Framing Your Gas Fireplace - Marquis MQHBZDV3636 Instruction Manual

MQHBZDV4736 - Framing for your Gas Fireplace
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fire-
place against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recom mended
that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation
codes. Drywall must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of
insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace
framing dimensions specified (See Framing Diagrams). Bend nailing
tabs forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed
enclosure. This allows for 1/2" in front of framing tabs for finishing
materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the
bottom, sides and top of fireplace. (louvered models only)
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a mini-
mum of two and a half (2.5") inches above the bend in enclo-
It is recommended for Propane Horizontal Installations that the venting should be a minimum of one foot vertical off the
flue before the elbow on any horizontal runs of one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner combustion and greatly reduces
carboning and cleaning of glass. (Does not apply to Back Flue Models).
MQHBZDV47 Louvered
sures,insulation sleeve is required. If greater than six and a half (6.5") an
insulation sleeve is not required.
5. For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1" above
the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with HB47CVCK
(Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can raise 7" above
the bottom of the fireplace with portions being combustible and
non combustible. See drawing on following page.
6. When installing MQHB47SWCC wall surround, the fireplace
must be raised a minimum of 3 1/2" above the finished floor, to
accommodate the wall surround. When installing
MQHB47SWCV wall surround the fireplace must be raised 2
3/4" above the finished floor. The fireplace may be raised higher
but the 60" clearance measured from the bottom of the fireplace
to the ceiling must be maintained at all times. (i.e. For an 8 ft.
ceiling the unit can be raised only 36 inches.)
