4. Fireplace & Chimney Location
Location of the fireplace will affect performance.
• Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope as this will help to produce draft.
• Installing the fireplace in a basement is not recommended.
• Endeavor to penetrate the roof at its highest point as this will minimize wind loading.
• Locate the Chimney Termination Cap away from trees, adjacent walls or buildings, other structures,
uneven roof lines or obstructions.
• Minimize the use of offsets (elbows).
• Take into consideration the attic joists when selecting a space for the fireplace.
• Avoid installing the fireplace near doors or walkways.
• Take into consideration the chimney termination requirements in the chimney section of this manual.
