VENTING

Refer to "VENTING" section. All venting must have a minimum clearance of 2" to combustible material on the
top and 1" to the sides and bottom.
4.2

FRAMING

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE APPLI-
ANCE ENCLOSURE BE "FINISHED" (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH ANY
OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES IS
DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIR
SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING
OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK OPENING
INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE INSULATION AND
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO MAIN-
TAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS LISTED
MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS CONSISTING
ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS, OR ANY COM-
BINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING ASTM E 136,
STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE FURNACE AT
750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE
IF STEEL STUD FRAMING KITS WITH CEMENT BOARD ARE PROVIDED, THEY MUST BE INSTALLED.
