B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.

1. Selecting Fireplace Locations

This fi replace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the fi replace in a basement, near frequently
opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other
locations of considerable air movement can affect the
performance.
Outside air must be used for combustion. The C40 comes
equipped with an outside air inlet to feed combustion air
from outside the home, along with an outside air termina-
tion cap; the rigid metal duct is required but not supplied.
Consideration should be given to these factors before
deciding on a location.
