I took out a POS fireplace box and replaced with a ZC FPX 36. The install was done by the same guy that worked at the LHS (but I didn't buy it thru them), because he did other install jobs on the side, so I'm comfortable knowing he did a good job.
I'm concerned about my clearances, which I think are “inside†the manufacture's specs, and now that I'm more knowledgeable thanks to this forum and been reading some threads, I'm wondering if everything is safe for now my 4th season of burning.
Here's the pic hearth.com/gall/v/WoodStoves/heartcomfireplace.jpg.html
Installation manual is here http://www.fireplacex.com/TravisDocs/93508090.pdf (pages 5-7) in case I missed anything.
Here's my specs:
Raised Hearth is 13â€
Hearth extends 16â€
Side Columns 8†(they one stick out 2â€)
Mantel 12†(extends 7â€)
Current facing and marble hearth was built on top of existing brick hearth that was just framed out a little more, then some cement board, and cement for holding it all in place.
Now, I dunno if it matters, but I'll check temps with my IR gun under mantel and on side columns and they're basically room temps plus a few, that's seems ok.
1. I never did any kind of permits, do I do anything at this point?
2. Do I need hearth carpet pad any option for me?
3. Do I need to look at mantle shields or ?
4. Do I need to notify insurance company?
5. Anything else?
Am I ok?
