A:AnswerIf your wall has the horizontal 2x4s you mention (firebreaks) you will have to choose another location to run the wire or cut a hole in the fire break to run the cord and any cables. This will require removing some drywall to drill the hole then replacing it, mudding it, texturing it and painting. This is not a difficult task.
A:AnswerWe had 2 installed by Geek Squad a couple weeks ago. One interior and one exteror wall. They just said on exterior walls there may be firestopping material half way down the wall that makes install more tricky. Ours is older and didnt have the stopping. They just said if it is there it requires more holes in wall to get their way behind the firstopping. So yes, it can be installed on exterior. Just might be little harder.
A:AnswerBelow is a link to the installation guide. The cutout dimensions needed are 5.38" W x 7.13" H for the larger top cutout, and 2.25" W x 3.75" H for the smaller bottom cutout. Hope this helps!

A:AnswerMy previous answer had a typo in it...this unit is between 3 and 3 1/2 inches deep. I do not think it would work with a wall less than 2x4 construction.
A:AnswerNot likely. You would have to be able to find a hollow space behind the brick through which you could pull the cables. The fireplace is probably solid masonry.
