SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR
YOUR INSTALLATION
This insulated metal fireplace insert enclosure en-
ables the RAIS Insert 60 Fireplace Insert to be in-
stalled in minimum–clearance situations in locations
without an existing masonry fireplace. This could be
in new home construction or in homes that are being
remodeled.
Centrally located installations generally provide and
circulate the heat most effectively. An interior chim-
ney is preferred as it will stay warmer and provide a
more consistent draft than an exterior chimney. How-
ever, many installation options are possible. If an
exterior chimney is necessary for your installation, it is
recommended that exterior chimney be enclosed in a
chase to minimize heat loss.
The Insert 60 Fireplace Insert Enclosure may be ele-
vated off the floor to allow the Insert 60 to be placed
higher up on the wall. This will require construction of
a base structure to support the enclosure and insert.
The base structure should meet the same structural
requirements as any other floor construction meeting
building code requirements in your area since it is
supporting and transferring the appreciable weight of
the enclosure and Insert 60 to the floor below it. The
surface of the base structure should be covered with
a minimum of one layer of ¾ plywood. The distance
