LOCATING THE FIREPLACE HEATER
Plan where to locate and frame the fireplace heater. This will
save time and money later when you install the fireplace. Before
installation consider the following:
1. Where the firebox is located must allow for wall and ceiling
clearances (see Installation Clearances).
2. Consider a location where the appliance screen will not be
exposed to direct sunlight from windows or doors.
3. A 15 ampere, 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit with proper
ground must be available at the location. Preferably a
dedicated branch circuit should be provided to avoid circuit
breakers to trip or fuses to blow.
Flush installations
are recommended where living space is
limited or at a premium. Since the space required to enclose the
appliance would be located beyond an outside wall, this
installation would require additional planning and construction.
Check local codes for any restrictions.
Projected installations
can extend any distance into the
room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an
existing, finished wall.
Corner installations
make use of space that may not normally
be used and provides wider and more efficient heat distribution.
Internal wall installations
provide a discreet option for room
separation and can also be an ideal addition to an existing wall.
