Locating The FP30 Fireplace
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 FP30 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 chimney. Ideally, you
should choose a location where the chimney will pass through
the house without cutting floor or roof joists.
Check the adequacy of the floor by first estimating the weight of
the fireplace system(approx. 650lbs(295Kg)). Next measure the
area the fireplace will occupy. Note the floor construction and
consult your local building code to determine if any additional
support is needed. In most cases, no additional floor support is
needed for the FP30 fireplace.
The FP30 fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible-
floor or on a raised base. A minimum of 84" measured from the
base of the appliance to the ceiling is required.
The FP30 fireplace may not be installed in a factory built fireplace
unless tested with the fireplace. The fireplace is not tested.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the chimney
performance. Therefore the chimney outlet position is important
when locating the fireplace.
The fireplace must be bolted down using the holes in the legs.
The chimney should:
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
•
Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets, trees or any
other obstructions that may cause wind turbulence or back
drafts in the chimney.
•
The least amount of offsets (elbows) possible.(Max. 4)
