L1 1600K

Material Speciﬁcations

Non-Combustible

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials

are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile,

concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination

thereof.

Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,

Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a

Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C shall be considered

non-combustible materials.

Combustible

Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed

paper, plant ﬁbers, plastics, or other material that

can ignite and burn, whether ﬂame proofed or not,

or plastered or unplastered shall be considered

combustible materials.

Non-Combustible Cement Board

The L1 See Thru Linear ﬁreplace requires a 1/2” (13mm)

thick non-combustible cement board to be used as

a wall surface immediately surrounding the unit’s

opening—see diagram for minimum coverage.

Extending the cement board well beyond the minimum

shown will help avoid cracking due to diﬀerential

expansion of materials.

Pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and do

not over-tighten screws to avoid cracking due to heat

expansion.

Standard gypsum wall board may be used beyond the

perimeter of the cement board.

Non-Combustible Finishing Over Cement

Board

Additional non-combustible material such as tile, etc.,

may be applied over top of the cement board or you

may choose to leave it ﬁnished clean with no tile, etc.

Be aware that a trim is always required. Finish should

not cover the trims.

1575 and 1550 Trims

Only the 1575 and 1550 style trims will accept tile, etc.

tucked behind them (up to 5/8” thick for the 1575 and

up to 1 inch thick for the 1550).

1530 Trim

1530 trim must be installed BEFORE cement board.

Cement board and ﬁnishes are applied to the perimeter

of the trim frame. Cement board and ﬁnished CANNOT

be tucked under this trim.

Wall Finish — Avoid Cracking

Avoiding Cracking Wall Finishes

We recommend installing the optional HeatShift

System to reduce the wall temperatures and minimize

the possibility of cracking wall ﬁnishes.

If a clean ﬁnish with no tile, etc. is desired, joints in the

cement board and the transition to gypsum board

will require special attention if future cracking is to be

controlled. Be aware that temperatures on the non-

combustible wall surface above the appliance can

exceed 200°F (93°C).

Below are some tips on how to best avoid any cracking:

• Allow materials to dry thoroughly before ﬁnishing the

wall. Cement board has the ability to absorb up to 30

percent of its weight in water and may shrink as much

as 1/8” over a 48” length when drying from a satu-

rated condition. Running the ﬁreplace for an extended

period before ﬁnal ﬁnishing will help drive out mois-

ture.

WARNING

HeatShift System MUST be installed on

this appliance when using 1530CIK—Clean

Installation Kit.

• Always pre-drill screw holes through cement board

and use screws speciﬁc for material used.

• Always use mesh tape over joints.

• Always stagger joints in wall board.

• Behind joints, double up studs or use studs “on the

ﬂat” to add extra support to the joint. Adhesive on

the backside of wall board behind any joints can help

control diﬀerential movement.

• Use multiple, thinner coats of joint compound and al-

low to dry thoroughly between coats.

• Ensure framing materials are dry.

• After ﬁnishing the wall, introduce heat gradually to

slowly dry any excess moisture rather than drying too

fast.

• Avoid notching cement board or tiles around corners

of window opening and instead provide a joint that

intersects the corner.

• Avoid using lage one-piece slab of material with a

cut-out in the middle as a surround for the ﬁreplace.

Expansion above the opening will cause cracking at in-

side corners. Provide a joint that intersects the inside

corner to avoid cracking.
