Panorama Direct Vented Fireplace

Installation

Installing The Fireplace Shell

The fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains clear-
ances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, 
as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting 
the fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not interfere 
with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible 
pathway for Direct Vent installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:

Figure 1.  

Fireplace dimensions.

Framing

Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the 
fireplace opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in 
Figure 13b.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that 
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will 
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.

the appliance.
