Install the fireplace only according to the methods described herein and ensure proper clearance is
provided to combustible. Use only the parts and chimneys specified in this manual. Any non-compliance with
these directions could create a hazardous situation, thus voiding the certification and the warranty.
ATTENTION: Do not modify or adapt the fireplace’s construction or components. This would void the
warranty. In this event, Valcourt would not be responsible for any damages which may
occur.
Choose the best location for your fireplace, based on the position of the doors and windows and room air
flow. Provide for the positioning of hot air ducts (optional), an outside air inlet as well as the chimney.
Remember to leave sufficient space for the hearth extension and mantel. If possible, install the fireplace where
it will not be necessary to cut any floor or ceiling joists. (Figure #2)
The fireplace must be installed against a finished wall. Do not install the fireplace against a moisture
barrier or insulation (insulating wool). Do not insert insulation into the enclosure around the chimney.
There are several possibilities for the chimney’s configuration. See Figure #3 to determine the
appropriate configuration for your home. The straighter the chimney, the easier it will be to clean and maintain.
For optimal performance, install the chimney indoors if possible. In areas where temperatures are constantly
below freezing (32°F/0°C), installing the chimney outdoors promotes functional problems such as low draft,
excessive creosoting, and problems starting the fire. In addition, outdoor chimneys are subject to decreases in
pressure and smoke flow reversal. Fireplaces with outdoor chimneys installed on lower floors (basements) are
particularly prone to smoke flow reversal. (Figure #3)
