CR Series Woodburning Fireplaces Planning Information Preplanning an installation is very important to ensure safety and to save time and money. An installer must predetermine where a fireplace will be set and how the chimney system will be run. Mounting the Fireplace A fireplace may only be mounted on the following surfaces: 1. A flat combustible surface. 2. A raised wooden platform. 3. A concrete block or other solid object placed beneath each of the four (4) corners of the fireplace.
CR Series Woodburning Fireplaces Angled chimney runs require a support every 6’ (1.8m) in addition to the elbow straps. Chimney supports are used for this function. (Fig. 6) Chase Installation A chase is a vertical box-like structure which encloses the fireplace and/or chimney. Chases are typically built on the outside of the house with fireplace opening cut into the outer wall of a room. (Page 4, Fig.
CR Series Woodburning Fireplaces ance requirements for side and parallel combustible walls as noted in Figure 20, Page 15. Framing Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace is set in place, however, most installers build the frame before setting the fireplace.

Headers and support studs must be turned on end as illustrated in Figure 2, Page 4.
