FRAMING & FINISHING
FRAMING & FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of the facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the finished
surface to be flush with the front of the unit. The
ASC-36 series may be installed with the facing
material adjacent to the finished flange.

NOTE: The fireplace does not have to be
completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on
the top of the fireplace is 0" to the spacers. You
must maintain clearance
components to combustibles.
IMPORTANT: The header above the framed
opening must be placed upright so as to allow for
proper clearance of the vent pipe. See figure 6.
3) If the fireplace is to be installed into an exterior wall.
The enclosure or fireplace chase should be insulated to
the same degree as the home. Check with your local
building official for any additional local requirements
(e.g. vapor barriers, drywall).
INSULATE THE FIREPLACE ITSELF
4) The top of the fireplace should be no closer than 18"
with M & G DirectVent Pro pipe, or 21" with flex
pipe to the ceiling of the fireplace enclosure.
58-3/4"
