Minimum Framing Clearances

FIGURE 4

Combustible materials may be installed ﬂ ush with the front of the ﬁ replace but must not cover any of the black face-areas of the ﬁ replace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this ﬁ replace system.

When roughing in the ﬁ replace, raise the ﬁ replace to accom- modate for the thickness of the ﬁ nished ﬂ oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative ﬂ ashing accessories.

Objects placed in front of the ﬁreplace should be kept a minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.

NAILING TAB INSTALLATION

FIGURE 5

To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the framework to ac- commodate the thickness of the ﬁ nished wall. Bend out the four nailing tabs, attached on either side of the ﬁ replace and secure to the 2x4 framing. The tabs will facilitate the installation of either a 3/4” or a 1” ﬁnished wall thickness. The nailing tabs must not be removed.

FIGURE 7

Combustion protrusions such as mantels and shelves may occur

at or after a minimum distance of 2”

away from the side of the ﬁreplace. Thereafter, the depth of any protrusions must be of equal to or less than the distance from the side of the ﬁreplace up to a depth of 6”, after which no greater clearance than 6” is required. This can be considered a side wall with no length boundary.

It is best to frame your ﬁreplace after it is positioned. Use 2x4’s and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 5-7.

Minimum clearance to combustible con- struction from fireplace:

sides, back, bottom and top of the unit	0”
recessed depth	13 1/2”

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

MINIMUM MANTEL AND ENCLOSURE

CLEARANCES

Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.

FIGURE 9a-c

The ﬁ replace requires a minimum enclosure height of 39”. For temperature requirements, the enclosure space around and above the ﬁ replace must be left unobstructed.

CVF36N, CVF36P specifications

The Continental CVF36P and CVF36N are innovative air-cooled engines known for their reliability, performance, and versatility, making them popular choices in various aviation applications. These models are designed to deliver enhanced power, efficiency, and durability, meeting the demands of both recreational and commercial pilots.

One of the standout features of the CVF36P and CVF36N is their robust power output. These engines are designed to produce approximately 36 horsepower, enabling aircraft to achieve impressive climb rates and cruise speeds. The engines incorporate advanced engineering principles that ensure optimal performance, contributing to a smooth and responsive flying experience.

In terms of technology, the CVF36 series utilizes a four-cylinder, horizontally opposed configuration. This design not only helps in reducing vibration but also contributes to a lower center of gravity, enhancing aircraft stability during flight. The engines are equipped with a dual ignition system, ensuring reliability and redundancy that are critical in aviation. This dual ignition setup helps in maintaining engine operation even if one of the spark plugs fails, thereby enhancing safety.

The CVF36P variant is recognized for its premium performance in various operating conditions. It features a precision-engineered crankshaft and an efficient cooling system that prevents overheating. As a result, this engine is suitable for a wide range of applications, from light sport aircraft to experimental models.

On the other hand, the CVF36N variant focuses on delivering superior fuel efficiency. It is designed with advanced aerodynamics and engine management systems that optimize fuel consumption without compromising power output. This characteristic makes the CVF36N particularly appealing to budget-conscious pilots looking for long-range flying capabilities.

Both engines come with a range of customizable options, allowing builders and aircraft manufacturers to tailor them according to specific needs. This flexibility, combined with a strong support network and comprehensive service options, ensures that owners can maintain peak performance throughout the life of the engine.

Overall, the Continental CVF36P and CVF36N engines represent a significant advancement in aviation technology, offering a blend of power, efficiency, and reliability. As pilots continue to seek engines that meet stringent performance and safety standards, these models stand out as exemplary choices in the growing market of light aircraft engines.
