B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE:
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
•
Before installing
, determine the following:
- Where the fireplace is to be installed.
- The vent system configuration to be used.
- Gas supply piping.
- Electrical wiring.
- Framing and finishing details.
Note: A raised hearth extension built flush
with the fireplace opening or less than 4
in. (102 mm) below the fireplace opening
requires the fireplace be installed on a non-
combustible surface.
- Whether optional accessories - devices such as a
fan, wall switch or remote control - are desired.
1. Selecting Fireplace Locations
This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement should be avoided.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat
outlets or returns, or other locations of considerable air
movement can affect the performance.
Consideration should be given to these factors before
deciding on a location.
