Minimum Framing Dimension

FRAMING HEIGHT
Framing height is determined by the height of the upper convection air manifold. See the section
"Convection Air Manifold" for details.

Minimum framing dimensions are shown in the illustration below. Do not build into the enclosure.
Min. Ceiling or Enclosure Height = 3-1/2" above framing header.
Max. Header
Depth = 3-1/2"

The enclosure over the fireplace must be a minimum 3-1/2" (89mm) above the framing header.

The ceiling in front of fireplace must be a minimum 3-1/2" (89mm) above the framing header (min. 10"
above the manifold outlet).

NOTE: The enclosure circulates room air. We recommend dry-walling the interior of the enclosure or
using suitable means to prevent dust or building debris from being circulated into the room. MAKE
SURE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL ½" TO THE DEPTH/WIDTH IF USING DRYWALL.

The fireplace enclosure (chase) conveys room air. This area must be insulated and drywall applied if
on an exterior wall.
