FRAMING

The has been designed to be installed mid-way up a wall. When installing this unit close to the finished floor, the unit must be raised a minimum of 2” (unobstructed) to allow for full rotation of the control door. It is not necessary to install a hearth extension.

Although the unit fits between studs, most jurisdictions will not allow a “hole” in the warm air envelope of a residential structure. It is recommended to build either an interior or exterior chase with a minimum depth of 7”.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local building codes.

To install the fireplace face flush with the finished surface, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished surface. Use 4 flat-head screws to secure the nailing tabs to the framing. Cover the nailing tabs with your finishing material.

NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace

body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
