FRAMING

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

NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is required 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.

To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall.

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

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accommodate 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 flashing accessories.

Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces:

Combustible Framing:

-0" to stand-offs

-1" to bottom and sides of the vent pipe*

-2" to top of the vent pipe*

Combustible Finishing:

-0" to rear

-0" to front face top and sides

-13" recessed depth

Rear Vent

-39 1/8" to enclosure top from base of the unit

-45 1/8" to ceiling from base of the unit

Top Vent

-53 1/8" to enclosure top from base of the unit

-53 1/8" to ceiling from base of the unit

*HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS - A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom and sides and 2" at the top of the vent pipe in all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop 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 firestop spacer W500-0096 (not supplied).
