Step 1. Locating the Fireplace

The diagram below shows space and clearance require- ments for locating a fireplace within a room.

Clearance Requirements

The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending past the face of the fireplace is 25 mm (1 in.). The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed into combustible construction.

Minimum Clearances

from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials

	mm	inches
Glass Sides or Ends	914	36
Floor	0	0
Rear Flue	13	1/2
Metal Sides or Ends	13	1/2
Top	64	2 1/2
Ceiling*	787	31

*The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figures 37 & 38).

The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the com- bustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that se- cure the unit together.

Minimum Clearances

from the Flue Pipe to Combustible Materials

	mm	Inches
Vertical Sections	25	1
Horizontal Sections
Top	75	3
Bottom	25	1
Sides	25	1
At Wall Firestops
Top	63.7	2 1/2
Bottom	13	1/2
Sides	25	1

For minimum clearances, see the direct flue termination clearance diagrams on pages 30 and 31 in this manual.

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo- date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia- gram below shows framing reference dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.

!WARNING: FRAMING DIMENSIONS ASSUME USE OF 1/2 INCH THICK WALL COVERING

MATERIALS ON EXTERIOR OF FRAMING ONLY AND NO SHEETROCK ON INTERIOR OF FRAMING.
