• Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
• Actual installation/appearance may vary due to individual
design preference.
• Hearth & Home Technologies reserves the right to alter
its products.
NOTICE: In addition to these framing dimensions, also
reference the following section:
• Clearances (Section 3).
NOTICE:
A minimum 1-1/2 in. air clearance at the back and
a minimum 1-1/2 in. air clearance to the sides of
thereplaceassemblymustbemaintained.
Chimney sections at any level require
a 2 in. minimum air space clearance
between the framing and chimney sec-
tions.
B. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
o󰀩cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
• Before installing, determine the following:
- Where the replace is to be installed.
- The vent system conguration to be used.
- Gas supply piping.
- Electrical wiring.
- Framing and nishing details.
- Whether optional accessories - devices such as a
fan, wall switch or remote control - are desired.
1. Selecting Fireplace Locations
This replace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the replace in a basement should be avoided.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat
outlets or returns, or other locations of considerable air
movement can a󰀨ect the performance.

2. Locating Fireplace & Chimney
Location of the replace and chimney will a󰀨ect perfor-
mance.
• Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
• Installing the replace in a basement is not recommended.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the e󰀨ects of wind loading.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
• Minimize the use of chimney o󰀨sets.
• Consider the replace location relative to oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
• Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Sections 4 and 5.
Marginal Location:
• Below peak
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Multi-level Roofs
Windward
Leeward
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
Recommended:
• Insulated exterior chase
in cooler climates
Recommended Location:
• Above peak
• Inside heated space
Location NOT recommended:
• Too close to tree
• Below adjacent structure
• Lower roof line
• Avoid outside wall
Marginal Location:
• Wind loading possible
Not recommended in basement due
to high negative pressure concerns
that effect draft
Figure 2.3 Recommended Chimney Locations
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the replace.
• Avoid installing the replace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design.
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed.
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed.
