Fireplace Installation Selecting location To determine safest and most efficient location for fireplace, you must take into consideration the following guidelines: 1. Location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 1 and 2). 2. Consider a location where fireplace will not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. 3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. 4.

Their purpose is to establish and maintain required clearance between chimney and combustible materials. When pipe passes through a framed opening into a living space above, firestop must be placed onto ceiling from below as shown in Figure 12. They also provide complete separation from one floor space to another or attic space as required by most codes.
