1.3.3 Transportation Packaging
To facilitate the moving of the FP11 fireplace before installation, we have designed a
transportation packaging that allows reducing the weight. The fireplace refractory panels are
thus in a box you can carry separately. We suggest you install the refractory panels after the
setting up of the fireplace. To install the refractory panels, see Section 1.3.8,
Refractory

1.3.4 Locating the FP11 Frontenac Wood Fireplace
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the 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 outside air kit and chimney. If possible, you should
choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting floor or
roof rafters. Also choose a location that allows installing the least amount of offsets in the
chimney.
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. Weights are given in
the section 1.2.1, FP11 Frontenac Wood Fireplace Specifications. Next, measure the area
occupied by the fireplace which is normally 59 3/4" x 30 1/2" (152 cm x 78 cm). Note the
floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional support
is needed.
