c) Chimney requirement:

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER

APPLIANCE!

Paxfocus requirement: the floor to top of chimney must be 16 feet minimum (5

m) or 19 feet (5,8 m) 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° from

vertical, and with maximum number of 2. Maximum inside + outside height

(without use of a fan) : 30 feet.

Paxfocus can 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. For example, a class A insulated

stainless steel flue chimney system with an 8-inch minimum inside diameter.

d) Structural requirement:

CAUTION: THE SUPPORTS OF THIS UNIT (THE WALL) 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 focus black flue, focus

8"universal adaptor and the chimney manufacturer single wall slip connector.

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.

CAUTION: PASSAGE THROUGH A WALL OR PARTITION OF

COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE

INSTALLATION FOR THIS FOCUS FIRE.

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, focus recommends a

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

intake shall only take combustion air from outdoors. We recommend deflect-O

A0684 semi rigid aluminium duct. Minimum fresh air intake size:

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. A lack of air intake may alarm smoke detectors.

g) Clearances to combustibles:

• Clearances to floor and ceiling:

MINIMUM FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT: 8ʻ6ʻʻ.

Page 7 of 18

• Clearances to back wall:

FIREPLACE CAN BE AFFIXED DIRECTLY AGAINST THE WALL.

BACK WALL MUST BE INSULATED FROM FLOOR TO CEILING WITH ½"

CEMENT BOARD AND 1" ROCK WOOL. SUPPORTING STUDS MUST

ALSO BE NON-COMBUSTIBLE.

BACK WALL PROTECTION REQUIRES TO EXTEND 24" TO EITHER SIDE

OF THE CENTERLINE OF THE UNIT.

• Clearances to side walls:

CAUTION: THE DISTANCE TO A COMBUSTIBLE SIDE WALL MUST BE

MAINTAINED AT 29" FROM THE SIDE PANEL OF THE FIREPLACE.

PROPERTY DAMAGE OR DEATH CAN OCCUR IF THIS DISTANCE IS NOT

MAINTAINED. DRYWALL PRODUCTS LINED WITH PAPER SUCH AS

SHEETROCK ARE COMBUSTIBLE. CLEARANCES AS INDICATED

FURTHER APPLY.

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 (eg. Vinyl): refer
