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 4 inches (102mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 23 (584mm) inches (546mm) into combustible construction.

Minimum Clearances

from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials

Minimum Clearances

	Inches	mm
Vertical Sections	1	25
Horizontal Sections
Top	3	75
Bottom	1	25
Sides	1	25
At Wall Firestops
Top	3	76
Bottom	1	25
Sides	1	25

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination clearance diagrams on pages 20 and 21 in this manual.

The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that secure the unit together.

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.
