Position The Unit; Position The Fireplace - kozy heat 55801 Duluth Installation & Operating Manual

POSITION THE FIREPLACE

1. Determine the exact position of your fireplace and location where the chimney will exit to the outside. If
possible place the fireplace in such a manner that the piping will be placed between two studs so additional
framing is not necessary. Refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B on pages #2 & #3.
NOTE: A hearth or platform is not required. If a hearth is desired, wood is the only combustible material that
may be used. Non-combustible materials are acceptable.
When the unit is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood
flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit.
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS:
Frame an opening for the chimney termination.
Refer to the vent
instructions for specific height (H) and width (W)
framing dimension.
The top of this opening must allow a minimum 1
½" clearance from the top of the chimney system
pipe. To achieve the minimum venting
requirements, a minimum of 57" from the floor
or platform the fireplace is setting on to the top
of the pipe is required. See Figure 8.
*IMPORTANT: This minimum measurement
is determined by the vertical height
horizontal length of your venting application
desired. Refer to pages #3-#7 of this
installation manual for requirements and
restrictions.
NOTE: Due to high temperatures, this unit
should be located out of traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies.
2. Ensure the proper clearances are followed as outlined on pages #2 & #3.
3. Complete chimney installation by following the installation instructions included with the chimney
system.
Refer also to pages #3 & #6 of this manual for typical horizontal termination diagram.
