This fireplace does not weigh more than large pieces of furniture and can normally be located near a
load bearing wall without requiring additional foundations or supports. If however, the fireplace is to
be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure
is adequate.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 provide dimensional details of the fireplace, required spacing to combustible walls,
and some suggested fireplace locations. When selecting a location, choose one that is away from
frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other places where air movements may
disturb the airflow around the fireplace. Air turbulence near the fireplace may cause smoke to spill out
of the fireplace opening.
