FRAMING

BGD36CF(G)

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION FROM FIREPLACE AND VENT SURFACES:

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace sys- tem. Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.

Non-Combustible framing: Top

Combustible framing:

Sides, back, and bottom of the unit Top

Non-combustible fi nishing: Top

0" to stand-offs if using optional clean face surround

0" to stand-offs

3 1/2" to stand-offs if using optional clean face surround

6 1/2" if using optional clean face surround

When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fireplace to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapor barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fi replace enclosure be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/ sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within

Combustible fi replace fi nishing:
Sides, bottom and top	0" to fi replace edge
Enclosure top	8 1/4" to top of fi replace
Recessed depth	17 1/4"
Sides and bottom of the vent pipe	1"
Top of vent pipe	2"
Ceiling	72" from bottom of unit

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides of the vent and 2" at the top on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop spacer W010-1774 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required except for clearances in

fireplace enclosures*. See "MINIMUM ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES" section. Use fi restop spacer W500-0096 (not supplied).

* Vertical vent sections in fi replace enclosures require a minimum of 1 1/2" all around the vent pipe.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION FROM

FIREPLACE AND VENT SURFACES:
Combustible framing:
Top, sides, back and bottom of the unit	0" to stand-offs
Non-combustible fi nishing:
Top	6 1/2" to fi replace edge
Combustible fi replace fi nishing:
Sides and bottom	0" to fi replace edge

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop spacer W500- 0028 (not supplied).

INSTALLING STANDOFFS

Both the BGD36CF(G) and BGD42CF are supplied with two standoffs. For convenience, the standoffs have been shipped fl at and located on the top at the front. Before framing ensure the standoffs are bent up and screwed into place ensuring a height of 4.5".

NOTE: The information and dimensions in this section represent the minimum clearances to combustible material.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent sys- tem is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.

BGD36CF(G) ONLY: A steel header is required if using optional clean face surround.

the cavity.

Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fire- place but must not cover any of the black face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas but must not restrict glass door removal.
