by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,)
are strongly recommended.
Locating The FP16 Fireplace
The best location to install your fi replace is determined by
considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic
fl ow in the room where the FP16 Fireplace is located,
allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension
and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location
of the chimney. Ideally, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the house without
cutting fl oor or roof joists.
Check the adequacy of the fl oor by fi rst estimating the
weight of the fi replace system(approx. 500lbs(227Kg)).
Next measure the area the fi replace will occupy. Note the
fl oor construction and consult your local building code to
determine if any additional support is needed. In most
cases, no additional fl oor support is needed for the FP16
fi replace.
The FP16 fi replace may be installed directly on a
combustible fl oor or on a raised base. A minimum of
72"(1.83m) measured from the base of the appliance to the
ceiling is required.
The FP16 fi replace may not be installed in a factory built
fi replace unless tested with the fi replace.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the
chimney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet
position is important when locating the fi replace
We recommend, whenever possible, that the chimney
should:
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
•
Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets,
trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind
turbulence or back drafts in the chimney.
•
Contain the least number of offsets (elbows) possible.

Clearances to combustible surfaces and materials are shown
on pages 11 & 16.
Clearances may be reduced with various heat insulating
materials. Consult local, National fi re codes and authorities
for approval.
