An installer must predetermine where a fireplace will be set and how the chimney system will be run. Mounting the Fireplace A fireplace may only be mounted on the following surfaces: 1.
Chimney Supports The chimney system is supported by the fireplace for vertical chimney heights less than 30 feet above the hearth. Chimney supports are required if the vertical height exceeds 30 feet with 11CF chimneys. Locate chimney supports at ceiling holes or other structural framing at 30 foot heights.
ODSHR Series 2. Framing Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace is set in place, however, most installers build the frame before setting the fireplace. Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials. Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1, 2 or 3 for basic fireplace specifications.
