SELECTING LOCATION:
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your
fireplace, consider the following guidelines:
•
The location must allow for all proper clearances (see
page 3).
•
The location should be in a place where the fireplace will
not be affected by drafts such as air condition ducts,
windows or doors.
•
A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters
makes installation easier.
•
If an outside air kit is to be installed, accessibility to
outside combustion air must be considered. In some
cases, this can be achieved through a vented crawl space.
For more details, see section on outside air kit installation
on page 4.

If a gas line is to be installed, consider the location of gas
supply.
