Facing Requirements


Non-combustible facing must extend from the base of the fireplace to 35-1/2"(902mm) above the base of the
fireplace (see illustration below for details).

Non-combustible facing must extend the entire width of the unit to the framing opening on both sides.

Do not place facing over the glass opening.

Drywall (or other combustible) may be placed above the non-combustible facing (35-1/2"(902mm) above the
base of the fireplace). See illustration below for details.
WARNING: Do not place drywall or other combustibles over the front of the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the facing. The high temperatures of the
fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or other non-
combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure cement board or tile backer to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 1/2"(13mm).
1/8" (3mm) Gap
Make sure non-combustible board is cut and positioned so it maintains a 1/8" (3mm) gap from the tile
stop. This allows the fireplace structure to expand without cracking the facing (see dimensions below).
