OPEN-END INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

VENTING

FIGURE 22

Refer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clear- ance of 2" to combustible material on the top and 1" on the sides and bottom.

FRAMING

See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions. NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula- tion 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 the cavity.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes. NOTE: The one side stud must be steel.

FACING

Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fi replace 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.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace system.

When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accom- modate for the thickness of the finished floor 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 fl ashing accessories.

Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a mini- mum of 48" away from the glass front faces.

FINISHING

Refer to pages 23-26 for complete instructions regarding mantel requirements and installations, log placement, glass door and upper and lower louvre attachments. A minimum of 3" of cement board or non-combustible equivalent must be installed against the side edge of the fi replace.

A = 25¼" minus fi nishing material thickness each side.

NOTE: LEFT CORNER UNIT ILLUSTRATED

To install the fi replace face fl ush with the fi nished wall, posi- tion the framework to accommodate the thickness of the fi nished wall.

BRICK PANEL INSTALLATION

Install the base panels as illustrated in steps 1-4 on page 15. The side panel sits under the bracket tab. Holding the side panel in position, bend down the tab to secure. DETAIL 6.
