Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is 4 inches (102mm).
The back of the fireplace may be recessed 23 (584mm)
inches (546mm) into combustible construction.
Minimum Clearances
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials
Glass Front ........................ 36 .............. 914

Sides ........................... 1/2 ............... 13
Top ......................... 4 1/2 ............ 114
Ceiling* ........................... 31 .............. 787
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the

For minimum clearances, see the direct vent termination
clearance diagrams on pages 20 and 21 in this manual.
The distance from the unit to combustible construction
is to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to
the combustible construction, NOT from the screw
heads that secure the unit together.
Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
