A guide for home designers and installers:
To help prevent performance problems of this fireplace,
such as spillage of combustion products into the living
space, conditions should be avoided that cause negative
pressure in the surrounding area. The fireplace should not
be located in areas that can have negative drafts. These
can include small rooms with frequently swinging doors,
or the presence of large furnace intake return air registers
located close to the fireplace.
If you plan to install a gas log, the gas line should be
installed before framing the fireplace. The gas line must
be installed by a certified gas line installer.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood-
burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
