T4800 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. Framing the Fireplace
The T4800 fireplace will fit a framed opening of 567/8” wide x 493/8” tall. The finished cavity depth must be no less than 305/8”.
Figure 5 shows a typical framing (using 2 x 4 lumber) of the fireplace, assuming combustible materials are used. All required clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. Any framing across the top of the fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs. Chimney sections at any level require a 2” minimum air space clearance between the framing and chimney section.
CLEARANCES!
A minimum 1½” air clearance must be maintained at the back and sides of the fireplace assembly except at the nailing flange where the clearance is ½”.
Chimney sections at any level require a 2” minimum air space clearance between the framing and chimney section.

WARNING!
Do not apply combustible finishing materials over any part of the black face of this fireplace or a structure fire may result. The black metal fireplace front may only be covered with noncombustible materials such as ceramic tile, brick, or stone. Do not cover or block any cooling air slots. Do not cover any portion of the opening to the fireplace that would prevent the installation of an authorized glass door.
3. Sidewalls/Surrounds
Adjacent combustible side walls must be located a minimum of 24” from the fireplace opening. See Figure 6. If you are using a decorative surround constructed of combustible material, it must be located within the shaded area defined in Figure 6. Short stub walls are also acceptable if they are contained within the shaded area.
