Fireplace Placement Requirements

Clearances to Fireplace


Sidewalls to the front of the fireplace must be 45" (1143mm) from the centerline of the fireplace (see
"a" in the illustration below).

Any combustible (bookshelf, column, etc.) that protrudes less than 7" (178mmmm) from the front of
the fireplace must be placed a minimum 24-3/8" (620mmmm) from the centerline of the fireplace. If
this combustible protrudes farther, it must meet the sidewall clearance (see "b" and "c" in the
illustration below).

The fireplace requires a ½" (13mm) clearance to the back and sides (stand-offs are pre-installed to
provide this clearance). Do not place insulation or other material into this area. Drywall or other
combustibles must maintain a ½" clearance to the sides of the fireplace (see "d" in the illustration
above).

Fireplace should be located such that no doors, drapes, furniture or other combustibles can be
placed close or swing closer than the minimum 48" clearance. Due to the high heat output of this
fireplace, choose a location away from high traffic areas.
