INSTALLATION

material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per lo-
cal 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 suit-
able combustible fi nishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be complete-
ly 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
for Simpson Dura-Vent, see page 7.
