MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION

The Model 81 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important consid- erations when installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof and at least 2' above any point of roof within 10'.
