3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fi replace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on
top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so
combustible building materials can be
laid directly on top of the standoffs.
You must maintain clearance from
the vent to combustible materials
for fl ex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to
"Clearances" Section).
