ODYSSEY SERIES FIREPLACE WITH GAS LOG SET
D. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. Fireplace Locations and Space Requirements
Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room
divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or use an exterior chase. The room must have a minimum volume of 3,750
cubic feet. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
Fireplace Locations
Figures 2 and 3 show two typical installations assuming an outside air kit is being used. Therefore, an allowance must be
made for 90° bends. Less space is required when ducting goes directly outside without forming elbows.

Installation Along a Wall or an Exterior Chase
WARNING!
Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous.
Do not install outside air ducts such that the air may be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the roofing
where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will reduce the possi-
bility for smoking or flow reversal.

CLEARANCES!
A minimum ¾ air clearance must be maintained at the back and sides of the fireplace assembly except at the nailing
flange where the clearance is ½.
Chimney sections at any level require a 2” minimum air space clearance between the framing and chimney section.
