DIRECT-VENT FIREPLACE (NATURAL/PROPANE/LP)

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION

CLEARANCES

Minimum clearances to combustibles for the fireplace are as follows:

Must maintain a minimum 1" clearance to combustibles

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient loca- tion for your Vanguard direct-vent fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure 3 shows some common loca- tions. Read all venting information in this manual. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact loca- tion for your fireplace.

When deciding the location of your fire- place, follow these rules:

1.Do not connect this fireplace to a chim- ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

2.Due to high temperatures, do not lo- cate this fireplace in high traffic areas or near furniture or draperies.

3.Proper clearances must be maintained.

4.If your fireplace is to be installed di- rectly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace. See Figure 4.

FRAMING AND FINISHING

Figures 5 and 6 show typical framing of this fireplace. Figure 7 on page 5 shows framing for corner installation. All minimum clear- ances must be met. Do not install fireplace directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any com- bustible material other than wood. The fire- place must set on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

See Accessories on page 33 for mantel kits available for this fireplace. If you are using a separate combustible mantel piece, refer to Figure 8 on page 5 for proper installation height. You can install noncombustible mantels at any height above the fireplace.
