Minimum Clearances
•
When installed, walls in front of the fireplace
must be a minimum 18" to the side of the
faceplate (or 15-1/2" from the side of the
fireplace) – see the illustration under
"Installation Overview".
•
Fireplace should be located such that no
doors, drapes, furniture or other
combustibles can be placed close or swing
closer than the minimum 36" clearance.
Due to the high heat output of this fireplace,
choose a location away from high traffic
areas.
•
Fireplace must be placed so the vents below
and above the glass do not become blocked
Page 3
A firestop is required at the top of
the fireplace enclosure or ceiling
level (whichever is lower).
Min. 4-1/2"
We recommend installing the
shaded framing members
after installing the chimney.
Arrange the framing
members so there is not a
vertical member directly in
the center of the opening
where it would interfere with
pipe clearances.
Header
(install veritcally to
ensure proper pipe to
header clearance)
NOTE: make sure the
enclosure is wide enough to
accommodate the blower
(see the section"Blower" for
details).
