b) Roof outlet requirement:

c) Chimney requirement:

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER

APPLIANCE!

Giga and Neofocus requiements: the floor to top of chimney length must be 22'

minimum (25' for an installation less than 3 miles from the ocean or if a 30°

elbow is necessary). Elbows should not be more inclined than 30° (USA) or 45°

(Canada) from vertical, and with maximum number of 2. Maximum inside +

outside height (without use of a fan) : 30 feet.

These fireplaces must be connected to a chimney complying with the

requirements for Type HT chimneys in the standard for Chimneys, Factory-built,

Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103 / ULC S629. For

example, a class A insulated stainless steel flue chimney system with a

12"minimum inside diameter.

Page 6 of 28

d) Structural requirement:

CAUTION: THE SUPPORT OF THIS UNIT (FLOOR) MUST BE SIZED IN

CONGRUENCE WITH THE FIREPLACE STATIC AND DYNAMIC CHARGES

(WEIGHT). THE SIZE CALCULATION FOR THE SUPPORT IS NOT THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF FOCUS OR ITS AFFILIATES. IT IS YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT FOR

YOUR PROJECT.

e) Connectors:

Connectors are all non-insulated chimney parts, including the chimney

manufacturer single wall slip adaptor and eventually the flue liner. To avoid heat

traps the chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet

or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling.

Passage through an attic, roof frame floor, or ceiling must be done using an

insulated chimney respecting all chimney manufacturer clearances. For Canada

the installation should conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

CAUTION: PASSAGE THROUGH A WALL OR PARTITION OF

COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE

INSTALLATION FOR THIS FOCUS FIREPLACE.

Refractory compound must be used to seal each connection. Connectors

should always be in good condition and kept clean. Minimum thickness : 1/32"

(1 mm). Please refer to installation details in this manual.

f) Fresh air intake:

To balance room air pressure with outdoors air pressure, we recommends a

fresh air intake in the room (ideally emerging under of the pedestal). Fresh air

intake shall only take combustion air from outdoors and not terminate in attic

spaces. We recommend Ø6ʼʼ deflect-O ID0625 UL listed 181 class 1 insulated

air duct. Minimum fresh air intake size:

Page 7 of 28

Important: this fresh air intake is compulsory when operating venting appliances

such as kitchen hoods, permanent air extractors or any appliances creating an

air depression in the habitation. Fresh air intake must remain unrestricted while

appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation, which can cause smoke

spillage and an inability to maintain a fire. A lack of air intake may alarm smoke

detectors. Duct maximum lenght : 30 feet.

Guidance on how to seal at the penetration of the building envelope :

Installation of the combustion air inlet system will require a 6” diameter

penetration through the wall and then insert the passive air vent with pipe

extension through this opening. Take note that proper caulking is to be used

between the vent and exterior wall to insure no air leaks in or out of building

envelope. For in depth detail refer to your local building code having jurisdiction.

For vertical external façade building termination, we recommend Deflect-O fresh

air intake galvanized hood and pipe with screen ref. GFAI6 (see image

hereunder and technical specs at the end of this manual).

Page 8 of 28

g) Clearances to combustibles:

CLEARANCES MAY ONLY BE REDUCED BY MEANS APPROVED BY THE

REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

MINIMUM FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT: 8 feet.

FIREPLACE MUST BE INSERTED IN AN INSULATED CHAMBER. A

COMPULSORY MINIMUM OF 4" AIRSPACE MUST SURROUND THE

FIREBOX INSIDE THE CHAMBER. PROPERTY DAMAGE OR DEATH CAN

OCCUR IF THIS CLEARANCE IS NOT MAINTAINED.

THE INSIDE OF THE CHAMBER MUST BE LINED WITH MINIMUM 2"

ROXUL INSULATION OR EQUIVALENT (insert Ref : RHF 80 RFF, see

Roxul specifications in the appendix at the end of this manual).

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION: BUILD A CHAMBER USING METAL

STUDS, 2" ROXUL INSULATION COMBINED WITH 1/2" CEMENT BOARD

PANELS.

ABSOLUTLY NO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL IS ALLOWED INSIDE THE

INSULATED CHAMBER.

DRYWALL PRODUCTS LINED WITH PAPER SUCH AS SHEETROCK ARE

COMBUSTIBLE. THESE MATERIAL ARE NOT PERMITTED FOR

CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAMBER.

See page 9 for details on floor protection required

underneath the unit.

Page 9 of 28

Important - manufacturer specifications:

-To avoid premature aging of your painted walls, only use mineral or acrylic

paints. With other paints, above clearances apply.

-Fire clearance from window glass or combustible frame (vinyl for eg.) :

refer to window technical specifications.

• Clearance to floor:

FLOOR BENEATH THE UNIT AND INSIDE THE CHAMBER IS

REQUIRED TO BE LINED WITH MINIMUM 1.5" MILLBOARD PANELS with

R factor = 3.2 OR GREATER SUCH AS 2" ROXUL INSULATION (for use of

alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness, see

appendix at the end of this manual). TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS

TO AVOID BOARDS FROM CRUSHING UNDER WEIGHT OF FIREPLACE.

SUBFLOOR CAN BE MADE OF PLYWOOD. NON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS

SUCH AS CONCRETE ARE MOST RECOMMENDED.

• Ventilation grids : 4 x 200 square inches side grids:

Page 10 of 28

CAUTION:

NEVER INSTALL THIS FIREPLACE WITHOUT VENTILATING THE

CHAMBER.

TOTAL UPPER AND LOWER VENTILATION GRIDS ARE REQUIRED.

DO NOT USE A FIREPLACE INSERT OR OTHER PRODUCTS NOT

SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE.

FALSE CEILING SEPARATION MUST BE LOCATED AT LEAST 1ʼBELOW

CEILING.

In case of combustible ceiling:

A 12"minimum airspace is required between the finished room ceiling and a 2"

roxul internal false ceiling insulation panel. Roxul insulation must be tight up

against the pipe. Refer to hereunder detail drawing:

DAMAGES CAUSED FROM NON-OBSERVANCE OF THIS CAUTION IS NOT

COVERED UNDER FOCUS LIMITED WARRANTY.
