FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
6.3.1
LOCATING THE CERTIFICATION LABEL
Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always overrides
the information published in any other media (owner
’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines
and/or web sites), it is important to refer to it to have a safe and compliant installation. In
addition, you will find information about your fireplace (model, serial number, etc.). You can find
the certification label beneath the fireplace, behind the bottom louver.
6.3.2
LOCATING THE EVEREST
A.
The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room. Figure some space in front of the unit for the
hearth extension and the mantel and taking into consideration the location of the heat
distribution systems (optional), fresh air intake 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
2.2:
General Features
. 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.
