SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your fire-
place, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for all the proper clearances (see Fig-
ure 2).
2. Consider a location where the heat output would not be af-
fected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will
make installation easier.
4. If an outside air kit is to be installed, accessibility to outside
combustion air must be considered. This can also be achieved
through a vented crawl space in some cases, for more details
refer to the section on outside air kit installation.
The typical installation for a (V)3612ST is a projected installation, which
allows you to extend the fireplace any distance into the room. A
projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
