B-VENT FREESTANDING FIREPLACE
105500
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efficient loca-
tion for your Vanguard B-vent freestanding
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 2 shows some
common locations. Read all venting infor-
mation in this manual. Be aware of all restric-
tions and precautions before deciding the
exact location 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,
see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 5.
4. This stove is a freestanding unit de-
signed to set directly on the floor. If
your fireplace is to be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combus-
tible 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 5, page 5.
