Clearance Requirements

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

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.

NOTE: If an optional blower (Model FK-200) is to be installed, a 12 x 12 inch (305mm x 305mm) access hole must be framed into the wall (see Figure 3).

Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.
