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, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.

1. Selecting Fireplace Locations

This fireplace 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 fireplace 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 7100FP
comes equipped with an outside air inlet to feed combus-
tion air from outside the home, along with an outside air
termination cap; the rigid metal duct is required but not
supplied. Consideration should be given to these factors
before deciding on a location.
