireplaces.
Your local building inspector may not approve your installation if these codes are not followed. In addition, the National Building
Code requires that all fireplaces be installed in accordance with NFPA-211.The National Fire Protection Association publica
tion NFPA-211 requires that all Factory-Built fireplaces be installed in accordance with their installation instructions.
All Trueheat• fireplaces are UL Listed for use in single and multi-family dwellings. The models TH28MG, TH28MGF, TH36MG
and TH36MGF are also UL Listed for use in mobile homes. When installing those fireplaces in mobile homes, refer to the
section, "Additional Requirements For Mobile Home Installations."
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
The Fireplace:
The fireplace should be installed on a solid continuous surface.
Do not install your fireplace on a floor covered with carpeting, vinyl
or similar soft combustible material. However, the fireplace may be
installed directly on plywood, particle or other solid combustible
material.
The fireplace may be located practically anywhere in the room.
You should consider ceiling and roof rafters that may require cut
ting and plumbing and wiring that may have to be moved when
deciding where to locate the fireplace. The opening of the fireplace
must not be located closer than 24 inches to any perpendicular wall.
FIG. 1 shows some typical installations.
Combustible materials may be
installed at zero-clearance to the
top, side and rear spacers on the
fireplace as shown in FIG. 2. The
dimensions of the fireplaces are
shown in FIG. 3.
