C. Facing Material

Facing and/or finishing materials must not interfere with air flow through louvers, operation of louvers or doors, or access for service.

Facing and/or finishing materials must never overhang into the glass opening.

Observe all clearances when applying combustible materials.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified in this manual. Overlapping materials could ignite and will interfere with proper operation of doors and louvers.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install drywall or other combustible materials over the factory-installednon-com- bustible board. Overlapping materials could ignite.

Decorative facing material thickness is measured from the face of the factory-installed non-combustible board. See Figure 13.11 and Figure 13.13.
