MODULAR LINEAR FIREPLACE SYSTEM, ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS

摘要

A linear fireplace system, assemblies, modular units, and related methods that can be installed in a modular fashion at a selected installation location so as to avoid drawbacks experienced in the prior art. The system can include modular linear units, corner units, and/or end units interconnectable to form a modular linear fireplace assembly. The system can include an alignment track system with a track member that receives alignment rails on the bottom of the modular units to axially align the interconnected units. The system can include a combustion air flow passage within the fireplace that maintains a relatively low exterior temperature of the assembly and that allows combustible and non-combustible building materials to be installed against or immediately adjacent to the top and base portions of the modular units of the assembly.

主权项

1. A modular linear fireplace system, comprising:
a plurality of linear fireplace units each having opposing first attachment end portions with configurations common to the linear fireplace units wherein the linear fireplace units are interchangeable, each fireplace unit having a base portion and a top portion spaced apart from the base portion to define a firebox therebetween in which combustion of a fuel gas occurs during use, the base portion having a gas line and a burner assembly operatively connected to the gas line, the burner assembly being positioned adjacent to a bottom portion of the firebox, the firebox having open lateral end portions adjacent to the first attachment end portions; wherein each linear fireplace unit is interchangeably securable to a second one of the linear fireplace units at one of the first attachment end portions to form joined linear fireplace units and to provide a continuous elongate firebox area through the joined linear fireplace units; and a plurality of end units each having second attachment end portions with common configurations that mate with the first attachment end portions of any one of the linear fireplace units, each end unit being interchangeably connectable to a selected one of the linear fireplace units to close one of the open lateral end portions of the firebox of the any one of the linear fireplace units.
