INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

The FP90 may be placed on or near construction
materials. The combustion air kit, fi re 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
55-1/2" (1410mm) from bottom of unit.
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.
No Combustibles on Face of Unit.
Combustibles May Not Extend to
Unit Face.
Do not notch wallboard around
standoffs.
NOTE FOR MANTEL LEGS:
For every 1" (25mm) pretrusion
greater than 5" (127mm), you
must travel away from the unit
1" (25mm) starting at 2" (51mm)
from the edge of the hearth
extension.

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.
WARNING: Do not pack or fi ll 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
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 fi re rating
on one or all sides of fi re chases. Check
with your local authorities.
