Chimney Enclosure
Construct a box-like framed structure to enclose
the fireplace and chimney within the confines
of the manufactured home, not necessarily
above the roof line.
As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead
obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc.
The chimney/fireplace enclosure should be
constructed and insulated just like any outside
wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base
of the chimney/fireplace enclosure should also
be insulated between the solid continuous floor
beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom.
Insulation in a cold climate installation is not
required for safety.
Note: Local codes may not require firestopping
at the ceiling levels for outside chimney enclo-
sure installations. However, it is recommended
for safety and the reduction of heat loss.

ings around the base of the chim-

fill type insulation materials.

Check the operation of the damper. The damper
is controlled through the use of a control lever

LOCaTION OF FIREPLaCE

Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.

This fireplace and chimney
system is not approved for use
in a bedroom or any room used
for sleeping.
Carefully consider the position of the fireplace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust fans
and/or return air registers for forced air furnaces/air
conditioners that could cause a smoking fireplace
condition if the house is tightly insulated.
When locating the fireplace, consideration must
be given to combustibles and final finishing. See
Figure 5 and confine the final location of com-
bustible finish materials to the "Safe Zone".
DO NOT permanently place furniture or other
items such as decorative pillows within 60" of
the fireplace front face.
