FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
2.4.1 Locating the ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing
space in front of the unit for the heart extension and the mantel, and taking into
consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney. If
possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house
without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor
can be checked by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system. Weights are given in
the appendix. Next, measure the area occupied by the fireplace which is normally 36¾" ×
26". Note the floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if
additional support is needed.
C. The ENERZONE SOLUTION 2.5ZC may be installed directly on the floor or on a raised
base (for proper guidelines, refer to "Heart Extension Requirements") and a minimum of 7
feet (2.15 m) measured from the base of the appliance to the ceiling is required. The
hearth extension is to be installed only as illustrated in the drawing below.
