INSTALLATION

FRAMING & FINISHING

1)Determine the total thickness of facing material (eg. 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.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening for the assembled kit is 47-1/2" high x 48-1/2" wide x 26-1/4" deep (1207mm H x 1232mm W x 667mm D). See Diagram 1. See important note below when installing with any veritical venting off of the top.

Diagram 1

Note: 43" (1092mm) is the minimum height for flex termination and

Simpson Dura-Vent terminations.

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 unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.

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

IMPORTANT

When installing the unit with any vertical venting off the top of the unit as shown, the minimum framing depth changes accordingly.
