the clay tile of a masonry chimney.
6.3 Fireplace Installation
6.3.1 Locating the SOLUTION 2.5-ZC
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing
space in front of the unit for the heart extension and the mantel, and taking into
consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney. If
possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house
without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The adequacy of the
floor can be checked by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system. Weight is
given in
Section 2.1: Solution 2.5-ZC Specifications
. Next, measure the area
occupied by the fireplace, note the floor construction and consult your local building
code to determine if additional support is needed.
6.3.1.1 Raised base installation of more than 4" (R value for the hearth extension
not required)
The SOLUTION 2.5-ZC may be installed directly on the floor or on a raised combustible or
non combustible base. If the fireplace is elevated more than 4" (
B
), an R value for the
hearth extension is not required. However, the upper and lower angle, for the full width of
the floor protection, must be protected 2" horizontally and vertically (
E
) by a non-
combustible material. For example, a sheet metal (not included). Apart from these two
corners, the sheet metal does not have to cover the rest of the wall between the base of
the fireplace and the floor.
Note that the non-combustible hearth extension floor area must extend at least 18" (41
cm) in front of the hearth as shown in
Section 6.3.2: Minimum Heart Extension
Requirements
