LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are
also important.
due to high temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies
(
Figure 3
)
.
En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil
devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a
peu de circulation et loin du mobilier et des
tentures
(
Figure 3
)
.
The location should also be free of electrical,
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning
ducting.
These direct-vent appliances are uniquely
suited for installations requiring a utility shelf
positioned directly above the fireplace. Util-
ity shelves like these are commonly used for
locating television sets and decorative plants.
Be aware that this is a heat producing
appliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.
do not insulate the space between the ap-
pliance and the area above it
(
see
Figure 8
)
.
The minimum height from the base of the appli-
ance to the underside of combustible materials
used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion
is shown in
Figure 8
.
The appliance must be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width
and depth of the unit. The appliance may be
located on or near conventional construction
materials. However, if installed on combustible
materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring,
the appliance shall be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and depth
of the appliance.
COLd CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other openings
should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent conduction of cold transferring to
the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum
air tightness and caulk firestops.
