LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efficient loca-
tion for your Vanguard direct-vent fireplace.
Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not
in the way of the venting system. Choose a
location where the heat output is not affected
by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or
doors. Figure 3 shows some common loca-
tions. Read all venting information in this
manual. Be aware of all restrictions and
precautions before deciding the exact loca-
tion for your fireplace.
When deciding the location of your fire-
place, follow these rules:
1. Do not connect this fireplace to a chim-
ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning fireplace or appliance.
2. Due to high temperatures, do not lo-
cate this fireplace in high traffic areas
or near furniture or draperies.
3. Proper clearances must be maintained.
4. If your fireplace is to be installed di-
rectly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any
combustible material other than wood,
it must be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and
depth of the fireplace. See Figure 4.

for corner installation. All minimum clear-
ances must be met. Do not install fireplace

bustible material other than wood. The fire-
place must set on a metal or wood panel
