FRAMING

The has been designed to be installed mid-way up an outside wall. When installing this unit close to the finished floor, the unit must be raised a minimum of 2” (unobstructed) to allow for full rotation of the control door. It is not necessary to install a hearth extension.

Although the unit fits between studs, most jurisdictions will not allow a “hole” in the warm air envelope of a residential structure. It is recommended to build either an interior or exterior chase with a minimum depth of 7”.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4’s and frame to local building codes.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
