INSTALLATION
To determine the safest and most efficient
location for your fireplace, consider the fol
-
lowing guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances (see Figure 1).
• Flush installation is recommended where
living space is limited.
• Projected installation may be ideal for
a new addition to an existing finished
wall.
• Corner installation makes use of a space
that may not normally be used and pro-
vides a wider and more efficient range
for radiant heat transfer.
2. Consider a location where the fireplace
would not be affected by drafts, air con-
ditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists
or roof rafters makes ventilation installa-
tion easier.
