BCC Models are complete modular fireplaces designed for new construction. They may be installed with close clearances to combustibles and incorporate a firebox and smoke chamber all within a sheet metal enclosure. They are normally coupled to an insulated chimney system incorporating a damper. High-temperature insulation keeps all outer surfaces at safe temperatures. To complete an installation, a hearthstone projecting 18" in front of the unit must be installed, as well as non-combustible surround trim on three sides of the opening. This trim must include small returns at each side of the unit to cover the steel enclosure, which would otherwise be exposed to view. The firebox hearth section of refractory material also must be covered unless the unit is recessed below floor level. Models range from the BCC 19, giving a clear opening of 24" x 21", to the BCC 36, giving a clear opening of 40" x 34" for the tall model.
