FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efficient location for the fireplace, 

you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1.  The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 4 and 

5).

2.  Consider a location where fireplace will not be affected by drafts, 

air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.

3.  A location that avoids cutting of joists or roof rafters will make 

installation easier.

4.  An outside air kit is available with this fireplace (see Optional 

Outside Air Kit on page 9).

* Not required at nailing flanges

** See step 2 of Framing

 WARNING: Do not pack required air spaces with 

insulation or other materials.

Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height for Residential Installation

Minimum height of chimney, measured from base of fireplace to flue 

gas outlet of termination, is 16 feet for straight flue or a flue with one 

elbow set. Maximum distance between elbows is 6 feet. For systems 

with two elbow sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum height of 

any system is 50 feet. This measurement includes fireplace, chimney 

sections and height of termination assembly at level of the flue gas 

outlet (see Figure 15, page 12).

FRAMING

1.  Frame opening for fireplace using dimensions shown in Figures 4 

and 5.

2.  If fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile or any 

combustible material other than wood flooring, fireplace must 

be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending full width and 

depth of fireplace.

3.  Set fireplace directly in front of this opening and slide unit back 

until nailing flanges touch side framing.

4.  Check level of the fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.
5.  Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, ember protector 

(provided) must be placed between hearth extension (not sup-

plied) and under bottom front edge of fireplace to protect against 

glowing embers falling through. If fireplace is to be installed on a 

raised platform, a Z-type ember protector (not supplied) must be 

fabricated to fit your required platform height. Ember protector 

should extend under fireplace a minimum of 1 

1

/

2

". Ember protector 

should be made of galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge minimum to 

prevent corrosion.

6.  Using screws or nails, secure fireplace to framing through flanges 

located on sides of fireplace.

Note:

 For outdoor installations, fireplace enclosure must allow for 

adequate drainage and fresh air ventilation. It is recommended that 

a sealed, corrosion resistant catch pan  with provision for drainage 

be installed under fireplace within fireplace enclosure.
