1. FIREPLACE LOCATIONS AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as
a room divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase. See Figure 1.
Figures 2 and 3 show two typical installations assuming an outside air kit is being used. Therefore, an
allowance must be made for 90° bends. Less space is required when ducting goes directly outside without form-
ing elbows.
* A minimum of 1/2" air clearance must be
maintained between the firebox and wall.
Installation along a wall or an
exterior chase.
DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF
GASOLINE ENGINES ARE HAZARDOUS.
DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN
FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER
HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE AIR.
THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY FOR SMOKING OR FLOW
REVERSAL.
TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE FIREPLACE
MUST NOT BE INSTALLED AGAINST VAPOR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULA-
TION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.
