LOCATION AND SpACE 
REqUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient loca

-

tion  for  your  Ironhaus  direct-vent  fireplace. 

Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not 
in the way of the venting system. Choose a 
location where the heat output is not affected 
by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or 
doors. Figure 2 shows some common loca-
tions. Be aware of all restrictions and precau-
tions  before  deciding  the  exact  location  for 

your fireplace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your fireplace, 

follow these rules:

•  Do not connect this fireplace venting to a 

chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel 
burning fireplace or appliance.

•  Due to high temperatures, do not locate this 

fireplace in high traffic areas, windy or drafty 

areas or near furniture or draperies.

•  Proper clearances must be maintained.
•  If your fireplace is to be installed directly on 

carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood, it must be installed on a 
metal or wood panel extending the full width 

and depth of the fireplace. See Figure 3,

•  Your  fireplace  is  designed  to  be  used  in 

zero clearance installations. Wall or framing 
material can be placed directly against any 
exterior surface on the back, sides or top of 

your fireplace, except where standoff spacers 

PRe-INSTALLATIoN PRePARATIoN

are  integrally  attached.  If  standoff  spacers 

are attached to your fireplace, these spacers 

can be placed directly against wall or framing 
material. See framing details on page 7.

•  If you plan on installing a television or enter

-

tainment center recessed above your fire

-

place, it is recommended that you maintain a 
minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

•  When locating termination cap, it is impor

-

tant  to  observe  the  minimum  clearances 
shown in Figure 7, page 8.

•  If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra 

framing by positioning your fireplace against 

an already existing framing member.

•  Do not recess termination cap into a wall 

or siding.

•  You  may  paint  the  termination  cap  with 

450º  F  (232º  C)  heat-resistant  paint  to 

coordinate with the exterior finish.

•  There  must  not  be 

any  obstruction  such 

as  bushes,  garden  sheds,  fences,  decks 
or utility buildings within 24" from the front 
of the termination cap.

•  Do not locate termination cap where exces

-

sive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure 
to clear vent termination area after snow falls 
to  prevent  accidental  blockage  of  venting 
system. When using snow blowers, do not 
direct snow towards vent termination area.

•  For  horizontal  installations  above  2,000 

feet, it is recommended that a 12" extension 
pipe be added before starter elbow and a 
round horizontal termination be used (see 

High Altitude Installation

, page 17).

fireplace are as follows:

*Back and sides 

0"/cm

Perpendicular walls

ness of 5/8" may be flush with the top front 
of fireplace.
* For back and sides of fireplace, do not pack 

with  insulation  or  other  materials.  0"  clear-
ance to combustible materials are for framing 
purpose only.
