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.
do not obstruct the collar open-
ings around the base of the chim-
ney at the top of the fireplace.
do not insulate the chase cavity
with blown or fill type insulation
materials.

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.

warnInG
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. For
an example of this, see Figure 5 and confine
the final location of combustible 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.
