INSTALLATION
Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building
department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) regarding restrictions and
installation requirements, and the need to obtain a permit.
WARNING: IF THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE CAN
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AND CLEARANCES. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH
INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

OCATION
The RUMFORD 1500 must be installed within the vapor barrier of the home. It cannot be
installed outside, or on a three season porch.
Your RUMFORD 1500 fireplace may be installed in different ways (see Figure 3).
Specifications of the fireplace along with clearances are shown in Figure 1, Figure 2,
Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. We recommend that you take the time to plan your entire
installation (fireplace and chimney) before beginning the actual installation (refer to
Figure 4).
Note the location of roof and floor joists. Choose a location that does not require 1.
cutting them if possible.
Do not build shelves or cupboards in the area above the fireplace. This space must 2.
be kept empty.
We recommend the chimney be installed in the interior of the building as it will 3.
provide better performance than an exterior chimney. In areas with continuous
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) the use of an exterior chimney may result in
operating problems such as poor draft and excessive condensation of combustion
products. If you do install an exterior chimney we recommend that you install it
within an insulated enclosure (see Installation: Chase Enclosure).

LEARANCE
The ceiling clearance varies depending if the fireplace is installed on a non-combustible
floor or on a combustible floor.
On a non-combustible floor with a non-combustible floor structure, the ceiling clearance
is the distance from the base of the fireplace to the ceiling.
On a combustible floor or on a combustible floor structure, you need to install the
fireplace on the fireplace bottom standoff thus the ceiling clearance is the distance from
the base of the fireplace bottom standoff to the ceiling.
For ceiling clearance requirements refer to Table 1 (C).
