CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION
The FP90 may be placed on or near construction materials. The combustion air kit, fire stop spacer and roof fl ashings (not chase fl ashings) may be placed directly on or against normal construction materials. The chimney requires a minimum 2" (51mm) clearance. A combustible mantle (to a depth of 10", 254mm) may be installed no closer than 18" (457mm) above the warm air vent or
The chimney must be enclosed when installed in or passing through a living area where combustible material or people may come in contact with it. This is important to prevent possible personal injury or fi re hazard.
For any further information, please call your dealer. Special restrictions apply to the front and facing of the fi replace and nearby walls.
WARNING: If insulation is used, do not place the unit against it. Insulation or vapor barriers, if used, must be secured to assure insulation and vapor barriers remain in place and do not affect the required air spaces.
No Combustibles on Face of Unit.
Combustibles May Not Extend to Unit Face.
Do not notch wallboard around standoffs.
WARNING: Do not pack or fill required air spaces with insulation or other material. No material of any kind is allowed in these areas.
NOTES:
1)Do not insulate the chase cavity with blown or fi ll type insulation materials.
2)Local codes may not require fi restopping at the ceiling level for outside chase installations; however, it is recommended for safety and the reduction of heat loss.
3)We recommend that you insulate at least the fi rst fl oor of the chase to prevent heat loss.
4)Some local codes require 1 hour fire rating on one or all sides of fire chases. Check with your local authorities.
