Note for customers in Canada: Model RIS is not certified to the ULC S-629 Standard. Do not install an RIS system on a wood fireplace without first contacting your local authority for approval. ICC can provide complete engineering services (sizing, material selection, installation recommendations, drawings etc.) to assist you in obtaining approval. However, we can not guarantee that it will be accepted in all cases. If you have a large fireplace project you would like to quote on please be sure to contact us in advance so we can work with your local engineer, architect and building authority.
