SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance,
you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances,
page 7).
2. Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by
drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make
installation easier. Figure 2 shows a plan view of a few common
locations.
Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or
at a premium, and since the space required to enclose the appliance
would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the
cutting of joists, roof rafters, and such. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected installations can extend any distance into the room. A pro-
jection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner installations make use of space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat
transference.
Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room separa-
tion and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.
