This fireplace does not require any special foundation. If the fireplace is to be trimmed
with large stone or brick facing, an adequate foundation is required to support these
materials. Refer to Figures 1-5 as guides for selecting a location and determining the
space required for the fireplace.
The location for the fireplace should be adjacent to a load-bearing wall and away
from objects that will create drafts that could disturb the normal flow of air into the fire.
Such objects are frequently opened doors and central heat air outlets and returns.
Refer to Figure 2 which illustrates various types of locations and installation and Figure 3 for additional
information concerning installation heights, construction details and methods of installation.
A location that requires cutting the least number of joists and rafters for the chimney installation will
simplify and reduce installation costs.
Proper selection of a chimney outlet location is also important. Objects such as overhanging or nearby
trees, adjacent building or embankments or unusual roof designs can all create air turbulence and in-
terfere with chimney performance and cause the fireplace to spill smoke into the room.
Since the pitch of the roof influences the opening size required at the roof level, Table 1 should be used
as a guide for sizing the roof opening.
