Ash Dumps
Marshall Stamping ash dump doors are designed for masonry fireplaces where an opening is provided in the fireplace floor for removing ashes and debris. They can be specified for new fireplace construction or used to replace a broken or damaged ash dump door in an existing masonry fireplace.
Designed for a 4-1/2″ x 9″ opening, Marshall Stamping ash dump doors match the dimensions of a standard fire brick module. This standard opening size allows the doors to be incorporated into masonry fireplace construction using standard fire brick dimensions. For replacement applications, the existing opening should be measured and compared with Marshall Stamping product specifications before ordering.
Cast Iron Ash Dump Doors
The AD459 and AD459V are two ash dump door configurations offered by Marshall Stamping. Both models are cast iron and fit a 4-1/2″ x 9″ opening. The AD459 is an imperial cast iron ash dump, while the AD459V is a vented cast iron ash dump.
The two models provide options for masonry fireplace applications where a 4-1/2″ x 9″ ash dump opening is required. Cast iron construction provides a durable material for a fireplace component exposed to the conditions associated with fireplace use.

For replacement work, verify the existing opening dimensions and confirm whether an imperial or vented configuration is required before ordering.
