IREPLACE OCATION CAUTION: Do not install fireplace over carpeting. This fireplace does not weigh more than large pieces of furniture and can normally be located near a load bearing wall without requiring additional foundations or supports. If however, the fireplace is to be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure is adequate.
Page 8: Installation Preparation
NSTALLATION REPARATION Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc., that might complicate the installation or endanger persons installing or cleaning the chimney. Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 8.
