INSTALLATION

FRAMING AND FINISHING

1)Determine the total thickness of facing material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.

Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing Supportbeforeunitisslippedintoposition. See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" Section

2)Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.

Vertical Termination or

Vertical Rise with Horizontal

Termination

For Both Rigid & Flex

NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Rigid Vent termination cap. (For example Dura-Vent).

Rear Termination

For Rigid Vent

For Flex Vent

For Both Rigid & Flex

NOTE: If this isan outsidecorner, the minimum distance between the vent and the outside corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Rigid Vent termination cap. (For Example Dura-Vent).

3)For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)

4)The top of the unit must not be closer than 30" (762mm) to the ceiling.

5)Combustible material may be brought up to the top and sides of the unit and be covered with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suitable combustible fi nishing materials.

Note: Theunitdoesnothavetobecompletely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so combustiblebuildingmaterialscanbe laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to "Clearances" Section).

6)Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.
