C. Sidewalls/Surrounds
Adjacent combustible side walls must be located a minimum of 24 in. (610 mm) from the fireplace opening. See Figure 3.3. If you are using a decorative surround constructed of combustible material, it must be located within the shaded area de- fined in Figure 3.3. Short stub walls are also acceptable if they are contained within the shaded area.

D. Frame the Fireplace
Figure 3.4 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber) of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are used. All re- quired clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. See Figure 3.2. Any framing across the top of the fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs.
2 in. (51 mm) minimum air space clearance to the enclosure.
(724 mm)

8 in. (203 mm) extra space needed for outside air connection. If outside air duct has no bend, this dimension may be reduced as long as minimum clearances are met.
